h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I saw the results of a survey like this in a magazine, and it just didn't seem right. For one thing they had Seinfeld, an incredibly overrated show, in it. I expect you people will be able to come up with something better. So what are your Top 10 best sit-coms?

Off the top of my head & in no particular order:

1. Steptoe & son
2. It ain't half hot mum
3. Butterflies
4. The Good Life
5. Dad's Army
6. Yes Minister
7. M*A*S*H (if you can call it a sit-com)
8. Only fools & horses
9. As time goes by
10. Red Dwarf
11. 2 point 4 children
12. All gas & gaiters


Sorry, I can't count!

blackadder

3)Sgt Bilko (aka the Phil Silvers show)
4)The simpsons

Blackadder
Red Dwarf (before Series 7, it was great... but now it's gone a little downhill...)
The Young Ones
My Family
One Foot In The Grave
Next Of Kin
Maid Marian And Her Merry Men (yes, I know it was a children's programme, but it is incredibly funny and inspired...)
Frasier
Father Ted
The Good Life (not necessarily one of the best... but it's one that I can find funny...)

Actually, swap the Good Life with:

Fawlty Towers

13) The Royle Family

& the Liver Birds - to prune it back to 12, take out 'All gas & gaiters' & 'As time goes by'

Does The Simpsons count? If so:

1) The Simpsons
2) Blackadder seasons 2-4
3) Father Ted
4) Knowing Me, Knowing You
5) Fawlty Towers
6) Friends
7) Frasier
8) I'm Alan Partridge

At my school, if you couldn't recite the entire script to Blackadder, you were going to be left out of a lot of conversations!

Have you all forgotten about the mighty Cheers ?

Does HHGTTG count as a sitcom?

If married with children isn't funny I don't know what is !

I think in the States, the king would have to be Seinfeld. Half of the current popular vernacular came from that show.
