Which is the one you like the best?

It has to be 'Fawlty Towers' I think.

Blackadder. But it's so hard to decided between that, The young ones, Vicar of dibley, Father Ted, The Goodies and.... Arghhhhhhh! I can't decided!

Mr. Bean is my fave Britcom.

Hottest Men alive:
Dale Midkiff

Lumpy: Did you go out for anything, Dud?

Dudley: Well, I went out for football, but I got my finger stepped on, so my mother made me quit.

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

[Eddie and Lumpy suppress laughter]

The ones I can't see anymore... like CHEF! I MISS CHEF!!!!! That show was one of my favorite of all time, and it's not on anymore!

And Goodnight, Sweetheart I miss too. I mean really, they had to take off MY FAVORITE SHOWS! *makes a face*

Ok, I'm gonna try a smilie here...

IT WORKED! BEAUTIOUS!

Keeping Up Appearances!!!!!!!! Hyacinth Bucket and Onslow rule!!!

"You forget, with me, contributions aren't deductible."

Absolutely, no questions asked, "Keeping Up Appearances" is the best Britcom ever! :-)

Monty Python was great when we first saw it back in the early 70s, although I wouldn't really classify it as a "Sitcom"... But KUA has a perfect cast, perfect writing, perfect everything!

While not a regular viewer of "Absolutely Fabulous", I do like the episodes that I've seen of that show...

I've tried to watch a few other Britcoms on PBS on weekends when they're on, but haven't been able to "get into" them as easilly as KUA...I mean, the first time I saw that show, I was hooked!

As one poster on another web site correctly pointed out, the writers of Cosby (which I don't like) and Seinfeld (which I love) would have to stand on their agents' shoulders in order to kiss the a**es of the writers of KUA..

Maybe you are not old enough , but my favs are Steptoe and Son and Dads Army ..

Definetely Keeping Up Appearances. Hyacinth is really funny.

Ab Fab and Keeping Up Appearances. Shows my mom and I watch and my dad has no clue what they're about http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

My all time favorite britcom is 'Allo 'Allo. The show ran for a number of years on the same premise and it was such a screwball comedy. Love the catchphrases such as "you stupid woman" and "Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once." I liked how they were always trying to find out what happened to the fallen madonna with the big boobies.

Miami 7, LA 7, and Hollywood 7!

errr...and for those of us that don't speak Gibberish?

In no particular order some of the britcoms that i enjoy are:

abfab
fawlty towers
2.4 children
are you being served
keeping mum
keeping up apearences
french and saunders
birds of a feather
the good life (aka good neighbours)
corination street
waiting for god
mr. bean
black adder
monty python
vicar of dibley
chef
darling buds of may ( with catherine zeta jones)

The Good Life
Waiting For God
The Young Ones
Keeping Up Appearances

As time goes by

My vote goes to Are You Being Served?

As Time Goes By

Good Lord! I'm surprised nobody's said Some Mothers Do Have 'Em! I got the boxed set a couple of years ago for Christmas and still crack up at Betty and Frank!

That, and Keeping Up Appearances were my favourites. My aunt used to be just like Hyacinth! LOL

Mr. Bean is my fave Britcom.


I love Mr. Bean!!

Red Dwarf

On The Buses is my favourite sitcom of all-time followed by Porridge,Only Fools And Horses and Steptoe And Son.

My all time favorites (so far).......

Are You Being Served?
Two's Company
Keeping Up Appearances
Only Fools and Horses

Red Dwarf

I spent 32 years of my life working in the biz as an extra and got to work on many of the top shows of the day..Not a star but still have great memories when a repeat pops up on the box....

Aitch,:wave:

Red Dwarf
The Young Ones
Spaced
AbFab
Father Ted

Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister

Red Dwarf

Ha! Love your name! lol I love Red Dwarf too and the books are excellent!

I also like Keeping up Appearances, Patricia Routledge (spelled wrong sorry) grew up near here (my husband is english)

Easily RISING DAMP for me. Hilarious! :lol:

Only Fools And Horses-Rodney,Del Boy and grandad were great.
Little Britian-Daffyd and Andy
Are You Being Served-Mr. Humphries
Young Ones
Graham Norton Show

Dad's Army, without a doubt!

Blackadder
Fawlty Towers
I'm Alan Partridge

Peep Show is easily the best of recent years. It's consistently great stuff.

RISING DAMP


A great choice. It's a superb show, Rossiter was a comedy genius. The original Reggie Perrin was top notch as well.

For me a tie between "Are You Being Served" and "Keeping up Appearances."

Mind Your Language is one of my favorites, 'Love Thy Neighbour' is a good one, it reminds me a lot of a UK version of All in the Family. It was so popular that Australia made their own spin off series (same actors) titled Love Thy Neighbour in Australia.

Does The Benny Hill Show count?

if not, Last of the Summer Wine or Dad's Army

Monthy Python
Mr Bean
and keeping up appearances..

I loved 60's brit movies as well..

