Steptoe and son, I'm old hat!!

[marval]

I love Last Of The Summer Wine best.

[ladybirder]

And what about Ab Fab, nobody's mentioned that! Loved it in its day.

[Patsy33]

I've never laughed so much, as I did at Fawlty Towers! I still laught at repeats...

[diddlydo]

Why has no-one else even mentioned The Good Life which was just brilliant.

[ichkeria]

Has anyone mentioned League of Gentlemen?

What sets Fawlty, Father Ted and Blackadder apart from most of the rest for me is that virtually every line of every episode is a classic. There’s very little wasted. And I can watch them over and over. LoG comes quite close in my opinion.
It’s whatever makes you laugh I suppose is good.

[gollob]

For me it would have to be Early Doors
For being shown most on terrestial television in must be Dad's Army by a country mile

Last of The Summer Wine is the least funny "comedy" show in the history of television. Absolute garbage.

[waterboatman]

Last of the Summer Wine is one of my favourites.

[Hopkirk]

Oh come on everyone, it's a tie between Bottom and Peep Show.

[Maydup]

Now if we're talking vintage, I remember fondly a string of unconnected comedies about the house! Bless this House, Man about the House, and Doctor in the House!

I watched Faulty Towers as a kid but I wouldn't call it the greatest. I thought most polls go for Only Fools as top ranked sitcom.

My faves are Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Keeping up Appearances, Ab Fab and Miranda.

I loved keeping up appearances (my mother in law was a hyacinth) lol x

[naomi24]

I still laugh at Fawlty Towers, but Only Fools and Horses is second to none for me. Brilliantly written and brilliantly performed.

[Ken4155]

It Ain't Half Hot, Last Of The Summer Wine, Are You Being Served, Father Ted, Hi De Hi and Dad's Army. None have ever caused me to even smile, let alone laugh.

[mallyh]

only fools and horses when del fell in the wine bar was hilarious as was the david beckhams comic relief sketch x
