Premise: Blackadder stars Rowan Atkinson as various versions of Edmund Blackadder up through the ages, flanked by the ever-faithful Baldrick (and his never-changing underwear).
What Cam learned from this show: While sarcasm will not win you the day, it does make being bitter more satisfying.
Quote:
Baldrick: Something wrong, Mr. B.?
Edmund: Something's always wrong, Balders. The fact that I'm not a millionaire aristocrat with the sexual capacity of a rutting rhino is a constant nibble.
Premise: Three million years into deep space, Dave Lister wakes up as the only surviving human being -- stuck with a hologram of his bunkmate Arnold 'Judas' Rimmer, a creature who evolved from his pet cat, the senile ship computer and a mechanoid with a cleaning fetish.
What Cam learned from this show: Smeg is an appropriate swearword for any occasion.

NEWSREADER: Good evening. Here is the news on Friday, the 27th of Geldof. Archaeologists near Mount Sinai have discovered what is believed to be a missing page from the Bible. The page is currently being carbon dated in Bonn. If genuine it belongs at the beginning of the Bible and is believed to read "To my darling Candy. All characters portrayed within this book are fictitious and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental." The page has been universally condemned by church leaders.

Premise: Much silliness. It was a British sketch show called Monty Python's Flying Circus, which later led to several movies and a new style of humour.
What Cam learned from this show: Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition -- and it's not that easy to know what to expect in a Monty Python sketch, either. Long live randomness.
