Can any of you recommend any recent (i.e. current or from the last year or two) French comedy TV shows? I don't care if they're from France/Canada/Belgium/wherever, as long as it's in French.
To give you an idea of what I like, I think Arrested Development, Peep Show, Californication and The Office (American version, first few seasons) are pretty good.

Thanks for any suggestions

There aren't any. The French don't do good comedy.

EDIT: I forgot Les Guignols de l'Info is the one shining light in the pit of despair which is French comedy. They had to copy Britain's Spitting Image, though.

'The Office' was remade into french, called 'Le Bureau.' You can download the torrents online. There was only 1 series made, but that's 6 episodes worth watching.

The french Candian version 'La Job' is more difficult to find.

Bon journee.

Covergirl- The adventures of three Montreal drag queens, their straight manager, his girlfriend, and their American psychiatrist.

Rumeurs- Life working at a magazine (newspaper?) company.

De Pere en Flic- Not a T.V show, but still a funny movie about a father and son working for the Quebec Police who have to go undercover at a 'Father/Son' retreat to save someone from a gang.
