Most British comedies that I’ve seen have 6 or 7 episodes per series.
Some of my favorites that follow the rule …
The Black Adder
Red Dwarf
Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace
The Mighty Boosh (9 episodes in series 1)
A Bit of Fry and Laurie
Peep Show
That Mitchell and Webb Look
The Cleaner
Upstart Crow
Black Books
The IT Crowd
Fawlty Towers
Even Monty Python’s Flying Circus only had 13 episodes per series. The Carol Burnett Show, which ran in the US at the same time, had 24 to 30 episodes each season.
