Dont know about best but in about 1974 the BBC filmed an episode where they blew up a house on our street that was being demolished to make way for a tower block.
The sitcom was 'some mothers do ave em, the street was Argyll St !

No wonder they're all members of the 12 inch club. Bottom comes close, have you seen they are making a new series?

Oh no, first I had seen that :(

Arguably the best bit in the entire series is RR bursting through the pub doors and declaring 'STAND BACK BIRDS IT'S THE HAMMERSMITH HARDMEN' Has be in stitches every single time.

Best ever? :think:

Nope, I cannot choose between Father Ted, Porridge, Fawlty Towers and The Office.

American? :think:

Taxi, Third Rock From The Sun (1st and 2nd series) My Name Is Earl (Early series)

The answer is Father Ted :greensmile:

Blackadder, no contest.

Only Fools and Horses is my all time favourite, one that hasn't been mentioned is the Royale Family (I'm not afraid to admit to watching it

) also One Foot in the Grave is hilarious which I've actually been watching recently.

One thats been mentioned a few times on here is the Office, I've never seen it but I'm not exactly a Ricky Gervais fan so I might give that a miss.

Mrs Brown's Boys is brilliant, it has my favourite comedy that is still running. What makes it even funnier for me is that its an exagurated version of my Irish Grandmother :lol:

Aside from the first series, which I actually find a bit naff in retrospect - certainly compared to the three superb series that followed, anyway. (I've got the box set.)

I'm not sure I'd count it as my favourite ever, but how about throwing Red Dwarf into the mix?

Modern Family is a current fave. Rewards repeated viewings.

"The Good Life"

"The Likely Lads"

"Fools & Horses"

"The Royle Family"

"Porridge"

"Open All Hours"

"Yes, Minister"

"Some Mothers Do 'ave Them"

"Fawlty Towers"

"Dad's Army"

"Gavin & Stacey"

Indeed we have been blessed with great writing AND great acting - all on simple ideas

I'm sure I have missed some other quality nominations

Keep the Faith

I'm Alan Partridge is up there for me

Flight of the Conchords too (for international comedies).

Phoenix Nights is also an absolute fave too. The acting and comedy timing is incredible.

I also love Dad's Army too. It's hilarious with some really lovable characters.

The Vicar of Dibley too - again, great characters and very English.
