British Comedy TV Shows
Hey guys. I'm from the U.S. But, have been really enjoying watching these British comedy tv shows lately. Below is a list of all the ones I have watched or still watching. Anyone know of any other good ones with some of the same actors? actresses, perhaps? Thank you. 
The Inbetweeners, Friday Night Dinner, Plebs, Trollied, Chickens (short series), The Great Outdoors (short series), Rock & Chips (short series).

The short-lived Off The Hook was pretty good, with James Buckley from The Inbetweeners.
The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret is good, with Blake Harrison, Sharon Horgan, and David Cross.

Todd is supposed to be making even more poor decisions sometime this year in season 3. I haven't heard a lot since it was picked up last year, but I think it is starting production fairly soon.

Re: British Comedy TV Shows
The UK Inbetweeners is my fav show ever ! I'm strongly on the pulse of UK tv so have some recommendations
Drifters is like a female inbetweeners and has a few actresses from the first inbetweeners feature film
Coming of Age is another juvenile crude comedy show
No Heroics only lasted one series but was cool
Lunch monkeys is worth checking out
Him and her has been mentioned
The Job lot also isn't too bad
BUT you must check out (if you haven't already done so) two classics of British sitcom comedy (and not into the old cheesy era) and they are Men Behaving badly from the 90s and Coupling (series 1 to 3 only, forget about series 4). Coupling is one of the best written sitcoms ever and Men Behaving badly is just amazing

Re: British Comedy TV Shows
Fawlty Towers almost goes without saying, it's so iconic.
The IT Crowd is easily one of my favorite TV series ever from either side of the pond.
Spaced, just brilliant
Red Dwarf (2 more series are coming even after 25 years, crazy)

I love Coupling too (even though I wish it came along a few years later so it wouldn't have a laugh track). I know season 4 doesn't hold a candle to the first 3 seasons, but I still think it's worth watching if you enjoy the first 3 seasons. Just have to adjust your expectations accordingly.

Spaced is a comparatively little known gem for sure.
I have the first eight seasons of Red Dwarf on DVD but still haven't gotten around to watching it. It was a blind buy years ago but keeps getting pushed to the back of the stack.
