Where can I go to get Mid Morning Matters, Welcome to the Places of My Life, and Open Books? MMM isn't on Region 1 DVD and I don't see any of these on iTunes.

I will pm you download details for all of it except the first episode of MMM (for some reason). But it'll be a few minutes before it's ready.

Looks like MMM didn't disappear from YouTube but the vids are set to "unlisted". This guy managed to locate them.

Here is my second annual plea for the INSIDE SCOOP! Brits: are there any great new series these days? What's got the comedy nerds buzzing on your side of the atlantic?

Nothing is coming to mind. The TV channels are still crazy focused on these bullshit panel shows.

I watched seasons 1-5 pretty steadily, but it took me a long time to get through 6 and then I didn't watch it again until season 7 (about a year later). I was surprised at how funny season 7 ended up being.

I think I might be the only person who doesn't like the Mitchell and Webb Look better than Peep Show. It's always been Peep Show>Mitchell and Webb for me.

I liked Mitchell and Webb show OK but kind of dropped off. I like Peep Show much better, although I got left hanging when Netflix instant dropped it just as I was starting the last season. I felt like the cringe factor was gradually turned up until it was almost too much, possibly the breaking point being the derailed wedding. Still, there are some truly great moments in that show and overall it's one of the best comedies ever.

The boat trip episode is probably my favorite comedy episode of all time.  "Hey Mark, would you like some? Here, eat some turkey! I really feel that since I'm eating turkey, you should eat some turkey."
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!
