Early Doors was a very underrated sitcom.

Craig Cash wrote it. Excellent show.

Just started watching Last chance U....

Love these shows, makes you wonder what sport you'd have taken up at school had you been brought up in the states?

Looking at your own skill set...

Beer pong.

I'd have excelled in that, couldn't wrestle (clickey shoulders) too small for football and basketball ball..baseball would might be my only avenue or lacrosse!

Office (US) again, first class.

Have also watched Parks & Recreation for the first time recently, watched it all but didn't think it was super tbh, found a couple of the main characters pretty annoying.

That Sean Boylan documentary was very good.

The toughest summer last night on RTE was very good.

Great choices and I'd add an even earlier one to it in Steptoe and Son.
Does Crossroads qualify as a comedy?

Enjoyed the 1st season. Halfway through the 2nd season we got bogged down in the grimness of all the characters and bowed out. Might revisit. Have a brother who raves about it.

Finally got around to starting The Office (USA). My god, its some craic but tough going at times! 4 episodes max before a break from Michael Scott!
