Plus the early years of Are You Being Served? (Wedding bells, German Week, Hoorah for the Holidays, Big Brother, Coffee Morning,Forward Mr. Grainger, Fifty Years On), Fawlty Towers was a classic, though not much to laugh about today.

Mind Your Language would not pass the politically correct censors these days. https://youtu.be/vhd1IqNM3M8

1. Fawlty Towers
2. Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister
big gap
3. Are You Being Served?
4. Spy
5. Mr. Bean- could be higher but I have not seen this in a long time.

The Britcom I most want to see is Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em- stars my favorite singer Michael Crawford.

Sterling Holobyte · 01-31-2018, 04:41 PM

1. Are you being served? (A classic, and great characters.)

2. Are you being served? Again! Or 'Grace And Favour' to you Brits. (I know this was panned by critics and quite a few AYBS? fans, but I liked it)

3. Father Ted. (Remember that bizarre "My Lovely Horse" music video dream?! LOL)

4. Good Neighbors. (A great concept! Trying to live a farm life among your suburban neighbors. ...This could be partly why I liked the scenario of AYBS?AGAIN! as well - People out of their usual element)
