"Best Ever Sitcom"

What a lot of biased rubbish. Ok the Top Ten were all good, well ok then good life is alright, but did anybody else notice that they are all bbc sitcom's?


One Situtional Comedy that i could not believe was not in the top 50! Was Teachers it is truely one of the best and deserved to be in the top 20.

Yeah was about to say the next thing from the Spaced team is the comedy horror Shaun of the Dead looks fantastic.

Go to www.empireonline.co.uk for the trailer.

I love it too.
It's just the most recent series was complete guff.
Old stuff = legendry.

And Spaced?
What a damn fine show indeed.
Anyone got info on a new series, I thought I heard something a while back.

And when Bill Bailey was on some chat show he said something about a new series of Black Books.
If they both come out at the same time, I may splurge.

My top five:


Fawlty Towers
Men Behaving Badly
Only Fools and Horses
Father Ted
Vicar of Dibley

blatantly.
it's practically arthouse comedy :)

Partridge is also class, i picked up both series for £15 a few days back :)
"DAN!... DAN!............. DAN! DAN!... DAAAAAAAAN!!!, he can't have seen me...... DAAAN!!!"

it's a good point that the mass-market stuff will clearly win though, simply through audience share rather than being a good show. A good example of this is "The Pub Landlord" by Al Murray. i got the dvd for christmas and i have to say i was a little disappointed with it. on the one hand it's mostly improvised and i respect the way he comes up with it all on the spot, but the character of the pub landlord is solely aimed at the lowest brow audience, people convinced england is still a world force, and that anything seperated by for than 6 feet of water is foreign land... your basic Sun reader. it's a shame really because is media continues to pander to this audience, they'll remain convinced that their outdated ideals still apply :(

woah, went a little off-topic there!
bottom line, Spaced rules!

Hmmm

Thank goodness Blackadder is in the top ten. Agree, Red Dwarf should have made it.

I don't know why they bother with this - Only Fools and Horses will probably win and I can't stand the programme.

A "situation comedy."

Men Behaving Badly - look up "sitcom" in a dictionary and there'll be a picture of this programme. It can't be anything other than a sitcom!

Red Dwarf - Last human alive on a spaceship light years away from Earth, again, a sitcom.

I'd say red dwarf or men behaving badly, but I'm not sure if either qualify as a sitcom - they're more of a comedy.

how do you define a sitcom? - you, at the back *points*
