Your favourite sitcom

[bluethrunthru]

Detectorists - just beautiful whimsical British comedy
The Thick of It - last chance to satirise British politics before it became a shitshow
Dads Army - just coz - perfect cast perfect scripts perfect everything

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Mrs Brown's Boys, Citizen Khan or My Family yet.

That’s because no one has started “shite sit coms’ thread yet

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Mrs Brown's Boys, Citizen Khan or My Family yet.

That lad who is Citizen Khan is funnier when he is hosting Lingo.

I loved Len Rossiter, so Rising Damp and Reggie Perrin did it for me.
US: Big Bang, brilliant writing and Jim Parsons as Sheldon was superbly nerdish.
The combination of great writing and comedy acting was always a sure fire winner. See also Return of the Likely Lads. Dick Clement, Ian la Frenais, James Bowlam.

Porridge was 100% Perfection just Superb in every way

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

Shelley - Hywel Bennett was brilliant.

Yes Minister/Prime Minister - Brilliant writing and the acting was ace.

I actually liked My Family. Particularly Janey!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BlueHammer85]

The Office (UK)

 

[1961_vintage]

Yes Minister/Prime Minister - Brilliant writing and the acting was ace.

Political satire and irony at its finest.

 

[East Level 2]

I'll add a shout for 'Allo 'Allo.

 

[mexico1970]

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Mrs Brown's Boys, Citizen Khan or My Family yet.

My Family wasn't too bad but the other two were proper shite.

 

[Lavinda Past]

That lad who is Citizen Khan is funnier when he is hosting Lingo.

Hahaha!

 

[JRockBlues]

Used to enjoy Drop the Dead Donkey back in the day.

I think there's about 200 episodes. I probably seen about 10 if that.

Some funny parts but the same scenarios and lines in most episodes

 

[Nevizade]

Fawlty Towers, Porridge, Blackadder, The Simpsons, Red Dwarf, Father Ted, Absolutely Fabulous, Friends, Bottom, South Park, The Royle Family, I'm Alan Partridge, The Office, Black Books, Phoenix Nights, IT Crowd, Extras, The Thick of It, Peep Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Inbetweeners, Parks and Rec, Fleabag, Derry Girls, Stath Lets Flats.

And then I don't know if you'd count them as sitcoms, but The League of Gentlemen and Green Wing.

I'll be honest though, I haven't watched a lot of the more recent American ones that everyone loves.

Derry Girls is a great shout. Put it off for ages, binged the first two series one evening in lockdown then did the same thing about a week later. Really watchable and captures the 90s (and Derry) brilliantly.

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Mrs Brown's Boys, Citizen Khan or My Family yet.

Unfortunately, they are not in the same league as this classic.
