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

Took the words right out of my mouth! But I would also say that 'Are You Being Served?' was not much better either.

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.

Father ted was/is great, ....agree with you on my hero

The Good Life......

Tom Good (Richard Briers)
Barbara Good (Felicity Kendal)

With Margo and Gerry I think that was them,that's got to be the worst sitcom of all time.................

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

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....

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

Was amazed to discover said Mr Waterman had written and was singing the "feem toon" to New Tricks the other nite. Doesn't he get LB?

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

Definately in his contract..won't sign up until he can sing the "Feem Toon"
Can he still sing with those huge new teeth he acquired?

How very dare you ! It was good harmless fun !

However as our opinions are exactly that I personally find the following "bob":

Fawlty Towers - (Wait for the diatribe to follow this !)
Abfab
Most if not all of what people have already put. However, some of the later series of some i.e. they started off with some promise but got carried away. Namely My Family, My Hero, Birds of a feather, etc.....
I'm Alan Partridge
One foot in the grave - Ultimate TOSH !!!
Some mothers do av'em - see comment for OFiTG
Brittas Empire
HideHi = Bobdebob

Just getting off me soapbox now

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

Burbs the Good Life over Cleese, Coogan and Wilson, shame on you. Please take this comedy challenge person to a darkened room, tie him to a chair and play episodes of Terry and June on a loop for the next 24hours
