I'll help you guys out. I will post a list over series that are going to be aired:  Allo Allo (Cafe Rene) 'Allo 'Allo is the story of a French cafe owner during World War II and his various entanglements with the German officers who are controlling the town, the French resistance which is attempting to smuggle downed British airmen back to England, and the beautiful waitresses who work for him and want him to leave his wife. All of these various themes are woven into a tapestry of plot that extends from episode to episode, making 'Allo 'Allo one of the few examples of a "continuous sitcom" ever produced - each episode follows logically from the last, making it advisable to watch the show in order to enjoy the show to its fullest. As the storyline weaves from one absurd escape scheme to another, as the characters connive and cavort, and as the war itself progresses, the humor flows from the basic premises in wonderful fashion, resulting in my all-time favorite comedy show. Story Background: During the Second World War, the French village of Nouvion is invaded and commandeered by the German army. The invading army installs a commandant for the town, Colonel Von Strohm, and his assistant Captain Geering. But (as many occupying forces were wont to do during the war), the two decide to take this opportunity to line their pockets with as much confiscated booty as possible - and to that end, they begin collecting any valuable works of art they can find in the village so they can hide them and fortuitously "discover" them after the war. Meanwhile, the German high command has sent a Gestapo officer, Herr Flick, to the town to commandeer the most precious works of art, in order to present them to the Fuhrer in Germany. Unfortunately, one of the known works in question, the famous painting of the "Fallen Madonna" (with the big boobies) has already gone missing, thanks to the efforts of the Colonel and the Captain. Meanwhile, Rene Artois, the owner of "Cafe Rene", a small cafe in town, is wrestling with his conscience and his pocketbook. He can't deny that the Germans occupying the town have money to spend and goods to barter, and he is happy to take it; but he also dislikes what the war and the Germans have done to his town, so he ends up (reluctantly) cooperating with the French resistance as well. The Resistance want him to stop dealing with the Germans; the Germans want him to stop dealing with the Resistance. A healthy standoff. As a central and busy location in Nouvion, Cafe Rene naturally becomes a crossroads and junction for the Resistance, who are constantly bringing downed British airmen through to hide them temporarily while an escape plan is brought to fruition. Meanwhile, Rene himself deals with not-unwelcome amorous advances from his beautiful waitresses as well as various ridiculous situations, including attending his own funeral and getting trapped inside a British POW camp. What is a Frenchman to do? |

 Stan Smith, who works for the CIA and is constantly on the alert for terrorist activity. Stan will go to extremes to protect his beloved America from harm; as evidenced by the terror-alert color code on his fridge, and his frequent knee-jerk reaction of shooting holes in the toaster whenever the toast pops up. In addition to Stan's wife and teenage children, the Smith household has two rather unconventional members. There's Roger, the sarcastic space alien who rescued Stan from Area 51 who deeply resents the fact that he's not allowed to leave the house, and therefore, has been reduced to drinking wine and smoking cigarettes, and Klaus, a lascivious, German-speaking goldfish; the result of a CIA experiment gone seriously wrong where the CIA tried to give a fish a German man's brain. Stan's son is a dorky teenager who tries to be cool. His wife has had a past life of sex and drugs. |

Dad's Army  Walmington-on-Sea, an imaginary south-coast town not far from Eastbourne, was the setting for the Second World War adventures of a disparate group of men who, prevented by age or some other disability from enlisting in the services, enrolled as Local Defence Volunteers (LDV), forming part of Britain's 'last line of defence', a force which became known colloquially as 'Dad's Army'. Creator/writer Jimmy Perry had been in one such LDV group when he was 16 and based the idea upon his own experiences; it was his first sitcom. He and co-writer David Croft populated the show with a host of memorable characters, each with a recognisably different trait: the Captain, Mainwaring (pronounced Mannering), was pompous and suffered from delusions of grandeur that regularly led to his downfall; his Sergeant, Wilson, was vague and - to the perpetual annoyance of Mainwaring - cultured and public-school educated; Jones was dotty; Pike was precious; Walker was wily; Frazer was pessimistic; and Godfrey was frail. Often in opposition to them were the effete vicar, the oleaginous verger, the bullish ARP warden and the officious Colonel, Mainwaring's rival from a nearby town. All of the men had day jobs: Mainwaring was the local bank manager, Wilson his chief clerk and Pike the clerk; Jones was the local butcher; Frazer was the undertaker. The comedy arose from the bickering interplay between all these characters and the sometimes desperate attempts to solve the unlikely problems encountered by the accident-prone but determined and well-meaning platoon. |

