I think the British show "Coupling" comes reasonably close...

If "Coupling" didn't quite achieve sitcom perfection, then "Fawlty Towers" certainly DID.

Never seen anything produced in the US that even came close on a continuing basis...

  Wouldn't call it "perfect," but the clip you posted looks quite good.

    It is well done, that video is short clips from many episodes. I think YT has a few episodes. DVD's are available in Region 2 only I think so you'd need to use a PC or region 0 player.

Agree on Fawlty Towers. Never tire of it. (nt) - reelsmith. 15:36:19 08/19/12 (0)

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
