Re: Worst TV sit Com ever.....

I remember Mulberry could be very surreal, but other sitcoms at the time (Brittas Empire, 2.4 Children...) also went a bit weird.

i remember brittas empire did it not have nigel havers in it.
not actually that bad.
thing is with lots of these sitcoms they start out very good but ionce they start going bad instead oif stopping them they keep going.

I went on to the You-tube link Richard, yeah it was sureal i'd agree with you here easily. Though in repliance to what you said Sly, I have sure seen far far worse Comedy's - I found Mullbery really good and quite interesting. hough as has been said about "tastes", weall don't like the same .... imagine that, that'd be terrible I reckon/think.

Re: Worst TV sit Com ever.....

I'd go along with that, I used to like Game On when it was on, but have tried to watch it again and boy is it ****.

I'd also throw in
Birds of a Feather
Terry and June
The Upper Hand

terry and june and two pints i really like a well as birds of a feather.
not so fond of upper hand.

Re: Worst TV sit Com ever.....

I sat and watched the whole first series of Mulberry when I put that up, and I have to say, its a great story, but the comedy in it leaves a lot to be desired. I don't think any other comedy shows had such a deep running theme to them as this did. I guess it should be applauded for that.

Re: Worst TV sit Com ever.....

The 2 worst i can think of are

Eldorado http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eldorado_(TV_series)

and

Albion Market http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion_Market

Re: Worst TV sit Com ever.....

Eldorado was a soap... I guess it could be considered a sitcom though, given how bad it was.

I've never even hear of the other.

Re: Worst TV sit Com ever.....

I used to and think (and until about a few years a-go) even would've nominated As Time Goes By, as I don't really rate and see what the fuss is about why Judi dench is such a grerat actress.

Amazingly though i've grown to lke it a lot lot more in recent times, but as much as i'm no fan of Judi Dench the bloke who played Lionel was immensly terrible opposite her and probably made Judia ppear poor in many a way. He has to be one of the worsr actors to be on Tv consistantly for such a long period, for the time as long as he was Lionel I think.

Re: Worst TV sit Com ever.....

I think only Fools and Horses could easily qualify for both best and worst sitcom depending on the timeline.The early series are great but it started to go downhill when they introduced the two girlfriends and it was killed stone dead when Del Boy got married and the wife moved in.The last Christmass special which had that guy in the back of the van saying "Gary" was just woefull.

Geoffrey Palmer is a terrible actor, I agree. You better believe he'd have kicked your *rse in his younger days, he was a Royal Marine. Hard to believe that, isn't it?

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 !
