a nineties standout, Drop the Dead Donkey is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video with a 7/10 audience score that speaks for itself. 6 seasons is a commitment that pays off.

Drop the Dead Donkey does what great comedies rarely manage — it's actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A sitcom set in the offices of "GlobeLink News" after its acquisition by media mogul Sir Roysten Merchant. Led by editor George Dent, the staff of GlobeLink battle to maintain the company as a serious news organization against Sir Roysten's right-hand man, Gus Hedges, who wants to make the show more sensationalist and suppress stories that might harm Roysten's business empire. Neil Pearson and Victoria Wicks lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 6 seasons (1990–1998), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

The kind of show you put on in the background and find yourself actually paying attention to. 6 seasons in and it still earns every laugh.
