Your favourite sitcom

[peter.evans]

Way, way ahead of Horses. Top of the pile, though; The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Absolutely brilliant.

I didn't get where I am today by not recognising a brilliant sitcom when I see one. Super. Great.

22 minutes late, leaves on line at Letchworth !

 

[peter.evans]

In no particular order; Hancock, Steptoe and Son, Dad's Army; the likely lads, Porridge ( possibly my no 1 ), Fawlty Towers, Rising Damp, Blackadder, Cheers,Alan Partridge, Early Doors

Mine are linked, in a way.

Yes there's all the usual classics, but as a kid, my first experience of being curious about psychology was 'Butterflies'; how an ignored housewife could flirt with an affair undercover and still keep a happy family. I'd wonder how she kept that together.

Then, of modern times, I really like 'Shrinking'. I think it's really underrated.

Also haven’t seen a mention of Selwyn Frogget

That's because only the pilot episode was remotely funny. It was a brilliant one-off show but Selwyn grew more tiresome by the minute in following episodes. The supporting cast was dire.

Loved Reggie's brother in law Jimmy (good name, that!), ex military man, always on the cadge for food. "Bit of a cock up on the catering front"!

Rising Damp.

I believe the Simpsons is regarded as an animated sitcom. Some of the first few series are right up there with all those others mentioned here.

 

[Don Karleone]

Spaced and Peep Show

Forgot about Spaced. Good shout.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

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

Never watched more than a few minutes of maybe 5 episodes. Never got it. My mate had all the box sets and loved it!

Brian: Hi hi! Aww, ain't he scrummy?
Colin: I'm on probation.
Jenny: Y'alright? I'm alright.

Apparently he has written a stage show and he's going to perform it with the original cast. I Liked 15 stories high with Sean Lock

Thanks for ruining my algorithm.

Jimmy was brilliant. Do you remember the spin off series in the mid 80s with Jimmy on Channel 4 Fairly Secret Army,which was quite funny ?

I don't, actually. Geoffrey Palmer was a great comic actor.

Can’t beat a few episodes of CYE …….when you need a laugh

Friends. Everyone has their comfort shows, and sitcoms really hold a special place. I’ve rewatched some series countless times and they never lose their charm. Lately, I’ve been catching a few classics on britbox, which has been a fun way to revisit old favorites. It’s amazing how those shows still feel so relevant.

Don't think many remember it, was on very late but was pretty funny.
