Have I Got News For You - I laugh out loud whenever I watch it, I can't wait for the new series. My normal practice is to record it as I watch it so that I can watch it again to catch the bits that I miss when laughing.

Sue, I'm assuming you meant you laughed out loud at the Simpson's. That's great.

It surprises me the number of adults who love the Simpsons.




That's because the cartoon is geared for adults. I wasn't allowed to watch it as a child as my parents knew it wasn't a good show for kids. But now that I'm an adult, I started watching it and love the show.

It's like some animes - just because it's a cartoon doesn't mean it's for children.

Yes, I know the show is geared for adults. I know the history behind the show. But not only adults watch it. Geez, I take back what I said.

No ClaraSue, I laugh at a programme called 'Have I Got News For You', it is a satirical news quiz, very funny. Er, I never watch The Simpsons.

Edited to say that I have just re-read your post about The Simpsons, now I can safely write my original comment about that show which was:

Er, sorry but I can't abide The Simpsons.

OH MY GOSH! I totally forgot about the best show ever, Friends. It's so funny! Especially Phoebe, she is kind of dumb but she is really wiered. For some reason wiered people make me laugh.

But the cool thing about the Simpsons is that both adults and kids like it.

Whose line is very funny.

My guilty pleasure is "Friends", one of the funniest sitcoms ever. Other recent shows that make me laugh are "Seinfeld", "Curb Your Enthusiasm", and "Wings". I also don't get British humor. Outside of Rowan Atkinson in "Mr. Bean", another laugh-out loud show which is basically physical humor rather than verbal, I don't get the humor. Of course, I've really never sat down and watched British TV enough to give it an honest try. That said, I do have the first season of "The Office" on order. Maybe that will do it for me.
