Uncle Albert looks so "stuck on" on that DVD pic LOL


I generally hate all sitcoms, but "Only fools" is a classic. Funny how Americans lapped up pure shite like "are you being served?" but have never heard of something with abit of substance like "only fools". I love the acting between Del and Rodney. They got a bit crap later on mind, but hey, all sitcoms do that.

Your kids might be playing a subtle psychological game to get you to compromise on a Wii ferret game.

OK, let's cut to the chase and reveal the winner, shall we?

Behold...

TyphoonTip said:

Seen them too many times. But as best all round scripts, pacing, characters, situations etc... Yes I agree, it can't be beaten. It also helps that it never got tired because there were only about 12 episodes ever made. Pretty much all major sitcoms outlive their welcome, but obviously not that one.

you don't know me and the perverse pleasure I get from saying NO

ZombieKitten said:

I'm sorry. I promise I won't say that again! I'll go stand in the corner now.

TyphoonTip said:

Montie Python

Wow, The Young Ones was an oversight. Not sure whether I'd class Comic Strip as a sitcom though? Although it was narrative based, ...ummmm borderline.

The Flying Circus, however, definitely was a sketch thingy and not a sitcom.

....How did forget The Young Ones....

"This calls for a very special blend of psychology and extreme violence."

TyphoonTip said:

I watched every single episode of young ones first time around, except one episode which aired the week we were on school camp
and do you know what we did? tuned in to ABC radio and listened to it
I think I even taped the audio onto a cassette
it was the one where the headless ghost with dropped his head onto a lady's lap and she farted

ZombieKitten said:

The strangest thing about the Young One's for me is that my love of lentils comes from watching it.

I remember as a little kid asking for lentils just because it's all they ever ate on the show.

....I'm much more sophisticated now of course. Lemon juice, rocket, maybe some balsamic vinegar. Very nice.

TyphoonTip said:

oh my god
what a classic!
I'm surprised I didn't turn vegetarian after that giant sandwich with the giant ham that fell through their roof

ZombieKitten said:

Well, if I thought the lentils looked appetising, I'm not sure that sandwich would've put me off!

From memory I did a pretty decent Jerzy Balowski impression as a 7 year old. Ah, the days before cam-corders & youtube.

I used to be such a nerd and go around reciting this:

"I went round me neighbours house to borrow a drill. But he wasn't home...So I broke in, and ate his fish tank.
And I wasn't even hungry.....
YA WONT CATCH ME WITH ME TROUSERS!!!!"

sammij said:

You so beat me to it lol

I also watched Moonlighting

Andy Griffith show! I just love it. But I think love what wish life would be... where people seem to really care about each other. They seem to care about each others feelings.

I like the Cosby show, too!

I really like the old shows. Let's see. I also like I Love Lucy! I just think it's funny.

Living Single
Martin
The Cosby Show
Good Times
The Game
Girlfriends
A Different World

remember when Sid Snot goes up to the kiosk to get a coffee, and the lady pulls the sugar cubes out of her cleavage and asks him if he wants milk and he says "you wouldn't dare!!!!"

or when he is a baby in a pram "my daddy bought me a cellophane nappy so he could see what was going on!"

Brady Bunch

Partridge Family

The Monkees

The Jeffersons

Taxi

WKRP

Cheers

Roseanne

i guess 'the young ones' classifies as 'classic' these days, huh? :iamold:
