Re: On The Buses or last of the summer wine
Unsure. Too young to remember OTB from its original run but the repeats are ok. Liked LOTSW when I was young (and it was arguably better) but not the later ones where it had been done to death. 50/50.

Out of the two has to be On The Buses...neither was really funny to me but OTBS seemed more livelier. I did like the toilet blowing up in the film too...

Re: On The Buses or last of the summer wine
With Last of the summer wine..all depends who's in the lead roles.The program changed with each new person to play one of the main characters.Each actor brought their own feel to the program.Some I really like' like foggy,others like Blamire were far too dry for me and after Compo died the show was never the same again.Compo was for me the reason I watched the show.It represents my teenage years.
On the busses was for me as a child really funny,especially the film where they go on holiday to the holiday camp and some how blow up the toilets,lol.But the show must have all of its main characters otherwise I find it hard to watch.When Reg left it was never the same and it was somehow no longer funny.
So the answer to the question is that as both shows have high points and low points I tend to see them equally and cannot place one above the other and I would agree they are both fine shows that in their hey day I really enjoyed.Leave a comment:

Re: Worst TV sit Com ever.....
Was totally unaware that they made any more OFAH after they became Millionaires.
lucky escape by the sound of it.
Yes, it did go on too long, but there are so many classics in that series, and even forgotten minor ones always raise a chuckleLeave a comment:

Re: Worst TV sit Com ever.....
I really liked most of the Royle Family, the humour wasn't as signposted as many other sitcoms.
Only some the more recent Xmas specials seemed sub-par.Leave a comment:

Re: Worst TV sit Com ever.....
There are only 2 comedies that really work. Ones that a rooted into everyday life are things where the people in them you physically know. Everyone knows a Jim Royal. Everyone knows a Delboy. Everyone knows a Victor Meldrew. Everyone knows a Hyacinth Bucket. Yeah, some of the situations might be far fetched, but we've all being in those situation where passing on the story is slightly unbelievable. The other side of the spectrum you have the zany stuff that doesn't make any sense at all. Father Ted, League of Gentlemen or anything Vic and Bob have done. It doesn't matter as long as it's lsced with funny, right?Leave a comment:

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.Leave a comment:

Re: Worst TV sit Com ever.....
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.Leave a comment:

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.Originally posted by darren View PostLeave a comment:
