Already done my antipodean friend https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/11773/

And The Good life is surely a comedy that stands up today. It's subject matter, too, has never been as pertinent.

The Good Life was quality, not least because it was one of the first sitcoms where you had 4 actors of reasonably equal billing feeding off each other rather than one being the star and the rest following, or it just being a double act. In some respects, some of the themes were a few years ahead of their time.

You're right. I need to re-watch it :-)

Time to do a new list

1) Steptoe and Son
2) The Royle Family
3) Fawlty Towers
4) I'm Alan Partridge
5) Blackadder
6) Only Fools and Horses
7) The League of Gentlemen
8) Till Death Us Do Part
9) Peep Show
10 Still Game
11) The Young Ones
12) Father Ted
13) Porridge
14) Bottom
15) Rising Damp
16) The Mighty Boosh
17) Operation Good Guys
18) Whatever Happened to the Likely lads?
19) Open All Hours
20) 'Allo 'Allo!
21) Phoenix Nights
22) The Office
23) Early Doors
24) Saxondale
25) Last of the Summer wine
26) One Foot in the Grave
27) Red Dwarf
28) Men Behaving Badly
29) Game On
30) Keeping Up Appearances

1. Alan Partridge all formats
2. Father Ted
3. Blackadder
4. Fawlty Towers
5. It Ain't Half Hot Mum
6. The IT Crowd
7. Peep Show
8. The New Statesmen
9. The Likely Lads, all formats
10. The Trip

OFAH was ruined by being milked dry and subsequent episodes after 1996 are terrible, add spin-offs and prequels in there and they pretty much killed it.

1. Miranda
2. Not Going Out
3. Outnumbered
4. Green Wing
5. Mrs. Brown's Boys
6. Extras
7. Drop The Dead Donkey
8. The Fast Show
9. The Mighty Boosh
10. Peep Show
11. Citizen Khan
12. Man Down
13. London Irish
14. My Family
15. My Hero
16. OFAH
17. OTB
18. Bottom
19. Gimme Gimme Gimme
20. Steptoe and Son!

I think mine is quite a varied list. What do you think?

Yes, CG, have a medal.

Well Comedy Geek.

My Hero and Miranda on the same list.
Are you trying to be controversial or is your sense of humour just poorly written comedy?

This list is very accurate and contains a lot of great sitcoms.

8. The Fast Show

Well, that's not accurate, for starters. It's a sketch show.
