I must be getting old, because this show is funny. Honest ,Sincere laughter..nothing overly cheap.
Does it stay the same through out or does it jump sharks and lose its execution?

I've watched every season, it's a great show. Nice small cast and everyone nails it.
Sometimes it's nice to watch a show that isn't overly stuffed character story-wise and soap opera illogical.

Really good show. Beautiful area.

I love that show! British humor is so much better than American for some reason.
I also think the British do casting based on talent more so than looks so that may be why.

Great show! There are some truly great British comedies out there, including this one.
Detectorists is the best comedy on TV right now, easily.
Moone Boy is one of my favorites as well.
IT crowd is pretty funny.
Yes minister is simply brilliant.
The Wrong Mans is hilarious and has movie-like production value.

Honestly I'm finding the current season to be the show at its best.

It has always been funny. Some of my first laughs were to Monty Python , Good Neighbors and whatever else PBS was showing. Forgot Fawlty Towers.
But, they have just as many clunkers as the US.
When you put together a list of the TOP British comedies of all time, they span about 40 years.

My mom watches this show on PBS. I find Doc to be funny when he lets people have it. Louisa is way too hot for him though.

I'm jumping in late here, but British TV is almost exclusively what I watch, though more drama than comedy. I definitely second Black Books from about 15 years ago, and of course the classic early 90's Jeeves and Wooster - a Wodehouse turn of phrase never loses the appeal.
As far as casting goes, that's really why I switched to Brit TV. Although I think they only have a pool of actors they rotate through everything, but performances are always top notch. Most of American TV just seems...plastic and photoshopped. The Brits mostly leave them to look like real people.
Anyway, my 2 cents. Enjoy the show.

It has gotten barely tolerable, maybe 5 minutes max.

It's always been funny.

Well, Fawlty Towers is the funniest show of all time. So I'm going to say a while.
