Sitcoms/Sketch shows I have never seen Page 3

He's wrong. As is Aaron. This is an excellent sit-com and has got a really good will they won't they theme going on. Geoffrey Palmer is as dry as a chip and has some great lines.
No, it's a thoroughly depressing, barely humourous 'sitcom'.
I've never seen and desperately want to see:
On the Buses
Love Thy Neighbour
Big Train
Morecambe and Wise (seen bits on YouTube, very funny)

Wrap you funny bones around this - Big Train series 1 & 2. Not the best quality, but still watchable.

Buy the DVDs. Especially of The Morecambe & Wise Show.
They can all be found on, or searched for from, our shop: https://www.comedy.co.uk/buy/

Wrong (again) to infinity and no returns. Ha! In your face Brown!
I've never seen 15 Storeys High which is shameful.
I've never seen Shameless either, which is also shameful.

Butterflies
Citizen Smith
Don't Wait Up
Drop The Dead Donkey

Ideal
Love Thy Neighbour
The Likely Lads
Nighty Night
On The Buses
The Thick of It
Terry & June
To The Manor Born
15 Storeys High
Was in America when this thread was on, so missed it but looks a good thread and being what I think a good judge of sitcom, these are the ones I'd recommend you watch:
Black Books
Bless this House
Citizen Smith
Ever Decreasing Circles
In Sickness and in Health
The Inbetweeners
The Likely Lads
On the Buses
Never seen Beggar My Neighbour myself, but would quite like to, as I'm a fan of Reg Varney. It was on that set that Jimmy Perry met David Croft- Perry was a sitcom actor and Croft a director and that was the stepping stone of Dad's Army.
Black Books #1
It's one of my favourite sitcoms of all time. Do yourself a favor and sit through all 3 seasons.

Big Train
Nighty Night
These are brilliant.
I recommend nearly all you've listed, there's one or two I haven't seen, like 15 storeys high and big train. Butterflies by the way IS very good, don't expect too many laughs, it's a cosy sort of sitcom/drama rather than a true sitcom, and like My Family it's a very middle class family (oh is Geoffery Palmer a dentist in this?). The narrative arc is what it's all about so you'll be wanting to know how she and her admirer are getting on. Well I did.
The setting might be cosy, but the story/content is anything but.
Nighty Night (series 1) is perhaps the finest, funniest, most wonderful sitcom I've ever seen.
Nighty Night (series 2) is shite.
