Worst Sitcom

[tarzan]

What is your worst Sitcom of all time and why please

[flirty41]

Last of the Summer Wine, definitely! I just find it a total bore. It always ends up with the silly old fools getting into the most unlikely predicament by the end of the programme. It's so predictable and unfunny - in my opinion - although some people obviously adore it since it has been going since the year dot.

Duty Free, which ran during the early 80's was absolutely terrible

[rcrayner]

No Contest. L for Lester, starring Brian Murphy, 1982. Only survived the one series. It was really really rubbish. So bad, in fact, it was good . . . .

[Numbers]

So Haunt Me. So unfunny. Oy veyyy....

[Mark75]

All about me with Jasper Carrot so PC its terrible why Jasper lowerd himself to such rubbish is beyond me same question to Ardell o Hanlon how on earth did he drop from classic Father Ted to dross like My Hero?

[BadBob]

Couldn't agree more about "All about me" I watched about 20 minutes of one of them and they were the worst 20 minutes of TV I have ever seen.

[bernardo]

"The Office" and "League of Gentlemen", for the same reason in both cases.
When they started, there was a huge amount of hype and publicity about them. I watched the first episode, to see what all the fuss was about. I didn't think it was at all funny, and didn't get what all the fuss was about. There was great critical acclaim after the first episode, so I watched the second episode as well, thinking that I may have been in the wrong mood the first time.
Both of these programmes I found to be utterly unfunny and have never watched either since. I reckon it must be some sort of acquired taste, and I might like them if I force myself to watche the repeats again from the beginning (whenever they get repeated).

Take your pick from "The Office...Dad's Army...'ello 'ello..." all one trick ponies which just re-hashed the same lines each week.

And another vote for Last of The Summer Wine. Do people actually laugh at this dross. And I completely agree with an earlier comment concerning Ardal o' Hanlon. Father Ted was just brilliant, and O'Hanlon in particular was excellent - and then My Hero came along!!!! Go figure as the yanks would say.

[bobbobley]

most of them are utterly toilet - one foot in the grave, dad's army, last of the summer wine, only fools and horses, 'allo 'allo, my family, terry and june - all absolutely rubbish.

[Mark75]

I think out of all the above mentioned OFAH is the only decent one but is repeated waaaaaaaaaay too much and the BBC dont even bother to show them in the right order and at the same time each week :(

[tracymort]

babes in the wood was pretty awful, i vaguely remember it.

[BadBob]

Cant stand Only Fools and Horses. Did you know how they write Last of the Summer Wine. What they have are 4 hats and all the script writers sit in a circle and pick bit s of paper from each hat as follows. In one hat is one of the female characters, the next hat has a male character, the third hat has a bike, bath, hand built go cart or classic car and the final hat one of the main characters. So the plot goes Hat 2 chases after Hat 1 for most of the episode, all the main characters meet Hat 1 and he has built/found the contents of Hat 3, they convince Hat 4 to ride/steer the contents of Hat 3 down a hill (why is never important and normally explained when the posh one saus "Ohhh Just do it"), on the journey down the hill Hat 4 must pass Hat 1 and Hat 2 in a field in a compromising position. It all ends with Hat 4 sitting legs akimbo on Hat 3 with a tin pan/potty on his head. Every few years they replace some of the names in the hat.

The Crouches. It's was so poor & yet no one's mentioned it. Probably because no one's watched it. Just about says it all . . .

[Elle]

I definitely agree with Last of the Summer Wine, So Haunt Me, and All About Me (Jasper Carrott is worthy of so much more), but personally I can't see why My family is so popular. Also caught a bit of the new Amanda Holden/Jamie Theakston so called comedy Mad About Alice. Didn't crack a smile once during 10 minutes of watching.

[Cetti]

I'm anti sitcom anyway because they are so embarrassing, but the the one that everyone seemed to adore - and I loathed was 'Are You Being Served?' The humour (if you can call it that) was straight out of 'Carry On.. (more one joke stuff) and the acting was so wooden, Trevor Bannister even delivered his lines to the camera. Horrible!

[kevinh]

On a similar sort of theme, how on earth did 'The Vicar of Dibely' get into the top 10 of all time sit coms currently being debated on BBC2

[kevinh]

I know they are not 'sit coms' but i've have never laugh at either 'Smack the Pony' or 'Revoler!'

[Socrates]

"Two Pints of Lager". Awful.
