And so ends series seven of Peep Show

Damn, another season of Peep Show done.

There were lots of laughs this year, and the Christmas episode wherein Mark's family visits, is one of the best episodes of the season, but it ended on a bittersweet note, with the boys about to part ways, Super Hans admitting he's addicted to crack, Mark realizing his son will probably grow up "thinking Jeff is his father", and Alan Johnson acting like a complete asshole and throwing years of sobriety out the window.

It sure felt like they've laid groundwork for an eighth series. I hope so. Peep Show is one of the best comedies ever made, up there with The Office (UK version, of course), Fawlty Towers, and Steptoe and Son.

If you haven't seen Peep Show, early seasons are out on DVD, and readily available in video rental shops if you don't want to buy.
