    Here's my top 10. Any more suggestions?

    * One Foot In The Grave
    * Upwardly Mobile
    * The Brittas Empire
    * Wings
    * Are you being served?
    * Absolutely Fabulous
    * Mad About You. In fact, every US sitcom ever shown on TV3
    * Ned and Stacey
    * Who's The Boss/The Upper Hand
    * Dad's Army

    Theres 2 there i wouldnt agree with at all but heres mine.
    1):Payne (It was a remake of Fawlty Towers by those retarded americans, needless to say they ****ed it up)
    2):The Bold and the Beautiful (some babes innit, but such retarded americans, the plot usually involves some evil dead/comotose twins having affairs and the like)

    Theres more but i cant be buggered.

    Friends shud get a warning aswell, some of the newest episodes are crap, but its still good.

    Id like to tack on to the list
    1. Drew Carey - over here (US) he is on every f*cking station all the time, wrecks my head. And that fat b*tch is the unfunniest character i have ever seen in my life.

    2. Everybody loves f*cking Raymond- doesnt need a reason

    I could go on but remember tv3 only shows half the crap american sitcoms, theres more where that came from.

    Afraid it's gotta be Seinfeld... what a load of toss... followed closely by that daft US remake of Fawlty Towers (it's on after midnight on ITV some night of the week!)



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,025 ✭✭✭yellum


    One Foot in the Grave, Brittas and Ab Fab can be excellent at times. One Foot has some brilliant set pieces and they he gets/got away with some much that a younger sitcom actor wouldn't. The bit where a prostitute used to massage his feet using her nipples was very funny. Brittas was good to start with but it was the same script nealry every week. Clolin was a great character though.

    And as for Ab Fab. Have you seen any other comedic character snorting coke and getting away with it ? Theres excellent episodes of that, pretty awful ones too though.

    I'd agree with the rest of your choices, though Dads Army is good at times.
    German Soldier to Pike: What is your name ? I will write it down.
    Capt. Manwaring: Don't tell him Pike.

    You've left out the Royle family.

    The gags come bizzaro thick and fast and are totally crap. One scene must have been 7 or 8 minutes long of them sitting watching TV eating buscuits, singing the song from the ad of each biscuit. My sides nearly split rolleyes.gif

    hey ab fab was good...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,417 ✭✭✭Miguel_Sanchez


    I love the Royle Family. It's bloody hilarious and I reckon people who don't get it are too stupid to know when something's funny if they're not being spoon-fed by one of those annoying laugh-tracks.

    "Alright Dave. Have you 'ad your tea?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Illkillya


    Payne is brutal - painfully unfunny. The Royal family is the best sitcom on TV atm by far imo

    What are you on?Seinfeld is probably one of the best sitcoms ever.

    Royle Family is also excellent.

    Yeah... but "Give my Head Peace" is a GOOD comedy... he's looking for BAD ones... hence the topic subject...

    Who remembers "Extra, Extra!" on RTÉ... just when you thought they couldn't come out with any more brutal rubbish... they come up with that... (arrrrrrrrrrrgggh!!!) frown.gif

    Seinfeld.....Truth not only of the existence of Satan, but that he has serious bowel problems too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,945 ✭✭✭D-Generate


    Jaysus, Seinfield IS the best comedy on the planet. Unfortunatally it is over so the crown passes on to Drew Carey which isn't shown merely enough and when it is supposed to be on Net2 at about 12:15 it ends up being shown at 1:30


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37 Energizer1


    the funniest sitcoms on tv have to be spin city and frazier. Seinfeld is crap,haven't seen drew carey. dads army,fawlty towers and are you being served are good(not great)!!

    Amen.What a big pile of sh1te!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,219 ✭✭✭plastic membrane


    Whoever the hell came up with Upwardly Mobile, that godawful excuse for a pile of rotting maggot ridden dead donkey flesh should be strung up in his birthday suit on a tree in someplace really f ucking cold like Siberia, or Mayo, made to watch that f ucking show repeatedly for three months straight while it plays on a continuous loop, while a rabid dog feeds slowly on his genitalia, all while having to eat his own faeces to survive.

    Or mabye it was "Allo, Allo" i hated. Anyway, both shows are not the Dog's B ollocks, thats for damn sure.

    Im going to the bear fights tomorrow, want to come with ??

    I don't know how I missed it! The theme song is the most annoying thing ever and it just gets worse. I went tru a sad period where I fancied Kelly Bundy and almost went insane



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 599 ✭✭✭ThunderingMike


    To be honest, I think every sitcom listed on this page is ****ing stupid but just for fun, heres my top worst sitcom list:

    Give My Head Peace (Feeeeeeennniiiaaannn!)

    Its Like, You Know (The dumbest ****ing title for a sitcom ever)

    Baddiels Syndrome (I may only have seen one episode, but this tat is right up there)

    And most of all. Unfunny, annoying, confusing, contrived, insulting, badly acted, smugly scripted Seinfeld. Frankly, I can understand why he turned down the 3 million rather then do another episode of that ****e.

    Seinfeld, most amazing sitcom ever made, a lot of other great comedys like Frasier are starting to get too emotional now (the whole Niles-Daphny thing)

    Worst sitcom ever Absolutly Fabulous, its so bad it infuriates me even thinking about it
