Dad's army
Faulty towers
Young ones
Men behaving badly
Only fools and horses
Simpson
The office
Blackadder
Monty python

The ones i hate include:
Friends
Frazer
Banzi
The new series of big train (the last three programmes were dire).

Which ones do you like and hate?

Out of all the comedies you've mentioned, here's my one word opinions:

Dad's army - Good
Faulty towers - Brillianr
Young ones - Never seen it
Men behaving badly - great (although I've only ever seen two shows)
Only fools and horses - brilliant
Simpsons - Genius
The office - Great
Blackadder - Brilliant
Monty Python - Hilarious
Friends - Boring
Frazer - (See Friends)
Banzai - Genius
*and some more*
Red Dwarf - Quality
Shooting Stars - Genius
Never Mind the Buzzcocks - ok
They Think it's all Over - quality
Have I got news for you - quality
Keeping Up Appearances - good
Goodnight Sweetheart - good
Birds of a Feather - good
One Foot in the Grave - Genius
Family Guy - quality
Eastenders (not comedy, but funny things do happen) - good

Hello Jimmy Duck where have you been recently?

I saw most of series one before it was even shown on Channel 4!

I saw the best bits on clips on some show full of bits of different comedies on Channel 4 about half a year before.

when i first watched banzi i though this was great but after three or four episodes it just became the same old thing. Yeah it was a blinding idea but it was just to boring after you had seen it more than three programmes.

Understandable. Funny situation, and all that, and it made it's mark in history and all that, but it just doesnt do it for me because it's not funny, whereas allo allo was.

I suspose i find it funny because i'm interested in that period of history and that always has a diiferent spin on things, I think waht they were trying to say is that the home guard were like that aload of unfit old men but probaly not as stupid.

Banzai is pure genius!

Monty Python and Blackadder are classics and deserve respect, Dads army is just not funny.

Allo Allo was much better.

No i'm not on drug i just feel that after one banzi you've watched them all. Besides dad's army is just a classic and has to be respected.
