I agree with you Mark though I would say that I never found “The Office” amusing in any way, shape or form. I too would only list those you’ve picked though maybe in a different order. I find most TV comedy a complete waste of time at the moment. I think the funniest comedies are on the radio.

I think I’d put blackadder at the top by far. Also I agree that Father Ted would be up there, as well as another series on Channel 4 called Spaced. But then I thought Futurama was funnier than The Simpsons…….

Father Ted should definately be in there, it’s hilarious.

I’d also agree with Ab Fab, Dad’s Army and Some Mothers Do Ave Em. Blackadder II would be top of my list I think. The first series was rubbish, the third was pretty good and the fourth went back to being almost as bad as the first. But Blackadder II was genius.

I’d have to agree about Father Ted, it’d be in my top three. Even the repeats still make me cry with laughing.

What about Ab Fab? That’s my number one.

No Dad’s Army, Some Mothers Do Ave Em, The Goodies or Not the Nine O’clock News! I’ll bet my car, that the Office and Little Britain are only there as people’s memories are too bad to remember anything older.

My top 10:
In no particular order.

Coupling
Dad’s Army
League of Gentlemen
Arrested Development
Bottom
The Goodies
Blackadder
Frasier
2 Pints of Lager and a packet of crisps (even if they are chavs)
King of Queens.

You dont need to be Irish to get it, it was great. I just got all 3 series on DVD.

My list would be:

1. Bottom
2. Fawlty Towers
3. Little Britain
4. Father Ted
5. Alan Partridge
6. The Young Ones
7. Blackadder (preferred Goes Forth to the others, but they were all good. Except the last one that was only shown on Sky One, that was a bit shit.)
8. Brasseye
9. Fools and Horses (although Ive seen them all so many times its getting a bit boring now)
10. The Mighty Boosh

I never watched it.
I do recall that a guy I worked with said on the day that Dermot Morgan died “We should have a national mourning that would put Diana’s funeral to shame” :)

I would rank Father Ted quite high but then maybe you need to be Irish to really get it :wink:
