I know it is sacrilege to criticise ronnie barker, but open all hours wasn't really funny at all tbh.

The Good Life
Open All hours


I can't believe these two, they are genius.

I would vote for:
last of the summer wine
dads arms
steptoe and son

I know i'll get savaged for this but i don't find Morcambe and Wise funny at all.

Porridge was good though imo. Not proper laugh out loud in hysterics like fawlty towers or alan partridge, but still pretty good imo. Some great characters and stories and acting.

Open all hours was sh.ite though.

Dad's Army was brilliant imo.
A great cast with great characters. Some of the story lines were a bit daft and I'm not a fan of slapstick - stuff like jonesy falling in the river and that - just typical croft and perry sh.ite.

The actors made that series. Mainwaring, Wilson, Fraser, Walker, Godfrey all great characters superbly acted imo.

everything that croft/perry did after that was utter tripe

Duty Free was dreadful, but I guess not that popular. Hi de hi was rubbish too, but makes me laugh when I think of it now because my train of thought leads to Paul McShane's singing!

Bread----scouse **e

Terry and June----an advert for "Exit"
Man about the House---tosh
George and Mildred---- tripe
That new one with Boycie who moves to the countryside and plays at being a squire----- total pish, although his missus in it would get it.

and who can ever forget, "Father dear Father"---should all have been shot in the face.
