Dear john with the late ralph bates.

Early Doors. But hey; he have Mrs Brown now so alls well
Probly why it's underrated like that other pinnacle of comedy Citizen Khoont.
can't remember the name, but it had a wonderful character called Uncle Mort in it
Early doors by a country mile.
Eddie (Pickles) and Joan, brilliant.

Uncle Mort was a character in the sitcom ' I Didn't Know You Cared '
Peter blake who played Kirk st moritz in dear john was the father of the killer Raoul Moat the guy who gazza took chicken to while the police were trying to get the guy to give himself up.
I remember being in stitches watching the very first episode of Ted, and then reading later somewhere that it took a while to catch on.
Early Doors is hardly underrated. Everybody who has ever seen it knows it is fantastic. Even the stage show they've done in the past year gets rave reviews
House Of Fools wasn't rated, with good reason, or that other one with Mr Victor Reeves in. It would seem that sitcom just isn't his thing.
Early Doors maybe appreciated by the cogniscenti (i.e. all us lot on here!) but I don't feel it got the attention that say The Royal Family or The Office got - maybe because the format wasn't as original.
Maybe, also, because it was an ensemble piece rather than having a 'star'.

I find myself strangely drawn to the Scottish sit-com Two Doors Down.
I usually find Scottish comedy pretty hopeless but Two Doors Down with Arabella Weir was so well done.
Understated and cringey at times and then outrageously funny at times.

TDD was very enjoyable. Doon's character was a bit too extreme though.
Still Game a shokkin omishun. Although I needed sub titles for some of it. 
It seems strange but sometimes I think that straight actors (don’t mean non-homosexual) do better in sit-com’s than do comics.
Colin's Sandwich with the late Mel Smith and Brian Rixes daughter.
Can't believe it only had one series.

'Married With Children', I absolutely loved that show but it hardly ever gets a mention.
I liked 'Dear John' as well and also 'Mind Your Language'.
"Married With Children"
I like that as well. Christina Applegate
.
It's no doubt far to non-PC to get a re-run, more's the pity!

I'm glad I'm not the only one J.C.! Al Bundy played by Ed O'Neill was pure comedy genius And yes, what red blooded male didn't have the hots for Cristina Applegate?
Ever Decreasing Circles, wasn't exactly ignored, but it would be in my top four sitcoms of all time (Alongside Fawlty Towers, The Office, and Father Ted), and given that it isn't generally talked about as being that high, means it's hugely underated.
The one with James Bolam was funny. Can`t mind the name of it. I`m H A P P Y was the theme tune.
Mac, it was "Only When I Laugh" James Bolam, Rodney Bewes, Richard Wilson were in it.
I got a comedy dvd for a present recently. I must admit that I can`t remember ever seeing it before. 70s comedy starring Leonard Rossiter called - If There Weren`t Any Blacks You`d Have To Invent Them!
Out of so many sit coms very few worth a mention. Mainly because in a series, only one or two memorable episodes, but a few were consistently well written.
Not Going Out.
Yes Minister.
The Good Life.
Love Thy Neighbour.
Men Behaving Badly.

Billy Liar 1973. Was on Sunday afternoons,remember having a giggle to it was a young kid
i seem to recall that "One Foot in the Grave" was hidden away very late on a Thursday? in it's early days. Seemingly underrated by it's own owners the Beeb
Ever Decreasing Circles with Richard Briers rarely gets a mention.
The two of us with Ricard Briers very rarely gets a mention KC
Man Down was a good one. Some good characters e.g. Nesta and Jo.
Think it was called 'The Other One' with Richard Briers (and Michael Gambon). I remember it being decent but have never seen it repeated.
Right you are Frodo-cheers, I thought it was clever comedy without being very funny
Pulling never gets a mention and was brilliant. Agree with Dear John, and a leftfield one I really enjoyed back in the day Was Bakersfield PD
i quite liked blandings, think they only made 2 short series, had a good cast but never caught on
Not sure if it's really underrated, but 'dem whippersnappers sure won't know it.
"The Odd Couple" with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman.
