The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air - Series 4 [DVD]The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air - Series 4 [DVD]
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £9.95
Starting to lose its appeal now, with a weak college storyline and all. Still, Will's and James Avery's performances in "Papa's Got A Brand New Excuse" are among the best in their careers.
A Bit Of Fry And Laurie - BBC Series 1-4 Complete Box Set [1989] [DVD]A Bit Of Fry And Laurie - BBC Series 1-4 Complete Box Set [1989] [DVD]

When its good, its fantastic, but when its bad you'll be driven to distraction, which is said to account for forfty percent of all murders.
Futurama: Season 1 [DVD]Futurama: Season 1 [DVD]
Buy new: £13.48 / Used from: £5.89
The series where Fry and Farsworth speak in much higher voices, and "I suppose I AM in my pyjamas" fails to make the cut as a long running catchphrase.
Futurama: Season 2 [DVD]Futurama: Season 2 [DVD]
Buy new: £13.68 / Used from: £8.16
The series has got comfortable enough to give us Zoidberg-centric episodes. No thanks. Still best thing ever though.
Futurama: Season 3 [DVD]Futurama: Season 3 [DVD] by Billy West
Buy new: £13.38 / Used from: £4.99
Probably the best series, thanks to Beck, the Globetrotters and the Amazon.
Futurama: Season 4 [DVD]Futurama: Season 4 [DVD]
Buy new: £13.18 / Used from: £5.94
More solid gold quality, with many laughs and also dog-tears. Star Trek, killer bees, s'all good.
Futurama: Bender's Big Score [DVD] [2007] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]Futurama: Bender's Big Score [DVD] [2007] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
Buy used from: £3.99
Very high hit rate for a return after a long absence, with the exception of two songs and too much time spent setting up characters already familiar to us.
Futurama - The Beast with a Billion Backs [DVD] [2008]Futurama - The Beast with a Billion Backs [DVD] [2008]
Buy new: £7.18 / Used from: £2.62
Rubbish. Feels like someone who's never written for Futurama before wrote it.
Futurama - Bender's Game [DVD] [2008]Futurama - Bender's Game [DVD] [2008]
Buy new: £7.58 / Used from: £4.30
ack on track. Some of the references are a bit heavy handed, but for the most part the gags come thick and fast.
Futurama - Into The Wild Green Yonder [DVD] [2008]Futurama - Into The Wild Green Yonder [DVD] [2008]
Buy new: £9.57 / Used from: £8.00
Has some great bits, but I can't remember it much.
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace [DVD] [2004]Garth Marenghi's Darkplace [DVD] [2004]
Buy new: £7.28 / Used from: £5.93
Great cast, dialogue, music, plots, poor FX etc. Matt Berry's finest hour?
Generation Kill - Complete HBO Series [DVD] [2008]Generation Kill - Complete HBO Series [DVD] [2008]

Often hilarious. Perfect scripts. And James Ransone.

It's like they're SISTERS!
House - Season 1 (Hugh Laurie) [DVD]House - Season 1 (Hugh Laurie) [DVD]
Buy new: £12.98 / Used from: £9.20
Has lost much of its appeal to me now.
House - Season 2 (Hugh Laurie) [DVD]House - Season 2 (Hugh Laurie) [DVD]

Little better.
House: Season Three [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]House: Season Three [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Some more storylines make for a better season, but still too episodic.
The IT Crowd: Series 1-3 Box Set [DVD]The IT Crowd: Series 1-3 Box Set [DVD]
Buy new: £15.88 / Used from: £17.90
Botched promise at first, but it picks up very quickly and by the third series you'll be craving more.
King Of The Hill - Season 1  [DVD] [1997]King Of The Hill - Season 1 [DVD] [1997]
Buy new: £8.88 / Used from: £7.00
So much more understated than later seasons, from the acting to the writing.
King Of The Hill - Season 2 [DVD] [1998]King Of The Hill - Season 2 [DVD] [1998]
Buy new: £9.78 / Used from: £5.38
Another great season.
King Of The Hill - The Complete Third Season [DVD]King Of The Hill - The Complete Third Season [DVD]
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £7.99
An even better season, the best even, at least til the fifth. But by that stage the show had made some concessions to wackiness.
