I have been watching a lot of comedy shows recently (mainly box sets) and have got to say the shows from thr last century are miles better than the new ones we have today.
Anyway these are my top five of all time.
1) Only Fools and Horses
2) Friends
3) Fawlty Towers
4) Everybody Loves Raymond
5) Porridge
My first four were easy, however I put Porridge just ahead of one foot in the grave.
What are yours? British, American or any other nations shows.

2) Everything else.
Red dwarf
Frasier
Simpsons (first 10 years)
Only fools and horses
I would probably change the order depending on my mood but these ones come to mind straight away. I also wanted to include porridge and one foot in the grave, they would defiantly be in the top ten.
2) Father Ted
3) 30 Rock
4) dinnerladies
5) One Foot In The Grave

I have a soft spot for red dwarf too.

I just cant list them properly. It's so unfair!
Friends was an undeniable classic imo -
Ab fab for me too - a bit more hit and miss that one though
Thats 6. Oh black books, Meh, the list goes on..
If it makes you laugh, it's good and worthy of being on the list. Maybe I'm just easily happy. haha
For me, it would be easier to do a list on the worst comedies we've seen...

there's probably so many more I can't think of - don't think anything could beat Father Ted for me though.
Was that the series where they hypnotised a guy and tied him to a chair on top of a hill, and sent Irish dancers up and he was terrified? I've wanted to see that again for years!! but had no idea what it was called.
