i'm afraid i didn't get rising damp. Only ever seen a very few small clips really. Would have to watch a whole episode I think - I know everyone on here seems to rate it.

a good list Gallivanter apart from Blackadder. Maybe the first series belongs in the poor list but the other 3 were excellent.

only fools and horses

preparing to get shot down in flames here but i think i must be the only person in the country who didn't find it partcularly funny...one or two mildly amusing bits but certainly not deserving all the adulation it gets imho

ok fire away...

shergarburger...

you are not remotely alone. There are loads of people who seemingly never tire of telling us, no doubt in a w.anky student tone of voice.....

"Well actually I didn't think Only Fools and Horses was actually that funny actually".

You're not even the first person on this fking thread.

OFAH not perfect imo, when the women turned up it went a bit sh.tty, but still pretty damn good i think. Some of the best moments were grandad and uncle albert if you ask me.

Sitcom I never liked were:

The Good Life
Bread
Ever decreasing circles
Just good friends
Duty Free

I found all the rest humourous at some point.

Open all hours was very funny imo. No-one did a stammer quite like Ronnie.

"That'll be thir...thir...thir...thir....oh just gve us 20p" Magic :D

Fools and Horses lost a lot when the women were brought in on a permanent basis. Marlene was ok but not the other two. Albert was never as funny as Grandad and Rodney was better as a plonker than a computer expert. Del moved from a**ey**ney to a caricature. They should have stopped it when Grandad died.

about right there galivanter. but uncle albert was the equal of grandad i think

He loved to mock the afflicted to annoy the PC BBC people. Remember him in Clarence?

I can't believe no-one has mentioned The Royle Family.
Not even amusing, imo.

Thought Steptoe was good for its time and that was about it.

Early on Sunday (?) Morning I watched 3 back-to-back Steptoes and the acting by Harry H.Corbett and Wilf Brambell was immense.
They really were very funny..
