I'm also really disturbed at the lack of love for Blackadder.
Fucking millennials.

Actually, everyone is wrong. The winner is Eric Morecambes paper bag trick/gag. Four stars.
Although that's more entertainment/stand up.
Your welcome.

The dull repetitiousness of Alan Partridge is matched only by dull repetitiousness of its fans, Only Fools and Horses is witless nonsense for the thicker end of the working classes, to say Dad’s Army has aged badly would make the generous assumption that it was once good, Fawlty Towers is funny but racist even for the 1970s and John Cleese is a cunt, Brasseye, The Day Today and Jam are interesting but ultimately require a different category to be rated in, Red Dwarf was funny for one season (it doesn’t matter which of the 2 to 6 you watch, they’re all the same) even though it only had a couple of jokes and the whole shebang descended into dribbleshite, I’ve never seen Garth Marengi but it sounds self-indulgent, Monty Python is one part genius mixed with seven parts over-rated inanity and one part misogyny, Peep Show ran for several seasons too long and forgot what it was meant to be about, The Goodies is just rubbish at least pick Hancock’s Half Hour if you want something so old it stopped being funny forty years ago, This Country is the worst kind of snobbery dressed up as social commentary for Brexit Britain, Just Good Friends is sentimental dated crap for people whose brains are dribbling out of their ears, I really don't like Kenny Everett and he is not funny, Spike Milligan was properly funny I suppose, Royle Family veered between nasty small-mindedness and sickening sentiment, and whatever Father Ted may be it’s not British comedy you daft racists. I can’t understand why nobody has mentioned The Green Wing, Detectorists, Tommy Cooper, or Screenwipe.
Edit: I just checked Kenny Everett's wikipedia page, and I would like to apologise for what I initially wrote. I was getting him mixed up with someone else and managed to be accidentally a bit more offensive than I intended.

Inbetweeners?
I like the detectorists but it's barely a comedy. It's TV custard, keeps you warm and moist but it's missing the required actual crumble or cake to make it a decent dessert.
The thick of it is about as repetitive as it gets, although I do like it.

Green Wing is faux-edgy self-indulgent stream of consciousness windbaggery full of gurning luvvies who are clearly having a hell of a lot more fun than the audience.
Shit, I also forgot Spaced and As Time Goes By.

I'm guessing there wasn't much to do in Aberdeen in the 1980s.
I'm not judging Rolling's love of terrible 1980s comedies.

May I ask why you have written Sorry, Ever Decreasing Circles and Last Of The Summer Wine out of history?

I was only writing about programmes people on here had mistakenly thought were good. Did you ever manage to sort out that confusion you had between The Clothes Show and Last of the Summer Wine?

Look at all these Iannucci smoochers. You can't have The Thick of It without Yes Minister. See, it's there in the small print.
Lunch: Vegeterian Thai green curry with fake chicken, just to make Toolio jealous. 4 *s.
