Great post Terri haven't heard of This Country. I will have a look

Yes Minister and Reggie Perrin are two of my dad's favourites

Does anyone remember Brass?

And what about Boomers - I recently discovered it.
It's brilliant, with an amazing cast including June Whitfield and Alison Steadman.

Ditto to Yes Minister! One of the best ever.

And Outnumbered.

I don’t usually like American sitcoms either, whoever said it, but Schitt’s Creek is a bit different - at least the few episodes we’ve seen so far.

Interesting to hear different people's sense of humour. Some of the above I didn't find funny and I love Mrs Brown's Boys. Maybe because I'm from an Irish family and had a 'mammy'.

The Likely Lads and Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?

I think they have stood the test of time, although obviously look dated.

Many sitcoms we thought hilarious in the 60’s and 70’s now just don’t seem as funny, or not very PC.

Probably the LL’s fall into that category now though!

I didn’t watch the series, but I caught a tribute programme to the late Paul Ritter who appeared in Friday Night Dinner. The clips were hilarious not to mention the outtakes.
Could never see the funny side of Fools and Horses or Dad’s Army, but don’t start me on Mrs Browns Boys - the worst of all.

I absolutely love 'Friends'. I don't know how I missed it the first time round. It's on channel 5 and of course on you tube.

The Goodlife

The Royle Family
Citizen Smith

Oh sorry Fanny you said top three and there's me pulling out everything I've ever thought was funny from the recesses of the dim and not so distant past.

Oh I don't know, it depends on one's mood at the time, any of those really!

Outnumbered
Upstart Crow
The Good Life

And at least half a dozen others.

Fawlty Towers an absolute classic and they were wise enough to give the public just two series going out on a high leaving people clamouring for more.

Also loved The Office, I know it made a lot of people cringe but I thought it was dead funny
The Royle Family, Caroline Aherne was a brilliant writer, although nothing much happened, it was so well observed.

From America from a while back I loved Roseanne and the darkly comic, at times, Nurse Jackie. I didn't find Schitt's Creek remotely funny and gave up after a couple of episodes. Yes Friends at times, it was brilliant, but then I read they had about 70 script writers on it, so it should have been!

Of late, This Country made me laugh out loud. I also enjoyed Ruth Jones' Stella, better than Gavin and Stacey imo.

I need to give Friday Night Dinner a go, my close friend, we share the same sense of humour, she tells me it's brilliant.

I'm watching and quite liking Motherland at the moment, my husband thinks it's very unfunny although he likes Sharon Horgan who wrote it. We both found Catastrophe funny, albeit very rude at times

Same with Fleabag, quite rude! Phoebe Waller- Bridge has got a lot of mileage out of it, hadn't heard of her before. It's a bit overrated though, except for the hot priest, Andrew Scott, who is definitely not a bit overrated

I did find the original Alan Partridge funny, the one where his marriage breaks up and he has to go and live in a motel somewhere or other.

The original Absolutely Fabulous, I liked the pairing of Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, but like many it went off!

I'm sure I've forgotten some.

Thanks for another very good thread FannyCornforth.

Bread
Brush strokes
Butterflies
........coincidence that they all start with B

It’s quite hard to choose only three but I think these are my favourites

Miranda
Absolutely Fabulous
Outnumbered

Yes Minister
Yes Prime Minister
Thick of it

Upstart Crow
The office U S version
The Royals

Yes - I'd class Black Adder as a sitcom
It's just got an unusual 'sit'

There's so many different types too.

I love To the Manor Born, for example, in a cosy comfort type of way, but don't find it funny as such.

I love late seventies early eighties Sunday evening TV. It reminds me of watching stuff with my Mom and Nan. All Creatures Great & Small is another one.
I'm going wildly off topic again!

Ever decreasing circles
The office
Blackadder
It's sometimes hard to know which is a sitcom! Is blackadder a sit com?
