Sitcom Haiku

I just wrote an ace haiku in praise of On the Buses. So why don't you all join in?

It's better than working.

Last of the Summer Wine.

Old actors seem joyous.
Nora Batty's stockings are erotic.
Bath tub down hill fly.

'Coming of Age'

Nob jokes fly everywhere
Empty sound of no laughter
Fills the living rooms.

Should be - Nob gags fly all over

5, 7, 5 syllables.

Hurrah for summer
Rejoice that the season's blend
Shudders to an end

Whoops! Thought it was 7, 7, 5 for some reason, but maybe I'm chmod-ing too much... (that's one for the Unix people in here)

Life of Riley

One US rip-off
Has pernickety man miffed
Weird caff owner

Dan

Man with rubber head
Irons for slob, wildlife and sprite
On plastic spaceship

Dan

Woman of his dreams
Lives nearby and pays him rent.
But no attention.

Fletch lives...

Man walks into sea
Only to return as twin brother
Sells shit to masses

Nice one. Let's hope it's true.

Flat sharing slackers
Lots of movie allusions
But not any jokes

It's 777 normally, you dirty hussy.

Well, no, normally it's the 'opposite' of the umask. But that doesn't sound as rude or as funny...

Dan

Fallen has great tits
Speak once and never repeat not twice
Airmen never go home.

Story told by both

Hooray for the new mother of all time wasting threads.
