Black Books was a British comedy show set in the bookshop of acerbic misanthrope Bernard Black. Created by Dylan Moran and starring Moran, Bill Bailey, and Tasmin Greig the show revolves around their lives and often surreal antics.
Black (Moran) hates the world, including (especially) his customers, and hates doing just about anything the doesn't involve drinking or smoking. His shop assistant Manny (Bailey) and friend Fran (Greig) our often trying to get Bernard out of his shell and involved with the outside world, usually to disastrously hilarious effect.
The show went through 3 series in the UK and probably ranks in my top 10 or 20 favorite shows. The first two series' are available on DVD here in the US and the 3rd series is due out November 13th. To any who have not seen this show, I cannot recommend it enough. I got the DVDs at my local library, a great source of DVDs and music.
