Keeping Up Appearances .....shoot anyone involved in that nonsense

Bread ......unfunny scouse cobblers

Porridge ......top stuff

Two Ronnie's........could drag on but had their moments , mastermind and hardware shop being the best

Dear John's a good shout. Rachel Bell's line "were there any sexual problems" always got a laugh. "it ain't half hot mum" was great but not PC to show these days.

I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, Car 54, All in the Family . . . so many.

This is a thread that could last a very long time given that it revives so many happy memories. One that I have not see mentioned was the delightful Felicity Kendal in 'The Good Life.' In addition to her loveliness, that show was an interesting reflection of the fading hippy era of the 1960s and its clash with the conventional corporate and social lives of Margo and Jerry.

Arthur Askey. Whenever he showed up on the telly my sainted mother could be counted on to say, 'Oh, no, not Arthur bloody Askey.'

Dad's Army -best ever

Hi de Hi and Are You Being Served - had their moments

Allo Allo - excellent, often underrated

Blackadder- can't believe it's 40 years old, but still one of the best.

Somebody suggested to me 'Vlad's Army,' a sitcom about Putin's incompetent assault on Ukraine. Maybe. But that story is not yet over.

Me and My Girl
The Two of Us
Get Some In

All the greats.

One Foot in the Grave was alright. Ripping Yarns was on the iplayer recently; that still holds up.

It's dreary and depressing, with all those people squeezed into a little house, and Stan's romantic aspirations constantly foiled by a total lack of privacy. It's also worth remembering that Reg Varney was in his 50s when "Stan" was chasing all those young clippies.

Bob the bus conductor was a good looking hunk, wasn’t he, no wonder all the 18 & 19 year old stunners went for him

It was probably his excellent teeth and charming leer.

Even the theme tune plodded along in dull fashion giving the clue as to what was to come - God knows why, but it was a very popular show..

Bob Grant's life wasn't a happy one after On the Buses - playing that absurd character was as good as it got for him.
