Battle of the Sitcoms !

[Pubey]

Kay, it's ****. You're doomed.

agreed... dinnerladies is about as palatable as their food!

 

[seany t]

Oh Sh*t! we forgot Spaced, a crime against humanity not to include that!

The one that got away I fear. One day Channel 4 WILL repeat it. Then everyone will know its greatness...

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

I definitely said dinnerladies before S2TC's nomination I think.

Not on this thread though Kay

And TrueBlue .. I would've labelled Mighty Boosh as firstly a load of crap, but secondly as a sketch show, however the god wiki lists it as Sitcom so its in

Dear everyone,

PEEP SHOW, you fools!

that is all.

Yes, well if I'd have been allowed what I actually wanted which was blatantly obvious from Backpacking Shrimper's poll then I wouldn't be having it would I?

Besides which it's incredibly well written, and actually very funny, especially Julie Walters as Petula. It's also a great all round cast -

I think you'll find I did Lee, page 6 I think, just before Blues R Best.

Ok ... i've just re-read every word of this thread and apologies to OBL, she did indeed nominate before S2TC so is definately in .. there are a couple of people who i added after what they said on the other thread, the last one to email back will be out

:stunned: That's it, you're sacked!

Thank you, I'm glad you realised I was right! ;)

Aaargh! Another classic missed.

I'm going to take the step of reserving The Vicar of Dibley for OldBlueLady as i'm sure she'd be keen to join in on this, and she was the only one who selected it as her favourite in the other poll .. like wise i'll hold One Foot in the Grave for ORM

Forget this .. Genial Harry Grout takes The Vicar of Dibley :O (i heard he likes the bigger type of woman !!!)

If OBL wants The Vicar of Dibley then I'm more than happy to chose something else. It's the gentlemanly thing to do.

Thank you very much, I couldn't possibly though (unless that is, you've come up with a stonking great omission that you want instead!). You got it fair and square, at least this way there'll be both of us plugging it when it has it's battles!

 

[Uncle Leo]

Yeah and what a sad day for humanity that will be.

Rodney you plonker!

**** OFF!

I think OFAH has suffered from going on too long. If they'd ended when Del and Rodney became millionaires it would have been perfect, but they went on for far too long, to the point that I don't remember laughing once during one of the more recent Christmas specials.

Post corrected.

I agree, like the star wars prequels, those later OFAH episodes have been erased from my mind....

 

[Uncle Leo]

i can't believe My Family is in there... possible the worst thing ever to be on TV, and that's including anything with Vanessa Feltz in!

And if there's any justice it'll be pulverised in the first round. What a total pile of crap it is.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Post corrected.

Oh no you don't ;)

Not sure how long Lennard Pearce was in it as Grandad, but all the ones with him were ace.

May I take this opportunity to mention a truly superb American sitcom (and just for once that isn't an oxymoron) - Soap. I suspect that few on here will have watched it, but it mercilessly extracted the Michael from American soaps and was truly superb. Even more in its favour, it starred Billy Crystal.
