What's the best TV comedy ever?

[Bentley Bullet]

I'll start off by nominating the hilariously funny, sophisticated and very clever 'The Office'. Superb in its day and still just as brilliantly funny no matter how many times you see it.........

[DaveDRFC]

The early series of Peep Show were very very good but I think they carried it on at least a couple of series too long.

[glosterred]

Only fools and horses, Dads Army, Porridge and Open all hours - take your pick

COYR

[grayx]

Phoenix nights.

[GM-MarkB]

Porridge...no contest

[Rios]

Red Dwarf.  If they'd done what Gervais did with the office and finished on a high after the first three or four series then it would be remembered up there with the greats rather than milking the life out of it in the later series.

[ridgewoodrover]

Without a doubt dads army,  but early doors is a modern classic (in my humble opinion)

[Al4475]

Another shout for red dwarf here! Agreed however, too many series! The first five series' were great then it lost it's way! If you were a fan and haven't read the books - the first two (red dwarf and better than life) are hilarious - the third (last human) is also quite amusing! Not sure if there were any more!

[mushRTID]

Im Alan Partridge. Aha!

[sedwardsdrfc]

Inbetweenters is amazing the office is very good too IT crowd also great but inbetweeners by far the best out there

[afro goal machine]

Inbetweenters is amazing the office is very good too IT crowd also great but inbetweeners by far the best out there

first series of the inbetweeners was hilarious, the second two were quality too
was brought up on red dwarf also one of my favourites. Saw in the free press a few weeks ago Danny john Jules was at the Doncaster dome, absolutely gutting !!!

[jonnydog]

Morcambe & Wise for me. Still make me laugh now after the 100th time of seeing a sketch or show.

[Filo]

Fawlty Towers, Monty pythons flying circus, The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, Rising Damp, Porridge, Spike Milligans Q series

[LongbridgeMGRover]

A tie between Phoenix nights and Fawlty Towers for me. Followed by Dads Army and On the Buses.

[Dare to dream!]

Only fools and horses, The Royale Family and The Office

[jonnydog]

Are we talking sitcoms or any TV comedy

[ExileRover]

Only fools and horses for me

[moses]

My favourites are Dinnerladies, Royal Family and another vote for Early Doors.

[Filo]

Tonights World cup semi final

[jonnydog]

Tonights World cup semi final

footballs own 'Allo 'Allo

[Mike_F]

Early Doors was excellent. "To the regiment..."

Also echoing others, Phoenix Nights, Red Dwarf, Alan Partridge all excellent.

Big Train was one of the best sketch shows although I was also a fan of Harry Enfield. Kevin & Perry (particularly I the film) were scarily close to me as a teenager at the time!

I'm also a big fan of Bottom. I was genuinely gutted when Rik Mayall died.

[Sad-Rovers]

Im Alan Partridge. Aha!

Seconded.

[Belle-Vue-Ghost]

Dads Army all day long

[River Don]

The Fast Show, Harry & Paul?

Surprising nobody has mentioned Blackadder yet either or any American stuff.

My favourite couple of American sitcoms are Frasier and Curb your Enthusiasm.

[IDM]

Depends on your era I suppose..

I liked Not the Nine O'Clock News, Blackadder, Python of course...

Who can forget Some Mothers Do 'Ave Em...?  Two Ronnies?

[Iberian Red]

Brass Eye

[River Don]

Brass Eye

The Day Today

[andy didcott]

George and Mildred. Class.

[Dr Fundlekrotch]

Terry & June?

[Bentley Bullet]

Just remembered Timothy West as Bradley Hardaker in 'Brass'. Great, unforgettable TV comedy gold.
