6. Modern Family

Based on the British sitcom And Jeffrey Makes Eleven.

The Emmy-winning American sitcom can trace its origins back to the hallowed British comedy And Jeffrey Makes Eleven, a show about an unconventional family consisting of eight parents and three children. Every member of the family was 45 years old. The show ran for one episode, which was 23 seconds long. It is generally considered one of the greatest programs in the history of British television.

The show returned briefly for an hour-long Christmas special titled “And Eight More Jeffries Make Nineteen,” in which the eight parents all become pregnant via Immaculate Conception and give virgin births at the same time to eight grown men named Jeffrey. They are all 45 years old.

It's a little "big-bottomed birds" but funny in places. Does also make me thank god that our series lengths aren't as fucking interminable as American ones, and yet you all think it's not just normal but desirable to have 365 24-hour long episodes in a season.

This, to be fair, is pretty much the pinnacle of British television:

Fans of the show also got to enjoy an hour-long Christmas special in which Santa Claus sits silently in the pub and gets drunk alone.

watching an ad on hulu for x-files and realizing that it was NINE seasons long....ugh...over 200 episodes. unreal.

Might need to make this my new desktop.

4. Cheers

The popular American sitcom was an adaptation of the British show If It’s Not Custard, It’s Mustard, which takes place entirely in a run-down London pub and is set during World War I and World War II at the same time. The name of the show is a popular British proverb that essentially means, “If it’s not one thing, then it’s a different thing that rhymes with the first thing.”

Yes, all deep into the history of my bones, Candle Fever has made my ancestors go bonkers and do Candle Mischief all throughout the black night of Hanukkah for centuries, and the movie Bonkers Candle Ancestors is about them.

ok i can't breathe

Every member of the family was 45 years old.

have always thought this about Mama's Family

that one is great

don't see it as mocking uk series lengths so much as bores who go on about how the british model is CLEARLY SUPERIOR to american seasons (because some hallowed piece of shit only ran for 12 eps + oblig xmas spesh)

I was surprised to learn that these xmas specials actually air on xmas day. But I guess that's what makes them special and not just an xmas themed ep.

I thought only the Office had an xmas special

Downton Abbey is most popular xmas special as far as I can tell

xp the gervais sitcoms were what I was thinking of when I said that but there are plenty of others

Hanukkah one has made me retract my multiple-authir theory

http://www.clickhole.com/article/6-actors-who-were-discovered-chance-1594

the first time I looked at this they had the harrison ford and jon hamm picures switched. I assumed it was on purpose, but I guess not since they fixed it. I think they should have just kept it.

also:

Steven Spielberg was attempting to shoot his first documentary, Jade Mysteries: Our Planet’s Jungles, when an unknown man carrying a whip ran on set, grabbing as many things as he could find and screaming, “These belong in a museum!” Spielberg saw something special, and spliced all his jungle footage together with the stranger’s screaming in order to transform Jade Mysteries into Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

seems crazy that Fawlty had no Xmas spesh.

fawlty is where the 12 eps meme originates but it is not a piece of shit it is a v good situation comedy but it would have been better if they'd made more eps but I guess they just weren't up to it

sorry for OT

the "12 eps and a christmas special" thing is just Gervais repeating over and over that what he does is the perfect way of doing things, and Americans listening to the narcissistic awareness-vortex

see the Talking Funny special where the four comics are talking about how long their sets are and how they work them up gradually in clubs in front of audiences and he's all "UGH how could you possibly go in front of people who won't think your jokes are good before you say them?" and Louis CK says "I do about an hour and a half" and Gervais goes "what??" and Rock says "I can go two hours if the crowd's good" and Gervais goes "are you mental?" and Seinfeld says "I guess I do about 70 minutes" and Gervais explodes "EXACTLY! Exactly! That's what I do, yes"

I can't watch those things, he's just unbearable. And doesn't know shit about comedy!

Sorry I'm preaching to the choir & shitting up thread I'll shut up

im sure their must be some thread where u all can talk about how many episodes there are in a season of tv shows

seems crazy that Fawlty had no Xmas spesh.

A couple of the episodes aren't that great - they have their moments, but.

2. What Christmas mantra do you say over and over every day at sundown until you are dismissed?

“Follow the star, retrieve the baby. Follow the star, retrieve the baby.”
“The breath of Donner sustains me; I breathe it every day.”
“No Enemy shall prosper; my Christmas is too strong.”
“I’m a good little Christmas slut; I live in a good little Christmas hut.”

I like that the Christmas one doesn't just feel like an attempt to exactly replicate the Hannukah one's vibe, it sort of has its own Christmasy feel to it.

"the omelet stuffed with Mentos" just made me lose my shit

yeah that
