favourite five:
- the office (uk)
- frasier
- summer heights high
- 30 rock
- green wing

worst five (that i've seen):
- that bbc3 thing that was like "Two Pints" but with teenagers... absolutely HORRIFIC. 2 pints was bad enough! Just googled and it was called 'Coming of Age'
- king of queens
- two and a half men
- citizen khan
- the big bang theory

and not a sitcom but The Kevin Bishop Show was terrible too

Ab Fab is the best by far, Benidorm is probably my least favourite out of all the popular/well known ones. Do not get the appeal at all, absolute garbage.

I saw a repeat of Allo Allo and thought it stands up.

Would have to think about the worst. I don't really watch things I don't like.
