Disagree with the first one
(It's easier than saying I agree with Aaron.)
But I'm with you on point number 2
Marmite Comedies: Shows People Either Love or Hate Page 3
LOVE League of Gentlemen, but also love Dibley.
Hmm, I hated
Dinnerladies
Men Behaving Badly
The Royle Family
Early Doors
Green Wing
The IT Crowd
Spaced
But I do believe a lot of clueless people say they loved them!
So I think these qualify as Marmite sitcoms.
Nah, those are sitcoms everyone likes but you.
Maybe YOU are the Marmite...
I love me.

At university I shared a house with somebody who flew into a rage when Only Fools And Horses was on. He absolutely hated it.
Like sooty when he sees Terry and June!
Or Aaron with Spaced?
Well, kinda.
That's more of an inner rage.
Bread... I hate it with a passion, I'm not keen on Carla Lane written things, Bread, I hold in special contempt...

CL is, to our very great shame, one of Britain's most-underrated sitcom writers.
When people talk about writers that re-shaped British TV, her name is inexplicably often absent from the list.
A British sitcom about a married woman having an affair? That was ground-breaking television.

Yeah, and Armstrong and Miller as well.
Many people think those shows are hillarious, but I see them, I find them, using what Charlie Brooker said on You Have Been Watching to describe what he thought of Glee, so f***ing annoying, that it's not long before I want to harm anyone watching them, involved in their production, or simply reflected in the screen!
