Which is the one you like the best?

japfles · 09-25-2001, 03:43 PM

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
Anthony Starke
Tim McGraw
Jonathan Crombie

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]

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 ..

FamilyTiesFan · 11-25-2001, 10:02 PM

Definetely Keeping Up Appearances. Hyacinth is really funny.

Liza · 11-25-2001, 10:24 PM

Ab Fab and Keeping Up Appearances. Shows my mom and I watch and my dad has no clue what they're about

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.

DSFOL · 11-30-2001, 09:34 PM

Miami 7, LA 7, and Hollywood 7!
