Porridge
Fawlty Towers
Rising Damp
Only Fools and Horses
Steptoe and Son
Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?
Blackadder
Dad's Army
I wish it were a top 6 so I could also put Porridge in. But WHTTLL has the better theme tune so in it goes! And no room for Only Fools and Horses either. This is hard.
Steptoe and Son
Hancock's Half Hour
Porridge
Phoenix Nights
Apart from Open All Hours replacing OFAH, spot on list.
Fawlty Towers
Porridge
One Foot In The Grave
Only Fools And Horses
Open All Hours
Keeping Up Appearances
Royle Family
The Good Life
so far the concensus seems to be that the 70s was the golden age of sitcoms.
personally,I disagree.
For me,the funniest sitcoms are from the nineties,but I suppose it all depends on your humour type.
Keep postin' 'em!

As far as British ones go,
1. Father Ted
2. Ideal, although it was showing the strain by the last series.
3. Man about the House.
4. George and Mildred.
5. Up Pompeii
If I had a top ten these would be there, Porridge, Fawlty Towers, Rising Damp, Reginald Perrin and series 2 and 3 of Blackadder.
As for American Fraiser and Dream on stand out for me. Really wish series 3 to 6 of Dream On would come to DVD.
