I can go way back... So backward:
1- Friends
2- Men behaving badly (u.s version, simply love it)
3- Perfect strangers
4- Night Court
5- Happy Days
That was so long ago...

Totally agree with Plectrum about Kenny Everett - (though i remember i had mad nightmares about him chasing me as a vampire!!!) & Ally, Saved by the bell was wicked!!!!!!! Was up early every Sat morning to watch that!!!!!!!!

Married With Children
Although I caught a bit of an episode a couple of years ago and it was so not funny. Obviously a program that appealed to juvenile humour.
Ab Fab
I still watch Ab Fab now and then. I will never get over the Poor episode.
Keeping Up Appearances
I only started watching this when I discovered it on BBC America but now own the box set and find it hilarious.
Seinfeld

littlespooky
M*A*S*H*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still cringe when I hear the theme tune. I hated it with a passion. It has been so long since I have been subjected to a second of it but don’t actually remember it being a comedy. Was it?
ncurran said on June 28, 2006 08:10:
1. Chewin the fat
2. Fawlty Towers.
3. The Royle Family
4. Gimme Gimme Gimme
5. Only fools and horses
I detest ’Friends’...the most unfunny piece of tripe ever to be made. I really dont understand what people find funny about this....in fact american comedies in general are pretty rubbish. (though i do remember liking Rosanne years ago, and there is another one that escpaes me at the moment) I like comedies with a bit more irony and clever humour.

Would love to have Saved By The Bell on DVD, lots of old memories from watching that!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 4, 2006 06:47:
You mentioning Saved By The Bell has reminded me of Heartbreak High. I used to love that programme, and had a massive crush on Jodie!!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 4, 2006 07:40:
Yeah, that’s right Rob. I used to love it. But only saw the first series, and half of the 2nd. I’ve even got the soundtrack somewhere. Not very good, and if I remember rightly, I only brought it for the 2 songs that Jodie sung!
ally77 said on July 4, 2006 08:46:
Used to watch some of Heartbreak High, but never really got into it...
Anyone remember Shortland Street?
Vixzter said on April 25, 2006 18:31:
1. Black Adder
2. Red Drawf
3. Ab Fab
4. Allo Allo
5. French & Saunders ( when they were funny, not the last series though!)
