sit coms from back in the day.

I loved the Mary Tyler Moore Show and then subsequently the Dick Van Dyke show. Always liked Dick Van Dyke and he is a wonderful dancer too. That was the early 60's. In the late 60's there was a spoof spy series (the name of which I can't remember) where the protagonist used to enter a phone booth to get into secret headquarters. Taxi and Mash were also absolute classics.

For British sitcoms I loved most of those already mentioned but would like to add Tony Hancock and Sid James and Are you Being Served.

Flappergirl I loved Mary Tyler More including the theme tune

I really liked Dad’s army and Rising Damp. I also liked an American sitcom called Rhoda, was a spin off from The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Was a sitcom called Just Good Friends in the early 80s, I loved it, especially because a very good looking Paul Nicholas was in it.

Used to love Rhoda as well

I’ve got Mum here with me tonight and just asked her about old series, she says Rag Trade, something called Bootsie And Snudge? Also Hancocks Half Hour and one she can’t remember the name of but says he looked like Harry Hill a bit and was a gentle comedy🧐😁and lived on Acacia Avenue.

Harry Worth?

As time goes by was good, and also the one with Paul Nicols in, I think his name was.
He had jilted his girlfriend st the altar, but they still loved each other..

Just Good Friends - Vince and Penny. I loved that.

Harry Worth?

She says yes that’s him! Well remembered. Another name I will have to google😁

I'm glad I was of use Oreo 😊 I remember watching his show and enjoying it. It was gently anarchic

I wonder if any of those old shows are available in any form to buy?

The Cuckoo Waltz, George and Mildred.

Some of these are still on tv!!

Harry Worth?

I remember Harry Worth and the trick he did by standing beside a mirrored window and raising one leg so it looked as if two legs were off the floor.

I liked Duty Free, and a John Thaw/Nicholas Lyndhurst comedy, Home to Roost. Also Just Good Friends and A Fine Romance.

I haven't tried to find them to watch them, though, because so often it is a disappointment watching an old comedy series, because it can seem dated.

I think George and Mildred was an off shoot of Man About the House.

Was more recent but I loved Keeping up Appearences.

I like this thread. I had forgotten about comedies like Rhoda and the Mary Tyler Moore Show. It's reminded me of other US comedies - like Taxi and Cheers. I also liked Roseanne, though it wasn't to everyone's taste, and I am not sure I would like it now.

I liked 'Soap' and 'Different strokes'.

My grandma used to come to our house to watch Harry Worth and Up Pompeii with Frankie Howerd as she didn't have a tv.
I liked Brass with Timothy West and Chance in a Million with Simon Callow and Brenda Blethyn, both from the 1980's.

Harry Worth lived a couple of roads away from me in the 60s. He used to come shopping in his Rolls Royce.

I think Nora Batty was in "Last of the Summer Wine"?

Cathy staff was on crossroads way before last of the summer wine

I think George and Mildred was an off shoot of Man About the House.

Yes and I think "Robin's Nest" was too.

Most of the above, but one of my all time favourites is still Frasier, a spin off from Cheers. I’m not usually a fan of America humour but when they do get it right it’s excellent. IMO obviously.

Golden girls for me.
I watched a couple of short clips on YouTube and they were really funny.

Does anyone remember "Rosie" about a young policeman? It starred Paul Greenwood who also wrote the theme tune. Paul is a friend of mine and a really lovely chap

When my sister joined the police I asked her which TV police show it was the most like. Her answer was Rosie!

Oh,I loved 'Angels'.
Is (or was) that a sitcom?
