27 replies and one, just one, mentions Blackadder.
No wonder we have a Great British Menu cast that appears to think that anything remotely referencing a childhood menu or a benevolently smiling octogenarian is hilariously amusing. "On the Buses" is timeless comedy and yet Blackadder passes memory by? Oh bollocks. We're all dooooooooomed! |

1. Friends
2. Two And A Half Men (Charlie Sheen days) 3. South Park 4. Family Guy 5. Big Bang Theory Then again, does Celebrity Juice count as a comedy? If so that goes as number one  Edit: I've forgotten Vicar Of Dibley, that was great as well. As was the inbetweeners .. Ok new list: 1. Celebrity Juice (if it counts) 2. Friends 3. The Inbetweeners 4. The Big Bang Theory 5. Vicar of Dibley. It moves around depending on my mood

There are too many, I can't choose just five! I'd have 20 or more on my list! I love many of the ones already mentioned so I'm going to add some not mentioned.

BTW Dads Army is shockingly under mentioned in this thread but for me it is the most timeless comedy series of all. |

It's interesting that "On The Buses", "Open All Hours" and "The Vicar Of Dibley" have been mentioned, three British sitcoms that would have no trouble finding there way into my Top Five Least Favourite comedy programmes of all time.
