Hello Everyone ?

Inspired by lemongroves 'Three Favourite Films' thread (at which I failed miserably).

Please name your top three.
I'm going to have to have a good think. I'm only going to include UK ones in mine, but it's up to you of course!

Thank you as ever x

FYI, Schitt's Creek is Canadian, but just picked up by US Netflix on their last year of production.

We enjoyed these US shows:
Friends
Big Bang Theory (the first few seasons)
Everyone Loves Raymond

Another Canadian one to watch for is Kim's Convenience.

Also really enjoyed some recent repeats of Robin's Best.

I haven't watched TV for years and haven't had access to UK TV for over 40 years now but thanks to YouTube and presents of DVD's I do know a few.

The IT Crowd and Black Books were brilliant -, shame about Graham Linehan going all weird.

And Outnumbered was also excellent. The children were adorable but they have grown up so fast.

The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon I could lump together as one. Chuck Lorre has an amazing way of catching little bits of life and making them endearing, touching and so true.

The Windsors
Blackadder
Yes Minister
Upstart Crow
Father Ted
'Allo 'Allo
Fawlty Towers
Butterflies
To the Manor Born

The only US series I really loved was MASH. Nothing else has come close.

Porridge ,so clever and Ronnie Barker was brilliant and Blackadder made me laugh outloud.
