White Rabbit wrote:Some of these shows truly need more airtime on British television. Among the ones I'm interested in/enjoyed watching, only Frasier is findable on a regular basis. Cheers and Seinfield used to be shown, but now I don't know where they've gone (does anyone?). Fortunately, I've got my favourite: Frasier.

Right now, it is. I've been watching it obsessively for a year... I did the same with Seinfeld the two preceding years...

I dig 'Black Books', 'Father Ted' and a few others, too, but Frasier and Seinfeld both turned into obsessions :wink:

:lol: That makes you sound really old, and I'm sure that's not the case!

M*A*S*H comes second on my list - watching it at the moment actually.


I'm pretty sure I'm the oldest person posting here! I'm not ancient but I have been around a while! :)

I've been parked in front of TV since I was but a little tyke and trust me, there have been zillions of sitcoms! I'm including of course, those that I watched in reruns and don't really remember in "first run" time! Dick Van Dyke is one example of that!

All the others I mentioned though I watched when they were first run.

If you think about it, networks put out numerous sitcoms in the fall and then midseason replacements and then summer replacements! That's A LOT of sitcoms!


Cat, you say you are pretty sure you're the oldest here. I remember shows (while they were first running) like Branded, Man From Uncle, Time Tunnel, Julia, Gentle Ben, Flipper, Time Tunnel, The Green Hornet, Laugh-In, etc. I was young, and the memories are vague but I remember them. Do you remember shows like that (not sitcoms admittedly) first hand? I don't want to come right out and ask you your age, but those shows - all within 5 years or so of each other, are the first shows I was first cognizant of and they put my age in the ball park.

Cheers is my favorite sitcom, Frasier second. Mash is a classic that I would like to become more acquainted with on DVD - although my mom loved the show I in my youth didn't have the patience to really watch it or anything else.
What fresh hell is this?

I remember Julia. In fact, it was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Flipper went off the air when I was 3 so I only recall that in re-runs. Gentle Ben...not sure if I watched that in first run or not. I would have been between 3-5 during it's initial run. (BTW, I just turned 44)

Laugh-In was a staple in our house though!

Mine is Frasier, so I voted Yes. Spin City and ER are also my favourites.
There are other favourite series but not sitcoms, from my childhood. For example the Shogun.

I voted no, mainly because with US sitcoms I also love Cheers (the original US one I adored), Taxi and MASH. There are WAY too many UK ones I love.

Blackadder 3 is my favourite.

I love it in Blackadder's Christmas Carol' when Blackadder goes "Humbug! Humbug! Humbug anyone?"

I love the bits where Blackadder puts his fist into the christmas stocking and gives it to Baldrick, in the shape of a smack in the face, and the bit where Mrs Cratchett asks if Blackadder has found her a little fowl (bird) and Blackadder answers that he has always found her foul and more than a little!
We'd better watch it or this will become a Blackadder thread :lol:!!

Hilarious. Maybe we should start a Blackadder thread on the off-topic discussion?

3. Frasier
4. My Hero (Again, the later episodes are crap)
5. The Vicar of Dibley

It has to be Blackadder for me. Very witty show by Richard Curtis, the perfect mix of hilarious historical gags and toilet humour!.

Id say Frasier comes in Third after Father Ted

Yes. Yes it is. There are very few other shows, let alone sitcoms, which even come close for me. In terms of the amount of emotional investment which I've made in the show, and the continuous joy which it keeps on bringing me year after year, I'd say that Frasier is pretty much untouchable.

My second favourite comedy show would be Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson's The Fast Show (a sketch show, though one about recurring characters), though Father Ted is also fantastic. The latter I give special props to for being one of those shows where only a very modest amount of episodes were ever made (the possibility of there being any future episodes was effectively squelched by the tragic death of Dermot Morgan in 1998), but where every single one of them is a classic in some way or other.

I would say yes, although there are a few others that come close: The Big Bang Theory, My Family, Peep Show & the earlier episodes of The Simpsons.

Based on all the TV shows I have seen SO FAR, yes it is.
It has to do with being up there quality-wise, but also for being the closest to my personal tastes. For example, there are TV shows I also like, but I relate to them less than I do to Frasier.

I actually have to say no, sorry.

My favorite sitcom is 'The Andy Griffith Show' - I have all the seasons on dvd, and.. watch it a little more than Frasier.

Frasier is my second favorite sitcom though. :)
Followed by.. Cheers, and Three's Company, then House M.D.

Favourite sitcom, have to admit Top Gear is my favourite show, closely followed by Have I Got News For You, the only two shows (bar the early morning news before work) that make an effort to watch

Frasier is on my "top 5" of my favourite sitcoms, but it isn't my favourite sitcom.

My top 5:

5 - According to Jim
4 - Frasier
3 - Seinfeld
2 - Friends
1 - Everybody Loves Raymond

(I don't know if I wrote this wrong, but I'm Portuguese, so I can't tell for sure that all of this is well written)

It's written perfectly fine - except, for some reason, Everybody Loves Raymond is listed as number 1 - which must be some mistake? ;)
