Taking an everyday thing like family life, working in a shop. ect. and writing a comedy series around that base. Smallville is NOT a situation comedy, far from it. That show is a drama/action series, boadering on science fiction because of Clark Kent's powers. Does SouthPark fit in this category Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 i've been a friends fan since it was first shown on british TV, many moons ago now. i've always loved it. i think its not as funny as it used to be but i still enjoy watching it. Faulty Towers is great, i watch it on UK Gold all the time. My family i try to watch whenever i get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonkH8er Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Fawlty Towers by far "Don't mention the war!" I'd have to say that's closely followed by "Just shoot me"... even though it's not on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinzon Posted June 17, 2003 Author Share Posted June 17, 2003 Who the hell added 'Sienfeld' to my poll?!? Alright, I know I said that nothing really annoys me, but people messing with my posts (even if you are a moderator, who ever you are) is probably the worst thing to do to me, ever! Just remember that for the future. AND FATHER TED IS NOT FUNNY!!! And calm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solbe M'ko Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Those choices are quite limited. Seinfeld is good. Towers is great. Friends isn't funny. Everybody loves Raymond was good for the first ew seasons, then they ran out of ideas. I used to watch Fresh Prince and I thought it was funny, but after watching every episode eight times, it gets old. My favorite "sitcoms" are the old Chaplin films, particularly "Modern Times". They aren't really "sicoms" in the current sense, but they were situational comedies. The guy was a genius; a comedic genius. Watch some of his stuff carefully and you'll see what I mean. The Flintstones were good for the first little bit, they were actually funny! Anyway, I live in Canada, and don't have cable TV, so I don't get much british comedy here. A local station used to show "Chef", though. It was pretty good. To go off topic, does anyone know the name of that film where Eric Idel is the king, but Rick Moranis thinks he's the king and Zeta Jones is in it? That show is hilarious, it shows on late night sometimes, but I never caught the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 You people suck. Not once have I heard mention of Blackadder, Only Fools & Horses, I'm Alan Partridge, and Red Dwarf. Granted, all 'Britcoms', but better than any of these filthly American shows (Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm & Spin City are okay, I spose). Both Friends and Will & Grace need to be taken away from my TV indefinitely, or I will start killing people. And most of the Britcoms mentioned above are just embarassing (Vicar of Dibley, My Family). Although you have to love Father Ted & Fawlty Towers. The latest trend over here seems to be spoof documentaries though, which kicked off a while ago with 'Brass Eye' & 'The Day Today', and has been succeeded with 'People Like Us' and 'The Office' (The latter is being developed for American screens, I believe, although it will no doubt suck). You will bow to Chris Morris and watch Brass Eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I was just about to say Only Fools and Horses, but you beat me to it. It is absolutely hillarious. I can't think of one episode that hasn't had me in stitches. Just one look at Trigger's face and I burst out laughing. Friends comes a very close second.

KBell Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Seinfield will always be that one sit-com that I will relate my personal life too. It was so original and every episode was fantatic and creative. Its only a shame that Kramer, Elaine and George all tried horrifically at creating a spin-off of Seinfield for their own shows that didn't last more that 5 episodes. (correction- i think Ellaine's show got cancled after 5 episode but was re-signed by NBC to another horrific series that no one watched) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
