Best and worst sitcom?

[Friendly Neighbourhood Guitarist]

I love sitcoms but just want an avoid and don't avoid from you? Thanks

[bergclimber34]

Best, Porridge, Rising Damp, The Good life, in fact a lot 70s and 80s stuff,

Worst, most modern stuff, abd some of the Anerican stuff

[WrekinCrew]

Best UK - Yes (Prime) Minister
Best US - Curb Your Enthusiasm

[LRDefender]

O.P. - what age are you?

Comedy is subjective, for some Citizen Khan or Mrs Browns Boys or The Wright Way would be peak comedy. For others I Love Lucy or Hancocks Half Hour or Life With The Lyons is unbeatable.

Best - Miranda.
Worst - Fawlty Towers.

HTH.

Best ones no longer run/being produced?

Red Dwarf series 1-6 were the best for me.

On a darker side, League of Gentlemen and Nighty Night tickle my deviant funny bone.

I also really liked Friends despite a friend believing that it was a plot by the CIA to mind numb America.

I love a good sitcom. I am currently watching The Middle on Netflix. It’s very good and definitely worth a watch.

Fawlty Towers!?!?! Might not be to everyone's taste but you're publicly admitting that Mrs Brown's Boys, Citizen Khan, My Family etc are better than FT!

I can't believe this needs pointed out, but Blib was being sarcastic.

Here for God knows how long and my first parrot. I'm suitably ashamed. In my defence I'm so tired I hadn't even registered his Best....

[KillerHERTZ]

Best: Peepshow!

[Milkyway]

Best: Only Fools and Horses ,Porridge & Inbetweeners.
Worst: Mrs Brown's Boys... The novelty soon wore off.

Best: Blackadder, Father Ted.

Worst: Dunno really, I tend not to watch things I don't like, so hard to say.

Hard to find anything which beats Father Ted. Red Dwarf, Inbetweeners, Only Fools & Horses, Blackadder come close. Probably not a popular opinion on PH but I'd also give an honourable shout out to Vicar of Dibley. From the US side I do enjoy Friends and The Office.

Worst would have to be Mrs Brown's Boys (from the few minutes I've seen). I've also sat through a few episodes of Miranda and struggled to laugh much.

[Mr Creosote]

I won t say best, because as has already been said, comedy is subjective. But some of my favourites include:

Porridge
Blackadder
Yes Minster
Only Fools and Horses
One Foot in the Grave
I m Alan Partridge
Father Ted
The Office (the original)
Peep Show
The Thick of It
The Royle Family (excluding later specials)
Early Doors
The Simpsons (up to series 9-ish)
The Larry Sanders Show

Worst: I don t really watch sitcoms I don t like, but 10 minutes of Mrs Brown s Boys told me enough to know it s not my cup of tea.

[Tycho]

I'd also add Spaced to the best sitcoms.

[Radec]

Used to like Game On.

Although short skirted Samantha Janus might have had something to do with it.

[Milkyway]

Men Behaving Badly must be up there.

Game On... in the same mould .
(SJ ... & still is.)

NB: Not a big fan of American Comedy... but BBT probably their best export.
(Friends, meh... but definitely not the worst).
