Blackadder (1983) (lemmy.world)

Four eras, four seasons, aired 1983-1989. Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Tony Robinson, and Rik Mayall. Hilarious and, in the end, famously poignant.

I re-watched recently. The first season is pretty bad. The familiar formula only really starts in the second season, and it’s comedy gold from there on.

First season is a dud

Isn't that basically nu-trek?

Soooo funny, love this show! The season with Hugh Laurie as the prince and Black Adder as the butler is my absolute favorite.
