    What do you like? Sitcoms, Sci-Fi, Drama....the Brits do it well.

    I loved the IT Crowd and found Coupling a good compromise as a chick show to watch with the wife. We also watched Primeval. Red Dwarf is one of my favorites, and they are making six new episodes that should air next year.

    Sherlock was a great mini series that ran last year on BBC. It was better than the movie in fact.

    Father Ted is funny. It's canceled because the main character died. Peep Show is funny also.

    Misfits is an awesome series. It's Heroes with 200% less censorship and before the writers completely ran out of ideas. It's only 6 episodes a season and I can give you the link to watch them.
    also this

    Top Gear. There's a reason it's the most watched show in the world.

    I like anything with Rob Brydon and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Some stuff with James Corden...I also like all the Alan Partridge shows (mostly anything with Steve Coogan). Jonathan Ross is a good host.

    I like the BBC version of Being Human, the SyFy version isn't horrible either.
