5. It was a British comedy
A mixture of South Park and Monty Python.It's pretty crazy,and not for everyone (it's not a Britcom like Keeping Up Appearances or Good Neighbors,to say the least).

12. I still watch it religiously
I'm to the point where I can quote whole episodes :)

Ade Edmondson and Rik Mayall also did a series called Bottom that's almost as good.

14. I'd go as far as saying that's one of the best sitcoms EVER.
The Box Set is your friend on a rainy day and in need of a laugh.

15. Oh yeah....I've already worn out the tapes I had,so the box set was mana from heaven
Alexie Sayle's show was really funny too,if you can get past the hardcore cockney accent :)

17. Same here...most people think I'm mad,which is correct,just not for that reason.

"I've told you million times,do not exaggerate!"

I don't why but I always like the biggest dicks in shows.Rik totally kills me and he's such a complete bastard.That probably says something about me :)

10. Isn't 'Alf" the one that starred Joe Lieberman as the father?
Or so I thought...
