    2. THE INBETWEENERS

    The original UK series, not the American remake. Running for three seasons and 18 episodes on Britain’s E4, The Inbetweeners’ complete run is available on DVD, and you owe it to yourself to watch.

    Following four friends as they navigate high school, it’s loaded with so much cringe-inducing humor that it makes "Freaks & Geeks" look like a well-adjusted class president by comparison. No less than "The Office" creator Ricky Gervais is a fan, and the spin-off movie based on the series became the highest grossing comedy in the UK. Great stuff you can power through in a day.
