I just want to mention 'Parks and Recreation' on BBC 4 (Wednesdays at 10pm), which I've been enjoying lately.
The show is into its 5th season in America, but it only just starting showing here about 2 months ago.
It's kind of like 'The Office' (not surprising as the show's creators previously worked on the American version of the show), but set in the titular government department in the town of Pawnee. It relies less on awkwardness and conflict for humour than 'The Office', which is probably for the best, as it helps it keep its own identity rather than look like a poor pastiche.
My favourite character is probably intern April, played by Aubrey Plaza, who shows no interest in her job and looks like she'd rather be anywhere else. Finally, a character on TV I can relate to.
