Re: Favourite Sitcoms
Many of the same Hugh listed ... Fawlty Towers is right up there for me, as is Spaced and Father Ted. I'm really quite enjoying PhoneShop at the moment as well. It has something of the old-fashioned slapstick and farce about it that is often missing from a lot of modern so-called comedy.

Yes you do have a lot of favourites but it is so hard to pick a even a couple of them when there are so many great past, recent and present series.

Re: Favourite Sitcoms
My Family is well past its sell-by date, for example. Goodness only knows how it has kept going for so long ... a house full of characters that are still utterly two-dimensional after so many years on-screen is unforgivable, even in a sitcom. And its writers have still not twigged that if you derive all your comedy from making your characters irritating and unsympathetic, you make your entire programme irritating and unengaging.

It was an appalling show when it was first aired.It was racist,sexist,ageist,
homophobic and totally unfunny. I cringe at the reruns.

But you have to look at it and take it for what it is and thats with a pinch of salt as its not meant to offend anyone.
