Smack the Pony? Hilarious comedy show with a couple of chicks. I still remember the sketch where a young couple was looking through a house to buy, and was very impressed. Then they saw the last room, which had a giant pair of breasts on the wall. The guy was still interested, but the girlfriend said no, it was a bit too intimidating. Very, very funny.

Cheers, Acolyte.

Not too bad, but not hugely interesting anymore either. Maybe it'll get better.

Not that I mind nudity!!, but it just didn't go with the show.(I just saw the one where they inducted that girl into the sas because they needed a female pilot due to the Tibetan terrorist plane hyjacking-you know the one)

Why did they get rid of that excellent character named Jaimie?
Did I miss it in the last season? (I might have missed a show or two)

That guy was my favourite character, eventhough he seemed a bit skinny and breakable to be a tough SAS commando. But now it's worse, they bring in a very skinny petit woman.

How believable is that? Ever see the American movie called GI Jane? It's like they borrowed from that story line and transplanted it to ultimate force!
 
"Smack The Pony" is pretty good all in all, although some of their sketches leave you wondering what the hell that was supposed to be, very weird humor from time to time.
But I remember the "boob room", Acolyte! ;)
And "Coupling" is funnier than "Sex In The City" (not that much of an accomplishment though).
 
You guys have your Drama... over here all we have on prime time television is "Crime Scene Investigation."

We've got the cop shows, the Federal agent shows, the medical investigation shows... the missing persons shows. Golly, we've got 3, yes you read that right... 3 different "CSI" shows.

I'd take a bit of drama in the mix... :D

Well, I never.
That's filmed about 30 miles from.

Not the same since ... {What series you up to?} - might have spoiled you.
 
League of Gentlemen? That's even worse than most German comedies (and German TV comedies suck big time - only one exception).
