I agree that Fawlty Towers should never have been made as it makes all other sitcoms seem inferior in comparison.
Sitcoms that shouldn't have been made? Page 3
Quote: George Kaplan @ June 11 2013, 11:59 PM BSTThis thread topic reminds me of "Minority Report", except that instead of criminals being arrested ahead of their crimes, it's sitcom-makers having their babies aborted. So to speak.
Minority Report shouldn't have been made. It's the only film I've walked out on before the end.

Couldn't disagree more. This was one of the more watchable Tom Cruise films. Anyway, not a sitcom.

Could we go back in time and change that?
Are we going off topic again?

Best/wittiest response by a mile. Honorable mention also goes to Michael Monkhouse for his contribution, though it was perhaps too "off-topic" for some tastes.
Perhaps, when all is said and done, this is the thread that shouldn't have been made? 
I think this forum is good for going off topic.
However back on topic Ab Fab and Red Dwarf.
Red Dwarf??
*walks away muttering*
Yeah. I thought that was a dull and a awful show that God created.
God makes sitcoms now?
I can't believe God made Red Dwarf. Fawlty Towers maybe, but not RD.

Got you there! 
Aaron may I ask why you prefer studio based sitcoms?
I really can't see it, I hate that I am being told when I should laugh of course I make exceptions for 2point4 Children, Cheers and Roseanne, but these were programmes I associate with being a kid and not really having formed an opinion of my own, I am sure there are other studio based sitcoms I like also but recently I can't think of any, The Big Bang Theory I think I might actually enjoy but I cannot stand the canned/audience laughter and so have always thought of it as another low brow (that pretends to be high brow because they know about physics) sitcom.
I would really like to know why studio based appeals to you more.

Compared to every other 90s show?
I don't get why you wouldn't want a well written show, okay you might not like sci-fi. Otherwise good writers are to a hiding to nothing.
Terrific compared to whom?
This thread is basically saying that if you don't like a show it should never have been made. Doesn't matter if people like it or it's well respected, if you don't like it it should be erased from existence.
