What used to be funny when it was first on.....

[stony]

Red Dwarf

Was that funny the first time round?

It was utterly brilliant.

George & Mildred

Christ, remember that. Posh family next door with the specky kid.

Men behaving badly was funny at the time

Tristan wasn't it?

The posh family were Conservatives and George and his missus were Labour :-)

You know what. we used to watch that every night it was on but I can't remember one episode or night it was on. I'm guessing a Sunday night?

Weekend tv was brilliant back then, especially the evenings.

I never watch any comedy prog twice
Can't see the point when you know what is coming

Good Lord! Hopefully that's Clarkie bait.

Anyway, The Young Ones. Seen an episode about 18 months ago and it was utter shite.

I'm not clever enough to do a clarkie lol
I honestly only watch a comedy prog once,same as most films and books

...but is crap when you watch repeats years later.

I'll start with:

Morecambe and Wise
90% of Monty Pythons flying circus (TV programmes not films)

Nijinsky's Fetlocks.

On the Buses.

To think that programme had 20 million viewers in it's day beggars belief.

Taste's change but most early '70's sit-coms were fucking gash,Please Sir,Man About the House,The Lovers.
The Goodies,when I was a kid it was the funniest show on TV but I've rewatched it lately and it's embarrassing.

Which is why Fawlty Towers is, in my opinion, the Donald Bradman of British sit coms. Head and shoulders above anything else that's ever been screened. Timeless. Apart from a dodgy kipper tie here and an inappropriate rascist term there, it could have been written today and would still be the funniest thing ever on TV.

Back on topic. I can remember pissing myself at, It ain't Half Hot Mum, first time round.

At least I have the excuse that I was a child.
