Maybe you don't like Rowan Atkinson. He is in both Blackadder,and Thin Blue Line. I am not a big fan of his,either,though he is funnier in the absurdly silly Mr Bean.
I like all of your favourites,and i would also add:
Steptoe & Son.
The Likely lads.
Only Fools And Horses.
Auf Wiedersein Pet. (sorry if the spelling is wrong)
Thanks for the additional ones, I'll have to check those out.
Are you been Served
The Vicar of Dibbly
Sandford and Son, All in the Family, Threes Company come from British sitcoms.
Who can forget Benny Hill. Remember Benny Hill here was released here in sindication and competed with shows such like Happy Days, All in the Family, M.A.S.H. Benny Hill was the only British TV being aired on regulat broadcast tv.
Also, did you ever get into Dr. Who. My dad used to watch that when I was young and it scared the living day lights out of me. Now I love it, cause it's too funny the stuff they came up w/.
Se ya later.
Tip
Dr Who,is 'ahead of his time',and as a kid,the 'Daleks' had me hiding behind the sofa,terrified of them.
I thought then,and i still think now,that it was the wonderful opening and closing music,that helped to excite the imagination.
For such a long running series,inevitably,many things would change,over time.
But not the music.
PS. Another sit-com you may like,is Some Mothers Do Ave Em.
I'll look for it. Thanks.
Dr Who I saw, but wasn't all that thrilled with it.
Are You Being Served, The Vicar of Dibley, My Hero, Keeping up Appearances
Favorite Scene from Keeping up Appearances:
Richard says to Hyacinth that he is walking funny due to a case of athletes foot. Hyacinth tells him that he is not to tell anyone that he has anything so common as the athletes foot. If anyone should ask, he will tell them he has THE GOUT!
Some Mothers Do Have Em
One Foot in the Grave
Is it any good?
