    Red Dwarf
    Curb Your Enthusiasm
    Dad's Army

    1. Friends
    2. Two And A Half Men (Charlie Sheen days)
    3. South Park
    4. Family Guy
    5. Big Bang Theory

    We really wouldn't get on together!

    2 & 4 have never appealed enough for me to watch but the other three would probably be my 3 most detested and least funny programmes I've ever seen.

    Still, each to their own and all that.

    My forgotten or under represented five:

    1 Colin's Sandwich
    2 Clarence
    3 Police Squad
    4 Diff'rent Strokes
    5 Sorry

    Phoenix Nights and Drop The Dead Donkey far less obscure but still underrated.

    I can't make a list less than six, sorry. However there are only two shows that are my favourite throughout their run.

    They are (alphabetically):

    Friends (all 10 seasons)
    Golden Girls (all 7 seasons)

    The others are (alphabetically):

    The Big Bang Theory seasons 1-4 (Penny sleeps with Raj)
    Cheers seasons 1-5 (Diane leaves the show)
    Curb Your Enthusiasm seasons 1-6 (Larry and Cheryl split)
    Frasier seasons 1-9 (Daphne gets with Niles)
