My wife and I watched the entire "Yes, Minister" series, and are
about halfway through "Yes, Prime Minister".  If you can stand how
depressing the comment above really is, and can stand to be reminding
how little things have changed in nearly 2 decades[*],
they're a hilarious pair of shows. ;)

[*] The two series ran 1980-1984 and 1986-1988.