Fawlty Towers  Fawlty Towers made its first appearance on BBC2 on 19 September 1975. It had a simple but clever premise. Basil Fawlty, a frustrated, angry, short-tempered, super-snobbish misanthrope, is the very antithesis of the sort of person who should run a hotel, where a calm demeanour, winning smile, patience and a desire to make guests feel at home are the required attributes. But run a hotel Basil does, the quaint Fawlty Towers, or, rather, he runs it jointly with his formidable wife Sybil, a woman who has the ability to exude the required superficialities but is monstrously vitriolic towards her husband. Despite his anger and tendency to verbal violence, Basil is definitely under Sybil's thumb: she rules the roost, and rarely on TV have viewers witnessed such seething hatred, with no undercurrent of love, between a married couple. To help run the hotel the Fawltys employ Polly, a sensible, down-to-earth maid/waitress who is often embroiled in Basil's schemes and their inevitably disastrous consequences, being forced to lie on his behalf or extricate him from trouble (for which he rarely thanks her since she is merely an underling, the hired help). The Fawltys also employ a Spanish waiter/porter and general dogsbody, Manuel. A keen worker, Manuel is eager to please but possesses a poor command of the English language. In the position of the dog to be kicked following run-ins with his wife, Basil vents most of his frustrations on Manuel, screaming at the hapless soul, browbeating him and often physically assaulting him. |

Keeping Up Apperances  Hyacinth Bucket (she insists it’s pronounced “Bouquet”) is so obsessed with etiquette and breeding that she has made her husband Richard’s life miserable. Their house is spotless, their car is perfect and they don’t even use the back door of their house. Why she even puts her empty milk bottles in the dishwasher so they are spotless on the doorstep!  The rest of her family is another story. Her sister Daisy’s husband Onslaw is a slob and her lecherous father is a drunk. Imagine her shame when he is arrested pedaling naked on his bike while chasing a milkwoman.  |

Only fools and horses  The programme title is based on an old saying: "Only fools and horses work (for a living)", a reference to the protagonist's tax- and work-evading lifestyle. John Sullivan originally wanted to call the show 'Readies', but later changed his mind as he thought a longer title grabbed people's attention. The theme song is written and sung by Sullivan. In the first series a different theme was used: this was changed to help viewers understand the meaning of the programme's title. Derek "Del Boy" Trotter (played by David Jason) and his younger brother Rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst) share a flat with their elderly Grandad (Lennard Pearce) several floors up Nelson Mandela House in a high-rise estate in Peckham, South London (although the actual high-rise shown in the show was in Acton, West London). Del Boy runs Trotter's Independent Traders (sometimes also called Trotters International Traders Plc)Â — he's a fast-talking Cockney market trader, a wheeler-dealer, a wide boy, always looking to try to make a quick buck, cash in hand, no questions asked. At the start of the first series Rodney joins Del in the business. Their mother died when Rodney was young, and their father disappeared long ago. Del's been Rodney's surrogate father for most of his life. Del will do any deal to make money: "This time next year we'll be millionaires", he says. But most of the deals are too dodgy to succeed. Their flat is often piled high with dodgy gear they can't sell, from briefcases with the combination locked inside them to sun tan lotion in the middle of winter. The brothers' friends include a nouveau riche used car dealer, Boycie, and his wife Marlene; a slow-on-the-uptake road sweeper, Trigger, who always calls Rodney "Dave"; lorry driver Denzil; Mike, the barman at their local pub the Nag's Head; and Del-wannabe Mickey Pearce. The show's one constant is the bond between the brothers. Unafraid of mixing comedy with tragedy, over the years we see their successes and failures, their loves and their losses. Grandad dies, and they're joined by their Uncle Albert; Del and Rodney both find long term love; Del and his "significant other" Raquel have a child, Damien; Rodney and his wife Cassandra split up and get back together; Uncle Albert dies; Cassandra miscarries, but finally she and Rodney have a child too. The Trotters strike it rich but lose it all again. |

The Thin Blue Line  Rowan Atkinson of Mr. Bean fame was the star of the BBC sitcom The Thin Blue Line. The setting was the tiny British town of Gasforth, where a squad of dedicated, but basically inept police officers held sway. Atkinson was cast as Inspector Raymond Fowler, whose self-absorption was matched by his clumsiness. Other members of the squad included Raymond's former live-in lover Sgt. Patricia Dawkins, chronically depressed Detective Inspector Grim, Constable Maggie Habib, and Constables Kevin Goody and Frank Gladstone. During the second season, two new characters were added to the mixture: Mayoress Wickerham, whose efforts at imposing "political correctness" at all costs only served to make bad situations worse, and CID Detective Boyle, whose efforts to work hand and glove with the squad usually resulted in botched arrests and public relations disasters. |

