A bit before my time

Is it me or was Taxi also a show "about nothing"? I'll never forget the scene where Cristopher Lloyed snorted a brownie.

One of my all time favourite TV memories: seeing Mork for the first time on "Happy Days" giving Ritchie a crazy ride. You could only say, "Who is this guy??!!"

Hi.
Three's company that's my favorite comedy serial.I really enjoyed it.

Great to hear there's another fan.

Been re-watching The Cosby Show of late, and I'm now on season 3 and I realized Bill Cosby is a jazz lover. Jazz music played on the TT in his living room happens on lots of episodes. The whole family would dance to jazz music, and even his dad (on the show) would play some horn instruments with known jazz musicians in real life. Comedy and jazz. A good combination to relax at night.

All time favorite would be The Office. The best out there right now is The Office, Modern Family, and Parks and Recreation with an honorable mention to The Big Bang Theory. One that i loved that got canceled was Better Off Ted.

Frasier
The Blackadder
The Young Ones
Fawlty Towers

Aw, Fawlty Towers. Could never get enough of that show! Why did US give up physical comedy???

There were few episodes made of Fawlty Towers, but he each was fantastic. My fave. was the Germans episode, where Basil keeps telling everyone not to mention the war.

The original The Office (U.K.) seemed more harsh, and it made me cringe much more than the American version. I prefer the U.S. version.
