US Sitcoms: let's have all the characters start off hating each other then have them become friends

UK Sitcoms: let's have all the characters start off hating each other then never change anything

As cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?

I'm a Brit who adores The Office and has fond memories of Blackadder. I was a bit too young to watch Blackadder Goes Forth when it aired, but I would still recommend it to anyone! That season is like six episodes, and the way it ends is moving. For a comedy show to deliver such a poignant ending is really respectfully done.
