I recently read about an American sitcom called 'Work It' about two US guys who can't get jobs so dress up as women to get the only jobs available. Downloaded it, laughed my head off, then looked for episode three to find the network had simply stopped showing it after two episodes! Yes, even though they had the series filmed it was decided at pretending it never happened was the thing to do. Honestly, it's the funniest, most sexist, un politically correct thing ever, and totally brilliant- I recommend a download!

Delboy never married Raquel

The "Gary" episode was "strangers on the shore" , one from last episode

i cant agree that it qualifies as worst sitcom, the latter ones are not as good , i believe they should have finished it when they became millionaires but the latter ones when they lost the money was OK. for me only one word describes Only Fools...... CLASSIC !

I agree that the ones when they loose their money were a bit of a mistake, especially after such a strong ending.

Over the whole run it was certainly consistantly good enough to make it a classic.

That's news to me, I've never even heard of it. But then again I haven't really watched TV in some twenty years.

I preferred Michael Bates as Blamire to Foggy, actually. The early episodes are much funnier than the later ones, which just got stupid after awhile.

For me, the worst sitcom ever was The Royle Family. Crude, tedious and totally unfunny. I can't understand why it seems to appeal to so many people.

Because that's how many working class families are? I know families just like that. The lazy husband. The brow beaten wife. The useless stupid lazy kids that pass on all the work to the parents. The close friend that's always on a diet. Almost all popular comedy is rooted in everyday life.

completely agree there H.

forgot about this one but you are correct on all points.

sitcoms can be funny without being crude.

Got to agree with this, very much based on reality. Personally I loved it.
