How odd... I REFUSE to watch shows like "The Simpsons", but I found the old BBC show "Faulty Towers" to be absolutely hilarious! Not many shows make it from the UK to here, "Dr. Who" seems to be their only success of late, but what makes it is good.

If I want to see funny-looking people in embarrasing sexual situations, I don't need sitcoms, I just go to work! (just kidding)
