Special mention to:

Kath & Kim

Arrested Development

Only Fools and Horses

[Electric ~soul~]

Can't argue with 3-6. Never really watched any of the others, except a bit of Father Ted.

 

I'd find room for the Office, and Men Behaving Badly was great at its peak (Series 3-5).

 

I used to own every episode of Only Fools And Horses. And then, six years ago, Thornsy borrowed one of the vids.

[Bluerat]

True I should have found room for the office.

Also Peep show and Nighty night (not seen series 2 yet).

I might have to do a top 20 and jig them about a bit, I knew i would forget a hat-full.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Can't argue with too much of that!

 

Father Ted is a classic Zeal.

 

I think I'd go for (in no order)

 

Father Ted

World of Pub

Young Ones

New Statesman

Still Game

15 Stories High

Fawlty Towers

Day Today

Alan Partridge

Only Fools and Horses

The Office

 

oh yeah and My Family <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Bluerat]

I definately need a re-think, had forgotten about alan partridge the young ones and Black Adder, a top 20 will have to be done.

[Hardings Minion]

What about 'Game On'?

[Hardings Minion]

and 'Bottom'.

[Bluerat]

not good enough i'm afraid Funny as they were hardley top 20 material, although Samantha janus certainly had something going for her.

[Zagreus]

I reckon something like this for me:

 

Rising Damp

One Foot in the Grave

Royal Family

Fawlty Towers

Porridge

Father Ted

Men Behaving Badly

Phoenix Nights

Red Dwarf

Only Fools and Horses

 

I'd would have the league of gentlemen in too, but not sure if that's a sitcom really! Just remembered the Detectives with Jasper carrot and Robert Powell. Especially that episode where they were trying to name all the different football teams <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Rob_the_Saint]

Blackadder is a clasic, defo top ten.

 

Just Good Friends was also one of my favourites.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Little Quiz for you, somebody who has played cricket for EFM has had a bit of Samantha Janus!

 

Forgot about League of Gentleman and The Detectives, both quality!

 

Hardings Minion thinks Jim Davidson is funny though <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Suprised 'Home James' isn't in there <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Zagreus]

For all things sit-com:

 

British sitcom site

[Hardings Minion]

That was Rubbish. Even I admit that!

 

An EFM Member & Sam Janus, do tell!!....

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Not really a member as such, just the one game of cricket, it was of course Rich Abdou

[Bluerat]

And an excellent spinner he was too, did samantha ever get to see his googlies.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I don't think he managed to venture south, it was merely a tounge pie, I'm sure he tried though!

[gertcha EFM]

I used to love The Upper Hand and On The Up.

 

Also worth a mention is The Good Life and Ever Decreasing Circles. Duty Free was well funny, as was Fresh Fields.

 

Speaking of Samantha Janus, I thought Babes in the Wood was her best work.

[Bluerat]

you are a comedy purist.

[gertcha EFM]

I thank you. I'm the Andy Jacobs of this board.

 

I forgot to add Keeping up Apperances to my list.

[Bluerat]

dont forget about the vicar of dibley.
