There are many shows on air right now, and most people think that it's safe to say that only about 1 per cent of them are really good quality. There are animal shows, cooking shows, comedy shows, drama shows, crime shows, and soap operas, and not very many of them are worth watching.
It is commonly stated that the best shows are the ones that aren't airing anymore, the ones that had a good run, and then either stopped while they were ahead, naturally came to a close, or for some other reason were discontinued. These shows are the ones worth buying in collections and keeping for years of re-watching and reliving.
So what are these shows?
Number 1:
Monty Python. Although it went off the air many years ago, thousands of people around the world still miss it dreadfully. It is the number one funniest TV series that the BBC ever aired in many people's opinions, and seemingly the one series
that anybody could be proud to have in their DVD collection. It might just be the number one favourite comedy series of all time.
The next on the list: the UK version of The Office, which is the original, and which many consider to be the best. While the US version has been massively successful, many of the people who have had the experience of seeing the UK version wish that it would have continued on as long.
The third show is Absolutely Fabulous, considered to be one of the perfect and most hilarious shows created. The story following the messy lives of Patsy and Edina became a cult hit, and not just in the UK. Its oddball and unique, and yet doubtless in the opinions of many people one of the funniest shows that has ever aired on BBC or any other network.
