Agree with a lot of the best choices, Still Game box set my favourite.
Miranda is as funny as Polio. |
|
By:
Most of the usual suspects so far but I'll give a shout to Hi De Hi, great characters and writing, especially the first 5 or 6 series.

Off the top of my head here's some of mine.BEST.Faulty Towers,Steptoe,Dads Army,Monty Python,Till death do us part,The Freddie star show from the early/mid 70s and the Office.I also liked It ain't half hot mum because it made me feel kinda warm.WORST.Bread.A comedy about dole scrongers in Liverpool written by a liverpool writer carla lane.She also wrote the dreadfull Liver birds.On the buses was ugly and depressing.LOVE thy neighbour was funny but for all the wrong reasons.Mind your language I seem to remember had a good theme and the very Wonderfully sexy Francoise Pascal but it was as comedy shows go pretty dire.Not purposely a comedy but I thought at the time that Brookside,because it was so terrible, was the funniest thing on TV.As regards Yankee shows,I like the old ones Bilko,Car 54,Munsters,etc

|
By:
Only fools-Porridge-Faulty Towers....I cant split them.....The Tracy Ullman show not that long ago was probably the unfunnyest Sketch Show i have ever seen in my life...And i used to think she was funny back in the day before she went to The States.

billy connolly in - billy(1992) US tv show - lead balloon.
pearl (1996) - same - they feed him lines that are just poor. not his own material. no edgy humour - safe pc writing. |
|
By:
The League Of Gentlemen is the best comedy/dark humour ive ever seen
Nighty Night was good as well Count Arthur Strong - the plane episode was just genius don't really like American Humour but theres a prog on early morning called Everyone Loves Raymond which is brilliant. |
|
By:
plane episode was hilarious.

As a kid,I loved Frankie Howerd in Up Pompeii.
|
|
By:
As a kid I also absolutely loved The Benny Hill Show.I don't believe he's been mentioned here yet.
|
|
By:
The Dick Emery show was also hilarious to my 10/11 year old self.
|
|
By:
Remembered another BAD UN,Bless this house,I loved the lovely sally Gleeson though and the sound of the doorbell in the theme.Never had a doorbell,always just a knocker.I think I'll buy one tomorrow.A Beautiful Chiming Doorbell.

best.
not in any particular order.. Only fools Dads' Army Porrige Bilko Till Death Ain't Half Hot Father Ted Young Ones worst... The Office The Office The Office... Watched one episode of the office to see what all the fuss was about. Don't think I managed even a smile throughout! I think it only appealed to office workers though? |
|
By:
It's quite strange how people can either love/like the office or hate/dislike it.I Loved It.
|
|
By:
Anybody have any love for Terry and June?
|
|
By:
culvin... I didn't hate The Office, like some, I just didn't see the funny side of it. Like I said, it probably appealed more to office workers who maybe had situations like that at work. Same goes for Auf Wiedersehen Pet which could possibly appeal more to contractors and building workers, situations they could relate to.
Terry and June |

Anyone remember Charlie Drake? I'm trying to think of his catch phrase.I just asked my father and as always,despite being 84 years young,he always on the ball and his answer was "Hello My Little Darlings"
|
|
By:
Charlie Drake....Well Done Culvin i forgot all about him...He was funny.
|
|
By:
Charlie Drake catch phrase was 'hello my darlings'.
|
|
By:
Apologies I didn't read the end of Culvin's sentence.
|
|
By:
lovegod.Your probably right about his catchphrase being Hello my darlings rather than Hello my Little Darlings.

Early Doors along with Fawlty Towers had only 12 episodes each and both will take some beating for sheer comedy excellence.
I've enjoyed a few US sitcoms over the years but my favourite has been Arrested Development. |

The young ones.
