Sitcoms 70's-90's

[pedro]

Going on from the previous thread on Watching and the debate on some dubious sit coms thought I'd start an obvious one....

I would list said

AB_FAB
Two Pints etc
Game On
My Family
2.4 Kids
The one where Bruce Forsyth took over from the recently deceased Leonard Rossiter(set in a super market)
Butterflys
Squirrels

the blue touch paper has been lit....

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

The Rossiter/Forsyth travesty was Slinger's Day/Tripper's Day

and I'll add..Babes in the Wood
Up the Elephant and round the Castle
Lame Ducks
Home James
and how could I forget..Lee Evan's appalling So What Now?

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

think between the two of you have got most of them....except....HOME TO ROOST. what was john thaw thinking of outting his name to that

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

If we'd never have had Home to Roost then Reece Dinsdale wouldnt have been discovered for the part in I.D. which is possibly my fave all time film.

So im sorry Home to Roost doesnt go into room 101 and you have to take it home with you :-)

Sorry but I have to say that 2 Pints is one of the best sitcoms from the last decade. Also, Ab Fab and Game On are great as well. In it's day 2.4 Children was ok-ish

Good Grief! and there was me thinking it was puerile garbage aimed at chavvy teenagers

probably just that clown Mellor that puts me off..God,he is SO vain

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

How could I have forgot My Hero followed closely by Father Ted.

A couple of others( i cant recall the names) but Paul O'Grady in a bingo hall and the late John Inman in a Pickle Factory? awful is to good for them.

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

Father Ted is one of the greatest shows ever shown on TV
(imho )
Can't recall John Inman in a pickle factory, are you not thinking of Nearest and Dearest?
I do recall Inman in Take a Letter,Mr Jones

and how could we have forgotten Molly Sudgen in the spectacularlly awful "Come Back Mrs Noah"!??

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

Grace and Favour... the disasterous follow on from Are You Being Served.

[sixtyten]

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

Thought of another....and its grim

the vile Johnny Vaughn in 'Orrible

it certainly was!
(that man has a face I'd never tire of punching )

[pedro]

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

Nearest & Dearest was indeed set in a pickle factory and funny( must get a little hand on me watch) Inmans was similar seem, to remember him inheritating it from some relative?
Father Ted funny...get to feck!

[pedro]

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

Johnny Vaughn and Vernon Kaye punch till you drop Daz

[sixtyten]

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

"Feck off,Cup!"

Classic!

Pedro, the Inman sitcom was Odd Man Out, with Josephine Tewson..and it was a seaside rock factory,not pickles he inherited. it rings faint bells as it was Peter Butterworths last TV role

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

Well found out Daz....rock/pickles whats the difference. Green Green Grass never seen it but spin offs rarely work? The Gaffer with him off heart beat another fun fest...not!
