Well done Zooo, two words and you've managed to blaspheme.
Great sitcom list Page 3
I wanna see a photo of zooo with glasses on!
Ok, off-topic there.
Anyway, looking forward to it Jack.
A-N now, but stopping for the night. Come on Aaron, I know its hard but lets have a list from you.
I would just end up listing pretty much every sitcom I've ever seen.
A favourite three?
See, I'm actually panicking at the mere thought of having to make such a choice.
If you could only watch one sitcom, which one would it be Aaron?
I often use the sentence - "If you had one week to live which programmes would you want to watch again before you die" - but I am 50 so my mind tends to work that way

Interesting ordering there! I actually just received the box set of your number 15, A Fine Romance, this morning, so will stick that on later. Interesting indeed.
Oh, and Dogfood Dan and The Carmarthen Cowboy is one I've always loved the sound of. Excellent name!

By interesting I take it you mean that some of my choices (and where they are in the list) are a bit strange
Enjoy watching A Fine Romance, a wonderful little sitcom with a couple of great lead performances from Michael Williams and Dame Judi.
Dogfood Dan was a great one series sitcom. All that is available at the moment is the original play that its based on - which is included on the DVD of A Bit of a Do. Haven't got round to seeing it yet, but hopefully its as good as the series that followed it

No no, interesting in the traditionl sense, not as in peculiar or strange.
Although ...
Some good lists but whatever happened to "Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads ?"
I'm from Whitley Bay, where some of the scenes were set, so I'm a little biased.

Why-Aye man
