"I wonder why it’s “Mayday?” The distress call. Why d’you say “Mayday?” It’s only a Bank Holiday. Why not “Shrove Tuesday” or “Ascension Sunday?” Ascension Sunday! Ascension Sunday! The fifteenth Wednesday after Pentecost! The fifteenth Wednesday after Pentecost!"
"This isn’t dog food. It’s a piece of prime fillet steak in blue cheese sauce. It’s been charcoal broiled in garlic butter, and it's going to taste delicious. Delicious. Delicious."

"Well, now I know why dogs lick their testicles... it’s to take away the taste of their food."

It's the opening of that scene that sells it. "You can take that look of your face like I'm doing something disgusting. I'm just trying to stay alive"

That scene cemented me and my brother's 13- and 10-year old selves' belief that this was the greatest show ever made.
Marooned is done. I may switch to watching Twisted Metal and IT Crowd.
The menus on the IT Crowd dvds are brilliant. Video game themed.
The IT Crowd as a whole is brilliant. As was Father Ted. That's why I think it's so sad what Graham Linehan became. One of those cases where it's better to separate the art from the artist.
If we're making this kind of list, a little Green Wing feels appropriate too (especially if you've seen Episodes, the one with Matt Leblanc playing himself), as another Tamsin Greig & Stephen Mangan show of the same era (with Olivia Colman for good measure amongst a ton of others).
Also Episodes, as one of the most recent shows that have perhaps the same vibe that seems a little less common now, almost a capstone on that type of UK sitcom with the premise being converting that kind of thing for an US audience.
Wow. The Red Dwarf novels pretty much blow The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy out of the water. The writing is way better. You can tell the writers are more literate than Douglas Adams.

I am tempted to watch the first two seasons even though the novels cover most of it.
