Absolutely Fabulous.
Father Ted.
Royle Family.
Red Dwarf.
Rising Damp.

There have been so many good sitcoms in the past I had to have another go.
The quality of TV nowadays is poor in comparison.

The first two series are untouchable IMO. Everything that followed was just a little repetitive and OTT (even by their standards).

Only fools and horses
Dads army
Fawlty towers
Bottom
Peep Show

That's for me in no order, hard to do it to 5, one thing for sure comedy is not what it use to be, woke/lefty ****s stifle comedy and creation in general.

For myself its got to be the following

1. Porridge
2. Only Fools and Horses.
3. Alan Partridge
4. Father Ted
5. Extras

Cradle to grave was excellent, pity Mr Kay wouldn't do a second series, Phoenix Nights, White Gold, Office, Early Doors are also a few of my Favorites along with Shamless and Brassic, Mammoth from the BBC is also very good.

I think I'll give cradle to grave another watch. I really enjoyed white gold, shame there wasn't more.

In no particular order:-

Bottom
Absolutely Fabulous
I'm Alan Partridge (and the one before)
Only Fools and Horses (has to be no.1 obviously)
Fawlty Towers
Men Behaving Badly

Five is tough - just behind (for me):-

One Foot in the Grave
The Office
Some Mothers'
Porridge
Black Adder (only the last two series for me)

Horses for Courses - never got Red Dwarf


None of these would ever see the light of day these days thanks to Woke.

I know the BBC edited out the "N" word from Fawlty Towers", but not aware of anything else.

Only fools is a prime example. Far too many bits to list Tbh. I have the dvd box set, comparing those to what's on TV is really noticeable. Some I get, other bits don't make sense at all
Are you sure?