Yes Minister  First-class political satire, admired not only by the public but also by politicians of all persuasions, and reputedly Prime Minister Thatcher's favourite show. One of the shining lights of the 1980s for the BBC, Yes Minister became the first programme to win the Bafta Best Comedy Series award three years in succession, during which time it became, entirely deservedly, a national institution. Clever and complex plotting, cracking and convoluted dialogue, accurately drawn observations and top-notch acting all combined to create a Rolls-Royce of a show that ran with the smoothness of that engine and the precision of a ministerial cover-up. Co-writer Jonathan Lynn saw the show in simple terms: a Jeeves-and-Wooster concept wherein 'the servant is cleverer than his master'.  Yes Minister depicted the career of a new minister - James Hacker PC, MP, BDc (Econ) - as he negotiates the workings of government office. Hacker represents an unspecified political party but is clearly a moderate, either centre-right (most likely) or centre-left. He enters office as Minister of Administrative Affairs with enthusiasm and ambition, determined to make his mark upon public life, but soon comes to realise that his hands are tied by complex bureaucratic regulations that seem both indecipherable and insurmountable. His Private Secretary, the pedantic Bernard Woolley, does his best to steer Hacker through the minefield, but whatever progress the two of them make is usually revealed as a dead-end. This is because, keeping one or more steps ahead of Hacker, is his Permanent Secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby KCB, MVO, MA (Oxon), a silky-smooth senior civil servant with a treasure trove of baffling phrases, paradoxical reasoning and enigmatic explanations. In Sir Humphrey's hands, Hacker is merely the ball in a Machiavellian game of political ping-pong. In every episode, the hapless Hacker, not the most intelligent of men, attempts to carry through what he believes to be a bright, new initiative or policy, intended to cut costs or improve public services (and, at the same time, to promote his name), only to find his plans re-routed or derailed by the usually imperturbable Sir Humphrey. To the civil servant, one minister is just like the next, irrespective of his political persuasion: an unavoidable irritant who must not, at any cost, be allowed to run the country. That is the job of the civil servants, and it is his solemn duty to uphold the status quo and, at the same time, feather the bed of his kind by ensuring that few civil servants, if any, ever lose their jobs as a result of government actions. To Sir Humphrey and his colleagues there is a right way of doing things - their way - and a wrong way, and that is the end of the matter. |

Twin Peaks "Thru the darkness of Future Past the magician longs to see one chants out between two worlds Fire - walk with me." Twin Peaks is a little town where things peacefull, but behind the woods in Twin Peaks, hides the evil.  Welcome to Twin Peaks. It's one of those picturesque rural towns that reminds you of time-honored American traditions, like peace and order and homemade cherry pie. Visitors tend to marvel over the magnificent Douglas firs and admire the breathtaking mountain scenery. Located in the Pacific Northwest, just five miles south of the Canadian border, Twin Peaks looks like a prosperous community of contented citizens devoted to their families. On the surface, at least, it's a bucolic life. But that's on the surface. World-renowned director David Lynch ("Eraserhead," "The Elephant Man," "Blue Velvet") brings his incomparable visual artistry to "Twin Peaks," a disturbing mystery about the life of a seemingly typical small town. Co-created with executive producer Mark Frost ("Hill Street Blues"), "Twin Peaks" presents an unsettling, sometimes darkly comic vision of the ominous unknown lurking beneath the commonplace and the everyday. The nude body of Laura Palmer, the high school homecoming queen, emerges from beneath the surface of a nearby lake. Her sensational murder sends shock waves through Twin Peaks, stripping away the veneer of respectable gentility to expose seething undercurrents of illicit passion, greed, jealousy and intrigue in a population of unusual characters. When another girl is found, viciously tortured but still alive, FBI agent Dale Cooper arrives in Twin Peaks to conduct an investigation. Young and sardonic, Agent Cooper has an almost prescient understanding of human motives and his own quirky but very methodical approach to doing business. He is also keeping whatever information he has about the crimes to himself. Cooper forms an immediate rapport with Sheriff Harry S. Truman, who has grown up in the community. Harry is not much of a talker, but he knows more about the people in that town than they probably know about themselves. Their search for the murderer leads to one shattering discovery: No one is quite what they appear to be and almost everyone has something to hide. Cooper and Truman's probe into Laura's death uncovers many busy secrets in Twin Peaks. Was Laura leading a sordid double existence? Did she find out that her erstwhile boyfriend, Bobbie Briggs, was having an affair with a married woman? Why would well-respected businessmen scheme to take over the valuable Packard Sawmill property? Why is Catherine Martell so bitterly jealous of her brother's widow, the beautiful and imperious mill owner, Jocelyn Packard? Each revelation lays bare whole other worlds, as we delve deeper and deeper into the characters' fantasies, loves and obsessions. |
