You know what? I knew there was something else that I'd forgotten! I loved that show!!! :D I think it wasn't really appreciated when it was on TV.
I know there are more to name, but my mind isn't functioning properly tonight to remember all of them! :)
But I think I have named enough for one night!:p

I love goodnight Sweetheart. Havent seen that in years!

When did you hear that?? I never heard anything about it! Oh, I don't know if it would work at all! Just look at who the original people are! Could you ever come up with another Mrs. Doyle? Not only that, I don't think anyone else in the world could write a song as beautiful as "My Lovely Horse"! :p
I personally don't understand why everyone always has to copy everyone else's TV programs. The only time that I think they succeeded with it was when the US "The Office" was created. I love it and I actually like it much better than the original. But the US version of "Coupling" was bad! Besides, we already had "Friends" at the same time. I had no idea why they even attempted that! Oh! "All In the Family" is based on another program, too, but I can't remember the original name of it.
I love goodnight Sweetheart. Havent seen that in years!
They showed the entire series here last year and that was it. As soon as it was done they took it off. I watched the first episode, and I thought it seemed a little different and before I knew it I was addicted! :)
And how did i forget Blackadder!
Shame on you!
but then again the only one i mentioned was Some mothers, and thats because its my fav
Is this the show with Michael Crawford?
I actually don't mind "As Time Goes By" either. I just love the character of Lionel. Alistair is OK, too, but Lionel is great with his sarcasm! :D

Frasier
+1
Also, it isn't really a 'comedy show', strictly speaking, but "House" is quite funny and is really the only thing I'm watching currently.
I remember liking 'Whose Line is it Anyway', but that's been gone for some time, I think.

Ah dear Gilligan, but it was the best. To think that Gilligan , well the actor, was actually a lawyer first.
I tend to love my British comedies, some are:
Some mothers do ave em

Faulty Towers
I also loved the Seinfeld series, the characters were so fleshed out.

Here I go and scold Niamh for forgetting "Blackadder", but I forgot this one! I cannot believe that I did that! How could I ever forget Basil and Manuel??
Jeeves and Wooster
I really did quite enjoy these. I love Hugh Laurie as Bertie.

I always like to see Mrs. Slocombe's everchanging hair color. :p
