Am I the only person in Britain who watches...

..."Feel The Force" and "Suburban Shootout"? And finds them both hilarious?

I literally do not know anyone else who watches either, let alone both. This is incredibly annoying when I feel the need to seek emotional solace and support through talking about them with other people. What does this say about my sense of humour? Perhaps some cyberspace support group is in order? Would I be the only member?

I watch "Feel the Force" absolutely hilarious, Michelle Gomez is just brilliant, after this and Green wing she should be on the screen a lot more.

Comedy fans can be forgiven for overlooking channel 5.

It's been said that all sitcoms are based on two formulas - the odd couple (Feel The Force) and the fish out of water (Joyce in Suburban Shootout). I think only the latter is original in content and well-cast with a preposterous plotline - women are as funny as men. Feel The Force is a rehash of other sitcoms like Thin Blue Line and lacks the sobriety and dark comedy of Suburban Shootout.

Thanks for your opinions folks - I feel better already!

Agree that Michelle Gomez is a comic genius - perhaps that makes me inclined to enjoyed "Feel The Force" more than I would otherwise, though her partner is excellent too. I would say its style is a kind of "postmodern slapstick" rather than the the absurd-yet-dark premise of "Suburban Shootout".
