The millions of humans who've been telling sub-30 minute stories since before the age of recorded history would beg to differ.

Perhaps you should revise that statement to, "30min is not long enough for a story of sufficient complexity to engage my superior intellect."

What about Red Dwarf.  That series was practically cult in the UK.

30min is not long enough for a story of sufficient complexity to engage my average intellect, you smarmy git.

Over here too. Heck, the last couple seasons were actually co-funded by PBS.

Looking forward to the movie next year!

If it was, it'd probably have got more viewers....  I just thought it was bloody wierd.

Red Dwarf stopped being funny after a few series, though.  just about the time they got a bird into the series.......

[karajorma]

Red dwarf ceased to be as funny after series 6 (and signs of bad things to come were appearing even then)

(Ironically series 7 and 8 were the ones co-funded by PBS but I don`t think that's the problem. )

Doctor WHO = THE FIRST ORIGNAL SCI-FI (screw flash gordon Dan dare would kick his ass)

ULTIMATE FORCE = Purile crap, poor Respirator usage, youd get bollocked to the glasshouse if you had it hanging off your face like that in kosavo...., Take it from an ACTUAL Serving soldier, (sapper class 1 EOD Combat Engineer service no 25123242 I HATE ACF ATC AND SEA CADETS TOO !!)

Red Cap = Tamzin outwaite -Tasty, and a more REAL View of the army, at least they showed accurate drills in Red cap.

Eastenders, = Good old fashioned London life and when your 2 thousand mioles from home and everyone talks another language and you miss your GF etc, Seeing Sharon makes it all better

I always remember the sketch (I think it was from Punt and Dennis) complaining about how dumb the contestants on that show were.

Your task is to make a cup of tea....... It's too difficult! I`m coming out!

By the way, what happened to Space: Above and Beyond???

[The Claw]

Babylon 5= GOD
Star Trek= Suckz
Red Dwarf= Up to series 6 0WNZ J00, after it gets progressivly worse.
Dr Who= Not a big fan, but it seems OK
Dads Army= Brilliant old school humour
The Morecambe and Wise show= Comic Genius
The Two Ronnies= Again very good, especially the one with "The Raiders of the lost Auk"
Monty Python= Both programs and films, what can I say but "We are the nights that say NIH, and we demand a sacrifice"
Simpsons and Futurama are good, nice and simple for after a hard days learning about Aircraft Maintenance, Jet Engines etc.
'Allo 'Allo= Good, but very hard to follow since they mess up the order on TV.
The Osbournes= Love it, it's well funny.

Rather obscure British TV is a comedy program trying to corner the late night stoned market: Dare to believe. I liked it
Oh yes, and Black Books was good especially the first one where Bill Bailey accidentally ate his "little book of calm" and turned into a Jesus-alike.
 In the future look out for Bosch Beer adverts, the Rural School Infested With Demons series, and generally anything that has "made by Clan ><{}#sPaZm#{}><" written on it. It's all MINE (moohaha).

I remember watching reruns of Crystal Maze on the british station out of Hong Kong. That was the bestest gameshow ever.

I always wondered how they picked the contestants though. So of those puzzles were diabolically tough, but others were simple enough that even your average american Springer Guest could have figured them out.

[diamondgeezer]

Screw going on Crystal Maze. I always wanted to be on Knightmare. 'Course, I'd be the Dungeoneer:

Random Guard: You'll have to give me a bar of gold to pass this gate.

DG: I don't ****ing think so, my pedigree chum *smacks guard with 2x4*

Oh yeah -

It never got a second season, even though one was in the works. Therefore, I hate Fox. Would you like to know more?

[mikhael]

Never heard of Knightmare. What was it?

[diamondgeezer]

Enter, Stranger!

[mikhael]

That looks kinda cool, but a bit on the juvenile side.

[diamondgeezer]

I was in primary schoold when I first started watching Knightmare. Me and my mates were, what, seven? Kept watching it as I got older, but after a while it stopped getting better and just started getting daft as the flashy CGI seemed to become more important than the game. I guess it suffered the fate of every low-budget cult show - once it starts making money for the producers, they suddenly increase the budget and the program makers can easily get their prorities blurred... which is exactly what happened to the Dwarf after season six

[diamondgeezer]

Bugger...

[Colonol Dekker]

KNIGHTMARE IS KING< Im sorry i forgot about it,  The bit that used to scare the sh1t outta me (being 7/8 also when it started) was when the face in the wall asked you the password and you got it worong, So it eats you, Damn.....   Also when you do that spellcast eg>  S*U*B*M*A*C*H*I*N*E*G*U*N And you get an H&K MP5SD5 lets see an ord outrun my 9mm full metal jacket, Muahaha
