I'd like to note that, every time I'm asked this question, I give a different set of answers. I have trouble deciding my favourites.

Thank you for for comment! Good to hear from someone who shares a similar taste in TV shows, hope you enjoy those you haven't seen when you get around to watching them. I have not seen Fresh Meat though, I see Jack Whitehall there who is either hilarious or annoying to me (hoping for the former of course) but it looks worthy of a go! I have a good few English shows in the mix but I am always glad to add more to the list.
Any other potential shows that you would recommend?

Hey
The_GoldenGod_Reigns_Supreme
,
I'm sorry for the delay in response. I honestly made a list of other shows, but misplaced the list temporarily!!
I think
Fresh Meat (2011)
has similar humor to
The Inbetweeners (2008)
.
Joe Thomas
is a lead on both shows. I agree
Jack Whitehall
is either hilarious or annoying, and trust me he is both on
Fresh Meat (2011)
, but he's a favorite on the show, in my opinion!
I tend to be all over the place with shows, and what age range mostly view those shows. I'm not sure how you feel about
Skins (2007)
? It may be to kiddish for you lol
What about
Happy Endings (2011)
?
or
Drunk History (2013)
?
Derek (2012)
? -

I actually watching the first episode right now, I definitely like the tone. It a kind of similar feel to misfits (just from the first 10 minutes). It doesn't hurt that it has Joe Thomas in since he was really funny in The Inbetweeners, it also has Simon's one time love interest (from misfits) which is also cool to see. Jack Whitehall seems to be pretty funny too. But it is too early to say. good to see a few familiar faces. It has my interest already!
I have seen a little bit of Skins and it looked pretty good, I just need to sit down and get into it. I remember seeing Nicholas Hoult in it and that was a nice surprise.
I have seen a little bit of Happy Endings and Drunk History, both seemed fun but I didn't feel compelled to watch more. I'll watch them if I see them on TV but probably wouldn't go out of my way to watch a full season if I am being honest. Maybe if I did watch more I would appreciate it more though. I haven't seen any of Derek but that definitely is something that intrigues me, I am a fan of Ricky Gervais.
I am liking the music on Fresh Meat, I think I am going to get into this. Thanks again for the recommendation!

Think it might be smarter as some posters have done to break this down by dates or decades. Television evolved over time, for example in the 1950's -in no order
I Love Lucy 1951- set the standard for sit coms after it
What's My Line 1950- showed that live intellect can make a great game show
Beat The Clock 1950 -live with Bud Collyear and insane fun
Playhouse 90 - 1956- best live drama series ever, several episodes were remade as movies
Alfred Hitchcock Presents - 1955 -earliest example of anthology series
Honorable mentions
Jack Benny (1950) and Burns and Allen (1950)
Ozzie and Harriet (1952)- sort of a model for Dick Van Dyke(1961), Father Knows Best(1954), To Tell The Truth -(1956), Twilight Zone (1959), The Honeymooners (1955),
Funny how Hollywood projected an image of TV through the 1950's as a media to look your nose down at, yet by the end of the decade had produced several movies based upon television series episodes. Reminds me much of how the networks looked down their noses at FOX Television Network when it started, then started stealing the networks original ideas as fast as they could for their own shows, news.

There had been anthology series since the 1940s, so "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" wasn't the first. Actually, 1955 marked the beginning of the genres decline. Each year after that there were less on the air, and by 1960 the genre was pretty much extinct except for "The Twilight Zone".
