    Default We haven't done TV comedies yet

    Popular Music and Films look to be nearly finished so should we do TV comedy next? Top 10 or 15 as you like but remember On the Buses & Love Thy Neighbour will lose you points; anything from 1955 to 2020, I suppose unless anyone does a top 5 or so by the decade, (that'll get harder as time passes ). Live action only so no Family Guy or Rick & Morty yheeeees Rick or the amazing The Simpsons (cartoons next?), UK or US accepted or split them up if you want.

    Still working on a list

    For a new comedy "Meet the Richardsons" given the mocumentaries this really does make you laugh. https://uktvplay.uktv.co.uk/shows/me...SAAEgKrlfD_BwE

    Monty Python
    Father Ted
    Early Doors
    Dinner Ladies
    Men Behaving Badly
    Bottom
    Rising Damp
    Third Rock from the Sun
    Big Bang Theory
    The Good Place

    plus most of what others have said. I rewatched Q recently and thought Spike Milligan wouldn't get away with even half of that these days, definitely of its time.
