Probably just me but the only thing I found Matt Berry funny in was IT Crowd. I've tried to watch him in other stuff but he just annoys me.

I'm definitely with you on the Mrs Brown's Boys, that is a pile of poop. I enjoyed Father Ted although some Irish friends said it was not a comedy, more of a documentary

Matey, how can you not like the Big Bang Theory? Sheldon is merely an exaggerated version of so-called quirks you'll see in some people. Doesn't mean they're Narcissistic though. Out of all of the characters, he's probably the most realistic, and I've noted they've adapted his behaviour slightly to refine it and make it more realistic, over time. Take the three times with knocking etc. thing. He never did that initially, and his lack of social grace and discomfort in such situations is again, whilst somewhat exaggerated, not actually unrealistic per se.
As someone once said to me, you can always tell the really smart people by the fact they wear slip on shoes. Brilliance in one or more areas usually comes at the cost of lacking in other, more mundane features/abilities. It's merely that some are quite adept at hiding/masking their so-called quirks whilst in company and some aren't. Take an introvert as a prime example. They'll usually come across as being one of the most friendly, sociable people you can imagine, even though it's totally against their nature and preference being in company, and it takes notable effort and energy to put on that mask. They do it well though, as a rule, if a tad clunkily on occasion.

Got the Al Murray series on dvd as well, some good characters in it like Julia Sawala as the barmaid and Ms bl00dy Jackson, never pulled a pint in her life and got the job as the manager, Terry the p!sshead and the old man. Class stuff, catchphrases galore, I was never confused, it has been a year etc.
