Here to show some love for the sometimes overlooked shows from the (IMO) golden age of British TV humor.
Monty Python
Only Fools and Horses
Blackadder
Mr. Bean
You Rang, M'Lord
Red Dwarf
Fawlty Towers
House of Cards
I actually enjoyed OFHs Rodneys (Nicholas Lyndhurst) show
After You've Gone from 2007, and of course, in Blackadder you had a chance to see the brilliance that would years later make Hugh Laurie a household face. Fawlty Towers is in a league of its own. That humor was straight out of Monty Pythons book (John Cleese, duh) and is, I would say, more brutal than any of the other mentioned shows.
The British version of House of Cards is far more terrifying than the American one. It just has more grittiness and slime oozing from its pores.
The above-mentioned shows might not be so popular in the states and might not be considered Famous in that regard, but in Europe they were HUGE.
Oh, and I almost forgot.
Poirot! David Suchet was brilliant in it. A roller for the ages.
And
On the Buses...what a gem...
Damn, I have to stop now, they just keep poping up, I need to binge watch all of them
