Which is your favorite comedy programme of all time?

Post by Derekftm »

Mine has to be the best.

ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES.

I have not seen any programme that can match this. Nowadays, its a load of cr*p.

From delboy, to rodney to uncle albert and grandad + the one and only trigger!!!

I still cannot stop laughing when I watch repeats on uk gold.

Here in the US, my favorite comedy is "My Wife and Kids" with Damon Wayans. I find "Will & Grace " quite funny too.

Best Comedy

Post by DianeStokerxxx »

I don't know how you can say one comedy is better than the other, we've got some absolute classics as contenders. I think, even though its recent, Phoenix Nights is a quality show and deserves one of the more recent comical attributes!

Long live Only Fools :)

One of my favourite sit coms of all time was.

" Seven Grannies in a Bus" Starring Thelma Shade and Aggy Petronus.

Also

"Negro Viper" starring Percy Malone.

and

"Never say the pants will be ready by Tuesday" was big hit for

Hornby Saville - Flanders.

You just cant beat a good Sit com
