Fast-paced, but oh so British. There's something about the poker faces that rubs me the wrong way.

MASH: Season 7
Colonel Potter and his "Pony pucks!"-- no wonder this show lasted 11 seasons.

Friends: Season 5
C'mon, what other show could contrive to put a massive raw turkey on someone's head and not make it seem forced?

Doctor Who: Season 1

Maurice
Merchant Ivory and their subtle innuendos-- the interactions between Simcox, the valet, and Hall, the "gentleman", are what the film's all about.
