Well, we are off once again to the wilds of Sutton this weekend. Niki has gone over to her Dad's with Pete and will be going down to Sutton from there tomorrow, and I'll be going straight from here tomorrow. A fun weekend of loking after Rabbits, Cats and trying to stop Pete from doing either of them any damage :))

So, this will probably be my last blog entry until next week and here is yet another of my top 10's:-

TOP 10 AMERICAN TV COMEDY SHOWS

10. Saturday Night Live
I really used to like this show when John Belushi, Gylda Radna, and Dan Ackroyd were on it, it's been through many line up changes and some of them have been good others haven't but I still don't think any of them has been as good as that line up was.

9. Happy Days
I used to love watching this show, although it suffered from the same problem as many sit-coms do and went on too long and got boring. But I can almost forgive it because it had The Fonz in and introduced the world to Robin Williams as Mork.

8. Mork & Mindy
Following on from the previous entry, I thought this show was excellent, but unfortunately it too went on too long and the last couple of series were pretty awful.

7. Starved
I came accross this show on cable one night purely by accident and thought it was a brilliant show, and so unlike what I expect from an American sit-com. The very idea of setting a sit-com around a group of people with eating disorders is just genius, this is one of the few sit-com that didn't go on any where long enough.

6. MASH
I used to love watching this and it became as much a part of my growing up TV watching as Monty Python did. Unfortunately when it is repeated on cable TV they show the American version of the show, which unlike the version that used to be shown on BBC here in the UK has a god-awful laughter track on it which spoils the comedy for me. I loved the mixture of comedy and drama that the writers managed to bring to every show.

5. Scrubs
This is a modern show that reminds me very much of MASH because of it's mix of comedy and drama. I really love this show and the guests they have in it sometimes are just brilliant.

4. Taxi
I remember watching this show late at night and it always made me laugh. I absolutely loved the Rev Jim played by Christopher Lloyd, he was a great character.

3. Comitted
This is another show I came accross by accident when flicking through the cable channels one day. It was so odd but brilliantly put together, and I think we could all do with a dying clown in our closets.

2. Becker
I really think this is Ted Danson's finest moment. He is excellent as the pain-in-the-arse Dr Becker. This is another show like MASH and Scrubs that has a great mixture of comedy and drama.

1. Boston Legal
I really don't know what to say about this show. I missed most of the first series, saw one or two and was a little confused but found them very funny, was reminded of it by Mr Kelly and now watch it all the time. It is brilliant and I think the best American comedy show on TV right now. It's worth watching just for William Shatner alone without the fact that all the others in it are so great as well.

Well that's all from me for now.
See ya.
