"Mad Men," AMC. The best series still in production (followed closely by AMC stablemate "Breaking Bad"), this drama about the existential angst of an early 1960s ad man, Don Draper, has exemplary writing and acting that is intimate, reflective, funny and shaded, and it boasts the most memorable premise and look in ages. It carries the torch of greatness into the next decade.

Is this a copy & paste ? because if not the transformation in your literary style over a 24hr period is phenomenal, what ever the reason if it's possible you should market it & make a packet fella.

Or have we got someone here being a tad naughty ?

Since when was Mad Men a comedy? Very good drama but not comedy, IMHO Sherlock knocks anything else for six, the acting is sublime.
But anyway back to comedy.... I always like the scene were Lord Flashart steals Eddies Girl.

Haven't seen either Mad Men or IMHO Sherlock.

Big fan of Holmes - in particular Jeremy Brett's interpretation which I still swoon over every time.

Just for you and my own humble servant, Lord Flashheart:
"I've got such a crush on him!""

Pure class,
But if you do get chance, Sherlock, (IMHO, in my honest opinion, heres me trying to be clever!) is by far one of the best things the BBC have done in years.

1990s. Just for 'The Day Today' and 'Brass Eye' alone. Plus it saw the start of 'Have I got News.....'

The noughties (2003 - 04) had a couple of new comedy acts...

Little Britain

and

The Mighty Boosh - fresh comedy!



The above clip is from Come Fly with Me - made by the Little Britain team.

When it first was on BBC 3 in 2003 it was very good the first 2 series - but I admit after that I lost interest - but originally hillarious.

As for Mighty Boosh it has got a psychedelic pre-text - drug related!

As for the Impressions show - some of it's funny some...
