Yay!

I'd have to say my fave is Blackadder III, because that's the first one I ever saw. You see, when I used to study theatre one of my acting teachers had shown us "Sense and Senility," the one where Prince George was trying to take lessons from the actors; not only was it relevant, but what had struck me was how much of the humor was based on things that actually happened in many facets of history.

At any rate, I didn't mean to analyze it so much, but the short answer to your question is "muse." *LOL*