Looking for a britcom circa 60s...middle-aged man with young girlfriend. I'm thinking Geoffrey Palmer, but can't see it mentioned anywhere.

Keeping Up Appearances! :D

Red Dwarf

are you being served?
allo allo
absolutley fabulous:) :)

1. Spaced
2. Black Books

Tough to narrow down to just one series. Here are my top faves:

Are You Being Served?
Keeping Up Apperances
Absolutely Fabulous
Mr.Bean
Vicar Of Dibley
Upper Hand
Fawlty Towers

Hello everyone, new here, I'm not into many British shows but I <3 Love Thy Neighbour!

It's a shame 7TWO here in Australia took it off before the series was through...

The best one I ever saw's Men Behaving Badly. By far. In fact, it might be the best sitcom I've ever seen that came from anyplace.

The Vicar of Dibley and Father Ted are up there, too.

Some of it's on Youtube.

"Absolutely Fabulous" and "Keeping Up Appearances" ;)

Doctor in the House :)

Fawlty Towers

honorable? mention Absolutely Fabulous

Are you Being Served, then

Keeping up Appearances


(A co-worker and I once had a boss we nicknamed "Captain Peacock" like in
Are you Being Served.)

put my vote in for Coupling, with Men Behaving Badly right there. Father Ted gets honorable mention.:lol:

No doubt it was "Are you being served"

I worked on many Brit shows in my 32 years in the biz and have many Favs..
Working with Richard Briers was a fun job..See Avatar...

In my opinion, British shows don't age as well as American ones. Hence the fact, all of my favorites are fairly recent.

In the last two decades on PBS, I have seen many many Britcoms. And , at least to some degree, I have enjoyed them all when viewing for the first time. But their I some that I notice myself watching over and over again or WISH I could see again. They are the following, in no particular order.

As Time Goes By
Waiting for God
Doc Martin
A Fine Romance
Last of the Summer Wine
To The Manor Born
Fawlty Towers

In 2013, I have seen all of the first season of Hebburn and The Cafe. Not sure if they will become my all time favs but I am definitely looking forward to next season.

The Good Life
Waiting For God
The Young Ones
Keeping Up Appearances

Since I last posted in this thread, I've added these to my favourites:

Dad's Army
It Ain't Half Hot Mum
Yes, Minister

Are You Being Served and Fawlty Towers. :lol:

The IT Crowd
I'm Alan Partridge
Mr Bean
Fawlty Towers
Black Books
Vicar of Dibley

AbFab

Good news for those nostalgic for the past:the tacky Birds of A Feather is making a comeback after fifteen lonesome years and the show has stood the test of time. Regular viewers will know the plot revolves around Essex sisters Sharon and Tracey whose husbands are doing time at Her Majesty's pleasure,leaving them the booty of a beautiful detached house in suburbia to grieve in comfort. Additional comedy emanates from their randy Jewess neighbour Dorian Green, who married for money but keeps a string of lovers in tow whilst her husband is away. I enclose a snippet for the uninitiated to get a flavour of the show. The next thing we need is Hillary Clinton back in the White House and it really will feel like good times have returned.http://metro.co.uk/2013/06/18/birds-of-a-feather-to-return-for-new-series-after-15-years-3845809/

I remember being around 10 (1972 or so) and watching a British sitcom with my mother It was about young interns. I'm thinking it was called Dr. in the House. But I'm not sure? And than a little later about a bus driver and his family? (1973-1974)?

Funny shows!!!

Hard to mention just one, but seeing as almost everyone else has mentioned more than one anyway, I'll do the same.

All-time favorite has got to be 'Allo 'Allo

But Are You Being Served, Mind Your Language, and Fawlty Towers are right up there too.

A pity no one's mentioned 'The Brittas Empire,' which I love too.

And also Coupling. Coupling is hilarious.

Oh and while not so funny as the others mentioned, I like 'To the Manor Born' too.

Peep Show & the IT Crowd

*sigh* I've watched way too much PBS over the years.

1. Red Dwarf
2. Are You Being Served
3. Are You Being Served, Again
4. Keeping Up Appearances
5. As Time Goes By

*sigh* I've watched way too much PBS over the years.

1. Red Dwarf
2. Are You Being Served
3. Are You Being Served, Again
4. Keeping Up Appearances
5. As Time Goes By
At the time I thought "Are You Being Served Again" or "Grace And Favour" as it was originally entitled would have been best left unmade,but given the dearth of comedy talent in the interim I hark back to that era as a nonpareil golden age..

To choose only one seems a cruel hoax , but I can list 10 right off my head that are some of my faves.

AB FAB
The Vicar of Dibley
To the manor born
Fawlty Towers
The young ones
Are you being served
Keeping up appearances
The Catherine Tate Show
Last of the Summer Wine
As time goes by

And more .......:talk: :lol: :talk: :happyface :wave:

The Catherine Tate Show

I love that show

Outnumbered is my fav

Are You Being Served? with Coupling a close second. I also fancy The Office.
