21. "Father Ted"

One of the finest TV comedies ever made anywhere in the world. It aired on Channel 4 in the UK from 1995-1998, and is about 3 Irish priests banished to a remote island.

The entire 3 seasons are available "for free" on Amazon Prime (and YouTube, unofficially, I think).

A little bit risque, but in an incredibly insane way that will forever make you smile. We let our early teen watch (and for several years now). It's not exactly the Gilmore Girls, for sure.

Brilliant!
