I've seen Black Books a friend gave me a link to watch them online...I got through quite a bit of them before I lost the link. I've only seen Boosh once, I haven't been able to catch it on tv since then! Pity, cuz it looks really good.

Scottish comedy is the best, British is good too though, I like Little Britain from Britcom but I love 'Chewin' The Fat' and 'Still Game' they're awesome.

Also, Billy Connolly is the best god damn comedian ever...just had to get that in somewhere lol
