    Watch the lads behind Bilko trying to not bust their ass laughing. Silvers ad-libbing was always brilliant and this is no different. Classic!


    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    Rising damp must be in there although it is ITV which is a barren wasteland for comedies - actually ITV is an barren wasteland for anything remotely funny/interesting

    I can't stand that show at all. I have a big problem with Mithcell & Webb. Their sketchshow on Channel 4 was absolutely terrible.

    Curb - The Grand Opening (don't watch or rather listen to if easily offended)



    If you are allowing cartoons i'd have to add South Park.

    Possibly my favourite tv moment of recent years. The Mommy mommy line never fails to bring a smile.

    Curb - The Doll

    I recently bought every episode of Bilko ever made. It spans 18 discs and you can get them on ebay. Quality stuff.

    Anyone else like King of Queens?

    Jerry Stiller is the only good thing on King of Queens, but he makes the whole show worth watching.
    Gustavo I just get a big white square but I'm hoping that's the German with the crisis of confidence sketch. "Are we the baddies?" Pure Quality!

    1. The Larry Sanders Show
    2. Extras
    3. Curb Your Enthusiasm
    4. Frasier
    5. Porridge
    6. The Office
    7. Father Ted
    8. Pheonix Nights
    9. The Mighty Boosh
    10. Seinfeld

    Of course cartoons don't count. Even though the Simpsons is the best TV show ever made, it's not a sitcom.
    Of course the Boosh is a sitcom. What do you call being marooned on a desert island and having to make a 'special friend' from a coconut on a stick if not a situation?

    Meh. It's just another style as far as I'm concerned. You might as well say that Bilko doesn't count because it's in black and white.

    Only 3 of your list (Porridge, and to a lesser extent Seinfeld and Father Ted) follow the traditional sitcom-convention of multi-camera, studio-based setup with a 'laugh track' but it doesn't mean the rest don't count, does it.

    Good point, well made.
    But, if you look really closely, with a magnifying glass, you'll see the words 'live actors' written around the inside of the 'O' in sitcom.

    I'm surprised noone has mentioned The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy. The originals and the best.
    "Jacques Santini...will be greeted in every dugout of the country by "one-nil, one-nil" - Clive Tyldsley, 89th minute of France-England June 13, 2004.
    "Ooooohhhh Nooooooo" Bobby Robson 91st minute.

    Men behaving badly
    curb your enthusiasm

    arrested development
    only fools and horses - only one that can bring a tear to your eye
    fawlty towers
    blackadder
    father ted
    royle family
    porridge

    Very few recent ones. Curb and Arrested definitely the best american ones, with some Cheers. Am I the first to ref League of Gentlemen?

    He's Ben Stiller's da or something isn't he?
    It can be worth watching for him alone.
