I doubt an awful lot of people do it. I doubt I'd do it if I hadn't forged myself the job I have in co-running this website.
I'm assuming you're referring to long-runners like My Family and Last Of The Summer Wine, in which case I think the case is that they're watched and enjoyed by the good old silent majority, rather than the vocal few who make themselves known on the internet.
I was forgetting you watch all comedy for professional reasons Aaron. Not so much Last of the Summer Wine (not particularly to my taste, but I think it's actually pretty good). My Granddad absolutely loved it.
My Family (11 series) was exactly what I was thinking of. Along with Never the Twain (11 series), Goodnight Sweetheart (6 series), Don't Wait Up (6 series), Shelly (10 series), 2 Pints of Lager (9 series) and I'm sure there is a lot more that ran for 5+ series without appearing to be that popular.
