    I'm a big fan of tv comedy. Here's a few that I haven't seen mentioned in other lists, that I own the DVD of;

    Dave Allen Show
    Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
    Getting On
    Grandma's House
    Inbetweeners
    Kath & Kim
    Lead Balloon
    Nathan Barley
    Outnumbered (the earlier series)
    South Park
    Still Game
    Nighty Night

    My favourites from the usual suspects;

    Blackadder (2 & 3)
    Brass Eye
    Father Ted
    Fawlty Towers
    Inside No. 9 (though that straddles genres)
    IT Crowd
    The League of Gentlemen
    The Office
    One Foot In The Grave
    Only Fools And Horses (up until the arrival of the two girlfriends, which killed off half the point of the 'situation')
    Peep Show
    Phoenix Nights
    Psychoville
    Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em
    Steptoe and Son
    Thick of It
    Yes Minister/Prime Minister
    The Young Ones (Series one, two is surprisingly dull in places, re-watching it a few months back)

    I've never seen The Goodies - partly due to the BBC having some bizarre institutional hatred of it and not repeating the series. One for the furloughed lockdown list...

    Tried Fleabag, couldn't stand it, switched off after 15 minutes...!

    As for an absolute favourite...it's hard to pick much wrong with Fawlty Towers over repeated viewings. Phoenix Nights runs it close for pure belly laughs.

    EDIT: Jeeves & Wooster
