Monty Python are all good, though they are just a bit over played, for the last 18 years I grew up listening to my Dad and his friends quote it. It got old.
"Oh no, oh yeah, tell me how can it be so fair
That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

- A.B. Original, Report to the Mist

"I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately."

Whilst it may have not been best it definitely deserved a mention up there.
I only really thought the 2nd and 3rd series were good after that it lost it's edge, shame really. :(

Python, overall, but it's a close vote for me.

"I'm here for an arguement." :lol:

AbFab was great too.

"How are you doing gran, since granmps died?"
"Oh fine dear, it's nice having some space to myself."

and The Young Ones was great too.

"All right, then, hands up, who likes me?"
*all hands go down, some almost to the floor* :lol: :lol:

NEVER FEAR! Mr Bean: The Movie 2 has just been given the greenlight and is being made for a 2004 release! And while on the subject of Rowan Atkinson I CANT WAIT for his new film - Johnny English to come out, the trailer just cracks me up!
