The thick of it should be higher. Car share at 3 :shocked:

[Firewire]

Diabolical

Car Share is rightly up there though

[MB.]

Where actually is Friday Night Dinner though

[MB.]

Also Nighty Night

Yeah everyone's trash in this country

[Cal.]

They're trash anyway

[Pete.]

Miranda and Twenty Twelve were robbed

[Shaun]

The correct top ten: The Office, Peep Show, Extras, Green Wing, The Thick of It, Psychoville, Gavin & Stacey, Getting On, Beautiful People and The Royle Family.

This is just British ones though... Parks & Recreation, 30 Rock, Broad City, Arrested Development, Futurama and American Dad! would all make the top 20 easily overall.

Always thought Black Books was 90s :shrug: And as much as I'm indifferent to Mrs Brown's, it's 200000000x funnier than Miranda which is the biggest disgrace to modern British comedy.

[Denver]

no Royle Family?

Agree with Psychoville. Surprised The League of Gentlemen was not in the top twenty.

[Alf]

As a connoisseur of the British sitcom, I find it disgraceful that Still Game isn't on that list.

I'm sure the Scottish member's who have seen it will agree.


Regarding The Royle Family and The League of Gentlemen, although they both did air in the 21st century, they both started in the 1990s, and looking at this list, it looks like sitcoms that began in the 21st century.

I agree that Psychoville should be in there, and other notable absentees from that list include Saxondale, The Mighty Boosh and Early Doors.


My top ten of the 21st century

1 Still Game
2 Peep Show
3 Early Doors
4 The Office
5 Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights
6 The Thick of It
7 The Mighty Boosh
8 Saxondale
9 Psychoville
10 Gavin and Stacey

I'd also like to put a mention in for 'Rev'

[lewis111]

Miranda is 7 places too low

[Amy Jade]

Mrs Brown's Boys is one of the worst programs ever.

[Alf]

'Toast of London' is another that should make the top 20

[Mokka]

Green Wing came on my Canadian Netflix this fall.. I have been watching it over the last couple of weeks... and I love it :flutter:

[Jamie89]

Mrs Browns Boys :umm2:

My top shows of those listed would be:

The IT Crowd

I'd also include:
League of Gentlemen
Royle Family

[Mokka]

I really should try to find Father Ted and watch sometime :think:

[EspeonBB]

Mrs Brown's Boys is one of the worst programs ever.

!

I've watched a few episodes and I don't get the popularity, I didn't think it was funny at all

[EspeonBB]

The Office and Outnumbered though :clap2:

[Niamh.]

I really should try to find Father Ted and watch sometime :think:

You should, it's my alltime favourite show and a young Graham Norton makes appearances throughout as Father Noel Furlong

I'd also include:
League of Gentlemen
Royle Family


They're both 20th century you fool.

Oh that ones good but my favourite Graham Norton episode is the very very dark caves one....so dark it's almost like being blind

[Jamie89]

Not me editing out Smack The Pony before anyone noticed because it's not a sitcom, only to get caught out on dates :shame: damn technicalities...
