I think that I like sitcoms that remind me of people I know .
Ever Decreasing Circles is an example .
I lived next to a man with Richard Brier's character only he wasn't nearly as nice .
He drove me insane .

We have our own Hyacinth Bucket at church -only recently she's thawed out a great deal and has become pleasant and friendly.

Rising Damp was brilliant. I loved all the characters and lusted after Don Warrington
I've rewatched it recently.

The Rag Trade was fantastic .
We used to watch it just to hear Miriam Karlin 's raspy voice. I've known women just like her and oh so funny !

I think the Rag Trade was where Sheila Hancock started.

“Everybody out!” Was the cry. Sheila Hancock and I think Reginald ????

Yootha Joyce used to shout ‘Everbody out!’ ThevRag Trade was great.

Not quite a sitcom, but I’m watching Blott on the Landscape on Youtube. It’s very silly, almost a farce, but David Suchet is brilliant! Not a hint of Poirot in this!

The best sitcoms for me have to be Porridge, Dad’s Army, One Foot in the Grave and Fawlty Towers. All brilliantly written.
Also - the only American comedy I’ve ever liked - Home Improvement.
I’ve never understood Friends. Our daughter loved it. I wonder if it’s an age thing. 🤔

I agree and would add Father Ted and the Good life.

Lot's of goodies. I enjoyed Little Britain too but that's not so old.

"Everybody out!" was Miriam Karlin's catch phrase. I don't think Yootha Joyce was in The Rag Trade.

I used to like Birds Of A Feather and wish it would be repeated again on terrestrial television.
