    My Five ....
    Frasier
    The Simpsons
    Two and a half Men
    Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister
    The Cosby Show

    Really tough to limit it to five, though .... I expect if I were to answer it again tomorrow Friends and The Office might find their way on!

    Black Adder (All of them, but in this order, 2,4,1,3)
    Red Dwarf
    Fawlty Towers
    Only Fools and Horses
    Last of the Summer Wine, because I'm from there.

    Come on - the 1s Blackadder is light years behind the rest.


    Au contraire my good man. It's a universally accepted truth that the third series is by far the weakest and besides the first series had Brian Blessed in it, therefore making it awesome by that mere fact alone.

    It also had Peter Cooke, that still doesn't mean it's any better than the rest.
    I'll agree 2 is the best, followed by 4 but 1 is last by a lon distance and if you think otherwise you're mad. You're mad. You're madder than Mad Jack McMad, winner of this years Madman competition.

    MASH was greatness for three years

    Which 3 years? I thought it was fairly consistent throughout its whole 11 year run.

    Scrap that, make it Series 1 and 2. It only started to work for me when the permanent Kryten (Robert Lewellyn) came on board, and it only really hit its stride in Series 3. Just my opinion.
