Seinfeld does seem to have given rise to a lot of other "stand up comedian with his own show" things. For example Everybody Loves Raymond, which is better than Seinfeld by far.

As with the rest "in no particular order"

MASH
Sgt Bilko
The Simpsons
As time goes by.

Does the Simpsons qualify as a sitcom?
It hardly fits the bill of the 'situation' part of the title, does it?
I have to say, I don't think M*A*S*H* qualifies, either, sadly - as a film adaptation.

Where the ****'s all the Red Dwarf on this thread?

My 10:

1) Fawlty Towers
2) Friends
3) Red Dwarf
4) Frasier
5) Blackadder (all 4)
6) Porridge
7) 'Allo 'Allo
8) Cheers
9) Father Ted
10) Bottom (well, I'm a kid at heart...)

Can't put these in a favourite order...

Steptoe and Son
Nightingales
Big Jim and The Figaro Club
Porridge
Open All Hours
Yes Minister
The Good Life
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin
Only Fools and Horses
Father Ted

I'd put The Royle Family in there, but it's so close to some members of my own family that it doesn't seem like a sitcom, more a documentary

BLACK BOOKS - by gosh it's funny... Rolling around on the floor laughing... Still laughing... Yep, still laughing....

Black adder
MASH
Fawlty Towers
The Young Ones
Friends
Absolutely fabulous
I can't remember the name of it, but it was a british sitcom with Indian actors. I never saw the start of it, and I never have a TV guide. But my favourite skit was were the old couple went to the movies, saw Titanic and Laughed out loud...
Everybody loves Raymond.
Anything with Dawn French

Fawlty Towers
Blackadder
MASH

I think thats enough for now!!!

I would like to add knowing me, knowing you with Alan Partridge however thats more of a spoof-chat show!

Blackadder
Red Dwarf
Black Books
Spaced (what, has no-one else seen it?)
maybe League of Gentlemen but I never really watched it
Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister
sometimes AbFab but I never really watched it

But mostly Blackadder.

(I'm surprised that Friends hasn't made more lists, not that it made mine.)

Gif , moving to Roysten Vasey next week

Spaced is supurb...waiting patiently for series 3 (this is usually the point when someone tells me it was on ages ago and the last episode was last night and I've missed them all and they will never be released on dvd or video and I'm doomed never to see them again)

The Day Today isn't a sitcom but that didn't stop me staying up til stupid a clock on a work night to wet my knickers the other week.

The League of Gentlemen is v funny but I con't watch more than one episode in a month as it creeps me out.

Blackadder and the Goodlife are good but I have to admit that I'm not sure whether I truley find them funny or whether it was just that we had them on video as kids and used to watch them incessently (and learn to quote episodes)

Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister are geat...keep trying to catch the repeats on uk gold as I was too young to get the jokes first time round.

I'm kind of keen on Will and Grace at the moment too, but I'm not sure if it is a passing phase or not.

Red Dwarf is another video one...got done to death a bit but the occasional episode will still make me giggle

hmmm - I really regret spending so much time as a kid/teenager watching videos, it has seriously skewed my perspective

I always wonder why everyone always pans the 1st series of Blackadder.
In my opinion it's the best - at least on equal terms with Blackadder2 the other two series lost it slightly on these two I though.
I mean, how can you beat the Spanish Infanta or The Witchsmeller Pursuivant?!

Er, just at the moment, my list would look something like this:

1) SOAP
2) Frasier
3) The Simpsons
4) M*A*S*H
5) Will & Grace

How on Earth did I miss Only Fools & Horses off my list - insert at No. 1, please.

I might try collating these in a minute.
