depending on how long since you moved, QI could be worth a watch, or at the other end of the intellectual spectrum, 'the inbetweeners' is fantastic if a little crude!

Hmmm, depends what you like.

If childish insults based on appearance and/or sexuality, mostly delivered by intellectually challenged attention whores with the vocabulary and sparkling wit of the late Jade Goody float your boat, then 'Mock The Week' or 'Eight out of Ten Cats' might fit the bill.
Hugh Dennis is quite funny though.

'Outnumbered' is tolerable, if small precocious children don't make you vomit.

'Skins', 'Sugar Rush' and 'The Inbetweeners' are/were all good and pretty funny IMO. Have you seen 'Shameless'? The first couple of series were ace.

'The Royal Family' specials have been really good, 'Armstrong and Miller' was a bit hit and miss, as was 'The Peter Serafinowicz Show'.

'Shooting Stars' is back and still great, as was 'The Thick Of It' if you like politics.

Everyone seemed to like 'Gavin and Stacey'.

TBH, you've not really missed much.
I'd like to see 'The Beachcombers' again. 🙂

You might be able to get Misfits on 4OD. Sounds like the worst possible synopsis but a very good (and sexy, and sweary) comedy drama.

We Need Answers (BBC4) is good too, like watching an edinburgh fringe show on your telly.

Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe / [url=

/ Gameswipe are all worth a watch too

Funny, from the thread title, I was going to say: -

House
The Mentalist
Supernatural
Fringe

But I guess you get all those before we do.
