Well then cheer yourself up by watching these shows, instead of looking at them on a list.

One of the best but it's not my absolute favourite.

This might sound ... weird, but Vicar of Dibley always made me feel sad and depressed and lonely.

Love these <3

For old sitcoms I'd add the George and Mildred universe, Jeeves and Wooster, Father Ted, and My Family

It was a good list otherwise

Do you remember a couple of Judy Dench sitcoms - A fine Romance and As Time goes by. Two gentle comedies but two of the best I've ever seen. I always thought it weird that people dont think of Dame Judy as a comedy actress but she was in two of my all time faves.

[Calderyon]

It is Always Sunny in Philadelphia is.

[Blue cat]

Bottom is the greatest.

[Baby Jane]

I have a massive soft spot for Gavin & Stacey.

And I love Two Pints of Lager!

[Brother Leon]

It isn’t Seinfield so no..

Still Game is fantastic, easilly the best British sitcom of this century.

I remember the theme tune to A Fine Romance, but never watched it, and don't have any plans too. As Time Goes by is ok, I like Geoffrey Palmer in most things I've seen him in. Written by Bob Larbey, who also wrote The Good Life and Ever decreasing circles.

[Glenn.]

It is of course the best.

[Matthew.]

yep

Yeah Larbey did those with John Esmonde and Please Sir too. I think these shows he did without Esmonde are just as good.

Never was a fan of Still Game. Just never really got into it.

I note you put Whatever happened to but not the original Likely Lads. I agree Whatever happened was better but I think the Original Likely Lads deserves a mention too. I remember watching a documentary where LaFrenais and Clement said they thought of a third incarnation of the show set in about 2010 where the scenario was reversed in that Bob had made then lost a fortune during the boom and then 2008 crash while Terry had been successfully scamming an insurance injury for years. As I recall hey had it planned but Rodney Bewes and James Bolam were opposed. It would have been a great series and obviously cant do it now with Bewes dying just last year.

I was gonna do Likely Lads/Whatever Happened ect. Whatever Happened was much superior, and there's only about 10 or 11 episodes remaining of the original series.

I wouldn't like to see Terry Successful, it wouldn't suit him, although he'd probably blow his success in one episode. Bolam hated Bewes in real life by all accounts, that may be a reason it didn't happen.

I wonder how their politics would have changed with their role reversal cuz it was always a big cause of their friction. Always been a big fan of these shows and I think it would have been probably the best incarnation and would have put the series nicely to bed.

Love George & Mildred. Father Ted is great. Not seen Jeeves and Wooster, but I think I should check it out and will add it to my to-watch list. My family isn't my cuppa.

I imagine Terry would have abandoned his labour roots, he definitely would be a leave voter, and probably on the Farage train.

Bob would be a remainer, probably a Blairite.

[LaLaLand]

I've always thought it was ****, even when it was on when I was a kid. Don't think I've ever watched a full episode.

[Tony Montana]

Damn the yes and Nowhere near polls are neck and neck. Seems we have a serious debate going on guys
