Has anyone seen Black Books yet?

For those who like British comedy- Has anyone seen Black Books on BBC America- I have all the episodes allready thanks to region 2- but in watching the 1st episode last week and the 2nd episode tonight- It reminded me sort of like a Seinfield type show with a British flavor- There is a begining and end for each episode where everything that goes on for the half hour has a finish by the end of the episode- Funny stuff
If you have not seen the show yet- give it a chance you might like it

I watched the first season and didn't really like it too much. Not that it wasn't funny or didn't have it's moments, but the comedy fealt too heavy handed. That was mainly to the way the bookstore owner dude talked...got on my nerves.

The Office and Spaced still reign supreme IMHO.

I got to see about 4 episodes on Comedy Central, before they just instantly and quietly stopped showing them completely. I loved it. Thanks for the heads up about ABBC, I will add this to my DVR list.

If you've seen Shaun of the Dead, the bookish boyfriend of the blonde girl is played by the same actor who plays Bernard Black. Quite a difference in characters.
