How dare you put Keeping Up Appearances on there!

Lost is seriously overated. One of the most expensive and confusing things I've ever seen.

I think it's because people were able to relate to the programme. I know I could. It was just simple in it's format but was grounded in a sense of reality, something which most sitcoms lack. *cough* World According to Becks *cough*

A decent script.

A decent set of actors.

A decent sense of comic timing.

A decent idea of comedy.

Shall I continue?

It really was one of the worst programmes I've ever seen and that's including Car Booty with *her* ooohh another one for the pile...

Oh hell yes, Little Britain.

Lost is rightly named, I lost interest after 2 episodes.
Hex, but thats just Sky plugging its own show repeatedly.
