name of american comedy series

[swedeheart]

Trying to recall the name of an American comedy(ish) series I used to watch maybe ten years ago. They may have been reruns. All I've got is the script was funny in a way that makes the laughter stick in your throat. The main character was a young man from a dysfunctional family. Every episode ended with the young man talking directly to us from a small room almost like a walk-in closet (or a tiny, padded cell...), summing things up.There was a light bulb hanging from the ceiling, no lampshade, and he would finish by turning that light out.

Anything?

Life with Derek?

Hi Swedeheart
I don't recall that series. Are you certain it was broadcast in UK?

Also, I have posted for you in Music. Something to cheer you up as I understand that things are difficult for you at the moment.

Hi dotty, no that doesn't seem to be it. "Mine" was a lot darker than what Life With Derek seems to have been, judging from a YouTube clip I just watched. Thanks anyway - oh and BTW I may forget teve series but I never forget my own mistakes ha ha... so a belated apology to you for calling something you did 'nasty' when I meant 'naughty'...! It's a long time ago and I've forgotten what it was, I just remember I used the wrong word... sorry. I should have said so at the time.

Ha ha ha John that's one of my absolute favourites! I love Monty Python and that song is soo funny, thank you so much. My, you are well informed!! BTW I was reminded of your "Finnish suicide" question a couple of weeks ago when I read an article about the discovery of an "aggressive gene" in Finnish men. Can't find the article now, damn. About the teve series no I'm not at all certain it was broadcast in the UK but even if it weren't there are still a few Americans about, so who knows, somebody might have the answer.

YES! TITUS! Thank you so much ABerrant - did you watch it?

Re Titus. I have never heard of that but it seems to be what you were asking about.

I am glad that you found the clip amusing. It does have a good chorus. Crank it up and annoy your neighbours.

I had been told on here that you had builders working on your home and that you might not be around as often as usual. I had not realised that it was as hard as it seems to be.
If you want to come on here to let off steam go ahead. I am sure that we can all benefit from being informed about the finer points of Swedish profanity and the failings of Swedish builders. I believe the filter on AB will not catch the foreign words. Also I would enjoy looking up their meanings.
