Well, I think this proves that americans don't understand British comedies.

Dinnerladies is crap.

Blackadder is good, but nothing great and somewhat inconsistent. One of the earlier series was really rather dull.

I rather enjoyed Dinnerladies.
Blackadder was often inspired, but the earlier ones pretty patchy as you said.
OFAH makes me sad. I fail to see how people can like it.

And shame on all of you for not even mentioning Spaced.

Malcolm in the Middle did very poorly when showed to a test audience, then went on to become a massive hit with the general public. I see The Office as being similar, although it depends on the quality of the remake, of course.

The Office itself was heavily inspired by the american show Larry Sanders, which was, amazingly, a fly-on-the-wall office based show with no overdubbed laughter or anything. Ricky Gervais has cited Garry Shandling has a huge influence on him... so this whole topic is silly as the Americans did it first (and better - over the course of 9 series no less)

Yeah, but I expect they were very different types of humour.

And fly-on-the-wall "mockumentaries" and nothing new - anyone ever see People Like Us?

People Like Us is amazing. It's better than The Office in many ways.

Shame series 2 doesn't seem to have surfaced on DVD though, the airport one was one of the best.

I'm so happy friends is over. Only watched one episode of it (the last) and it was the most dull hour of my life.
