To my UK cousins:

Along with your many, many contributions to great music in this world, I think you make some great TV shows. Hopefully the shows I'm about to list aren't considered horrible there:

Peep Show
The IT Crowd
That Mitchell and Webb Look
The Catherine Tate Show
Little Britain
Shameless
Red Dwarf
The Office

Anything you can recommend in a similar vein although I realize I've listed pretty much all comedies, I'm cool other genres too. Clearly I like your sketch shows and Robert Webb/David Mitchell...

Also, I have to say thank you, thank you, thank you for David Attenborough. I have spent so much time watching anything I can get my hands on over here in Pennsylvania. I've always loved nature books and shows but he is simply a world treasure. I don't think anyone does it better than him.

Since someone mentioned Top Gear...



I'll add onto the list though: The Mighty Boosh, The Trip, and the obvious classic, Black Adder.

Life on Mars was awesome. Ashes to Ashes was great as well.
