Taken before his time.
Father ted is one of the best comedies ever, it would be great if it came back.
I was thinking Father Ted before I finished reading the set of rules... and thought... well, Father Ted officially ended. And then Dermot Morgan went on a dinner with friends and had a stroke.
I'm still watching Father Ted, or just have it running on some iDevice. It manages to make me laugh and smile and get over so many things that might just ruin my mood.
So, while I personally believe I wouldn't grow tired after a hundred Father Ted episodes, the series doesn't qualify since it was planned to be over by then. Had Dermot Morgan lived beyond getting it all in the can, his Father Ted character would have been a bit suicidal for not going to America, I hear. As sad as it all is, I think the cut and ending we got is, in a way, as close to perfection as possible.
I would use my magical über-Murdoch powers to resurrect Black Books. That's another one that still manages to make me grin and smile and get high on silliness alone. Manny and the little book of calm or "Grapes of Wrath" are still splendid fun.
