lucky i posted in this thread otherwise i wouldn’t of known it was on. Some shows peak early and then go to s**t, this one just keeps getting funnier.

I think The Office does, but it was only 2 seasons and has less truly hilarious moments IMO. The Office is more popular though no doubt and more influential. But the Guardian agrees with me, and I don't know too much about the UK newspaper scene, but they publish a great cryptic crossword so I would like to think they're a smart bunch!! It's one of these shows that has never rated hugely but has a big cult following and good DVD sales. Like Arrested Development.
Ricky Gervais actually came out a few years ago raving about Peep Show calling it the best show on tv and said "the last thing I got genuinely excited about on British TV was Peep Show, which I thought was the best sitcom since Father Ted"
And it's still going and has been consistently good. I rate David Mitchell really highly. Only have to watch him on stuff like QI to see how funny he is - his rants are legendary.
One of the writers of Peep Show, Jesse Armstrong, is a also a key writer for The Thick Of It, one of the other great British comedy series of recent times.
The movie In The Loop is based on TTOI.
I saw In The Loop today, one of the funniest things i've seen. Magnificent.
Great to see one of the best sitcoms of all time end on such a high note.
It hasn't finished yet. There's still two more seasons planned; http://www.comedy.co.uk/news/story/00000427/peep_show_series_8_and_9/
It might take a while, but they will come.
