OK, had to have a go at this.
It has taken a few days and I have managed 50.
My top 5 could easily be in a different order depending on my mood and have seen many many times.
6-25 are sitcoms I have either enjoyed recently or have watch a fair few times.
26-50 are sitcoms that I remember enjoying at the time when they were first show but have not seen since, so there maybe an element of nostalgia involved.

I'm currently debating with myself which sitcom I will watch next. I'm between, It Ain't Half Mum, Are You Being Served? or The Good Life. So could anybody let me know which of those you would recommend most?

Is there anything on BCG about Perfect World? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238796/

I've not seen it in years but it was a sitcom made for Paul Kaye who was like an Alan B'Stard/Dennis Pennis business executive twat. It also had plenty of Nina Wadia which was nice.
