# Ha ha ha!
I used to very much enjoy The Thin Blue Line. However, having seen a couple of episodes again recently, it really was a pile of utter shíte!

# ...and just when you're about to commit suicide because there's nothing to laugh at...

# Hell yeah!
That truly was fucking brilliant! There were so many great sitcoms in the 2000's.

I just gazzed you an idea you might like....

# It had only one joke...
"Your cock-up... my arse"

# What? Black Books?
I don't remember that joke....

Sounds more like Game On to me....

# Noooo,
the Thin Blue Line, Black books had far more jokes than that.

# I was joking,
although I don't really remember that joke. It's been a long while though apart from the couple I saw recently.

I have been watching quite a few 80s and 90s sitcoms again recently. I haven't very often been able to shake the quote from Buddha of Suburbia from my mind, "The worst thing you can do to On the Road is read it again in your 20s."

This obviously does not apply to bona fide classics like Blackadder of course.

# Whilst Ben Elton was often extremely funny,
he was just as often horrendously shíte. And with that, GOOD DAY!

I love the Thin Blue Line.
