Ch4's latest offerings make Coming Of Age look good. Woah, woah, woah. Let's not get too hasty now. |

I've recently discovered an excellent trad sitcom currently in its second series - Miranda. Highly recommended.

I've seen bits of Miranda, doesn't seem funny to me.

I like it. Lots of jokes, no forced "dark" edge. Great old-school farce. Makes me properly laugh out loud to the point where I lose my composure.

Thank goodness for that, I was beginning to think I was the only one who liked Miranda. Great show, very faithful homage to the more old-school style of comedy shows from the 70s and 80s. The fourth wall addresses and "You Have Been Watching" cast rolls are a nice shout-out to these as well.

Also, best line of 2010: "Screaming geriatric dominoes!"

As no one else has mentioned these shows in a 4 comedy output discussion, am I right to assume that you people simply haven't seen these shows?
If not, watch them. They're both brilliant. Peep show has lines that will leave you laughing for absolutely ages and it's always different for each persons. The dialogue is written and delivered in such a way that you don't know what will set you off. Like, my friends will sit there and chuckle at the line "I'm not trying to piss on your bonfire; I'm trying to stop you from... pissing all over yourself," where as I pretty much indeed [censored] all over myself. It's hard to explain what makes Peep Show so well done so you may as well just watch it.
The Inbetweeners is [censored]ing brilliant and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Pretty much all criticisms of the show are false based on people not liking the idea of the show without actually sitting down and watching an episode of it. You cannot watch Neil punching the fish and not cry with laughter. |

Some great parts to episodes, the rest forgettable. First two series were unmissable, though. Peep Show is fantastic. Just wish I'd seen more of it. |

Not a big fan of Peep Show to be honest. I just don't like the format. That Mitchell and Webb Look/Sound is a lot better, as far as I'm concerned.

A lot of things haven't been mentioned, it doesn't mean we haven't seen them. That's an idiots logic. But I have to say I've loved Inbetweeners from the start, it's a fantastic show with it's awkward humour and terrible situatons that has me laughing out loud a lot. And I've never been a fan of Peep Show, but that's because I can't stand the sight of David Mitchell. |

I just don't find Peep Show all that funny. I mean, it's okay, but I don't like it enough to watch it religiously at all.
Keep meaning to check out Inbetweeners but my friends who like it are idiots so that tainted my perspective right from the outset.
