British:Ab Fab (until the end of series 3. Forget it, after that)
Father Ted
Fawlty Towers
I actually thought the last few episodes of Series 4 and almost all of Series 5 were just as good as Series 1-3, especially Cold Turkey (probably my favourite of them all) :eek:
Not a sitcom per se, although the situation was mostly a ( fake) building site in Germany, Auf Wiedersehen Pet first series must rate as the best comedy drama of all time.
I'm going to go for Father Ted as this is consistently funny no matter how many times you watch it. Fawlty Towers was great, but I think it's probably aged more than some other comedies have.
Not in any particular order (apologies if any of these aren't sitcoms):
Blackadder (series 2-4)
Red Dwarf (earlier series')
Ab Fab (earlier series')
Miranda
Phoenix Nights
Goodnight Sweetheart
Birds of a Feather
The IT Crowd
Flight of the Conchords
One Foot in the Grave
The Good Life
My Family
Does anyone remember You Rang M'Lord? I used to love this when I was younger :o
Comments
you might find this hard to believe but John cleese actually rates that as one of the best episodes.
I liked her family! I assumed the accents were a joke...
Blackadder
Bottom
Black Books
Just shows that people aren't necessarily the best judges of their own work.
Absolutely Fabulous
Blackadder
Red Dwarf
Only Fools & Horses
Those are my top 5 (in no particular order) and I don't think they'll ever really be beaten.

MASH was brilliant (though they threw away any pretence at chronology),but I don't consider it a mere sitcom.
The final season of Roseanne was god awful shite. A shame, but they let sentimentality take over.
