Is there a television show that doesn't have a gun in it?

You just have to forget that it's Graham Linehan who wrote that because it never quite hits the same when you realise who it was. It's the same with IT Crowd and Father Ted.

Didn't know the name, but knew the shows. What an unfortunate piece of shit he is.

damn. I'm gonna miss IT crowd in that case :/

I don't recall the last time I saw a gun on TV outside of an advertisement or the news, so I guess your mileage may vary.

Tons of 'em! Comedies, in particular, tend not to have guns. I watch a lot of UK light ent, particularly panel shows, which fit the bill.Then there's sci-fi (if you're cool with space guns), and shows set before guns were invented (other weapons may make appearances).
