What is the funniest sitcom?

[Niamh.]

Father Ted

[karezza]

1. Inbetweeners
2. Peep Show
3. The Office.

[CharlieO]

1. Miranda (i know its not on the list but its hilarious)
2. Inbetweeners
3. Peep show

[Josy]

Father Ted from that list.

I also like these ones though

Only Fools and Horses (Can't believe this wasn't on the list )
Still Game
The Royle Family

[GiRTh]

Frasier.

[Lee.]

There is no way I could choose 1 from that list.

If I had to narrow it down ever so slightly, it would be between;

Friends
Blackadder
Fawlty Towers
The Office
Father Ted

['Conor]

Friends >

oh i love Father Ted to

[Jords]

Friends.. barely watch any of them.

[Princess]

Friends from that and I love the American Office. An episode of Father Ted was filmed in my town,something involving a cinema?

[Scarlett.]

1. Red Dwarf
2. Blackadder
3. Father Ted
4. Friends
5. Scrubs

Four and five in no way come close to 1, 2 and 3 though

[Ramsay]

How I Met Your Mother


but its not on the list
booo

[Lee.]

Oh if we're allowed programmes not included in the list then I'm Alan Partridge.

Oh and Gavin and Stacey

[GiRTh]

Funny how Friends is running away with it on this list but on most lists by fans and critics it struggles to make the top 20. I wonder why that it?

I never ever tire of watching Friends.. I can watch them anytime and it still makes me laugh. There aren't a lot of programmes that I couldre-watch over and over again.

[Ramsay]

Yeah i can only do that with Friends,How I Met Your Mother and Father Ted

So why is it that you love it but so many people in the industry like writers, producers and critics reckon there are loads of better sitcoms.

I find all the love for Friends quite puzzling. It was ok and the fact that it was on so often must influence all the love for it. It was OK, patchy at best and there is a period from the fifth season to the seventh season that I think is actually quite poor. Some of those episode are virtually unwatchable and definitely not funny. I can remember watching most of them stone faced barely cracking a smile all the way thru. But it started strong and ended strong, had a pretty cast and was omnipresent on our screens. Sure fire hit.

Sorry, I forgot.

Apology accepted

[Shaun]

oh this is cruel. Can't pick between The Office and Frasier.

[Shaun]

and Friends...oh god. I apologise for ever saying I love the show - I think people are just fooled into loving it because it reminds them of all the nice, fuzzy, kitsch things about the 90s. The characterisation is terrible, the development worse, and aside from the first 2 series, it was crap.

roflmao @ Inbetweeners mentioned. Not even anywhere near the same league. And Friday Night Dinner...

I agree with you.

One of my favourites used to be 'Third Rock from the Sun', but there are quite a few of the better ones missing from the opening post.
