What TV comedy do you like?

[Kingfisher101]

I was in the audience at an episode of 'Sorry' - It was interesting to see what occurred when a retake happened etc. Of note there was a 'warm-up comedian' who was in another comedy at the time. He was dreadful and didn't get a single laugh in 5 minutes (I can remember his name but it wouldn't be fair to tell ). In desperation? after he had left the stage, Ronnie Corbett appeared and after less than 10 seconds the place was in uproar - the true class he displayed was apparent, he was in an entirely different league!

Ronnie Corbet had very little talent and just rode on the coattails of Ronnie Barker.

Would you say the same about David Jason?
Corbet wasn’t a great writer but was a very funny performer.
Not all comedians write their own stuff.

 

[Kingfisher101]

I'm not fussed about David Jason either. Corbet I didn't find funny at all, obviously though everyone's opinion is different.

I still love Allo Allo. I actually blame it (and Eurovision and the Renault ads) for my enduring love of France.

These days, I love Derry Girls (incredible TV) and the Mash Report, which can be not funny at all or brilliant.

Someone upthread said Friday Night Dinner....... The 'hinge oiling' episode was an absolute classic IMHO

There are lots of people who didn't like the Office!

I think I'm possibly in a smaller minority in finding Fawlty Towers unwatchable.

No accounting for taste.

I'm partly in agreement. For me Fawlty Towers does skirt with cringe making unwatchability, and I can't watch the "Germans" episode but I still find it mostly hilarious. The office, whilst brilliant, I can't watch at all as it goes way over the embarrising line that Fawlty sails very close to.

I know it’s not a comedy, but the awful Michael Macintyre is back with the Wheel.
It’s a totally pointless show with celebrities pretending to be excited riding on a very slow wheel.

Watching frasier this morning, fantastic stuff.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

The Big Bang Theory who knew that science could be such a source of humour
Although, if you knew someone like Sheldon, there'd probably be a raised flower-bed in the garden
The casting was excellent, almost a re-meet, from 'Roseanne', as Johnny Galecki (Leonard), Sara Gilbert (Leslie Winkle) & Laurie Metcalf (Mary Cooper) were all in it
Raj being selectively mute around women worked wonderfully, especially with Sheldons sister & his dream about Siri (an 'Aleaxa' type device)


Who Remembers this one?
Let The Blood Run Free
An Australian medical comedy, with Dr Good, Nurse Pam Sandwich, & Matron Dorothy Coniving-Bitch!!

Penny = ‘girl next door’
Bernadette = cute, but scary!
Was it in ‘Midsummer Nights Dream’, that Shakespeare wrote
“For she be small, she is fierce” (from memory)
Amy = my favourite

 

[Cletus Van Damme]

And with the superb Mark Heap.
He also steals the show in Friday Night Dinner.

Yes he's brilliant with his pet Alsatian that he's terrified of.
