Exactly. Red Dwarf i thought was too high up aswell. Top ten seems to be in order so far apart from the good life.

Another mistake.

Vicar of Dibley above, Only Fools and Fawlty Towers and Blackadder?
By Aaron
#134013
Ah never mind that post above. I think I'd have to vote for Only fools or Fawlty Towers or dads army or blackadder or one foot in grave or porrridge or open all hours, I'm confused.

I didn't see any of this. I assume Fawlty Towers won?

My family should not be in the list at all. Was it like one of those Channel 4 100 greatest things?
By Aaron
#134015
I thought it was like those channel 4 things buit it isnt. It counted down to the top10 and now you have to vote for which one you want to win out of the tiop10. Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/sitcom to vote. I've voted Fawlty Towers.

I thought the show was good tonight. I don't think Red Dwarf was too high up, it's quality. Alan Partridge, The Office, Royle Family and Dinnerladies should have been higher and Father Ted should have been top 10.

I think the winner should be Blackadder or Fawlty Towers. Both are just pure genius.

the top ten WERE NOT in any particular order BTW aaron

time for a poll me thinks...

I know thats why i said i thought it was to jimmy but then i found out it wasnt. Fawlty towers is pure genius.

I see now, it's like Great Britons. Many of those Top 10 are vastly over rated.

I like My Family. I'm not sure wether or not I like it more than The Office though, you wouldn't normally compare the two.

This is my top 10:
1. Fawlty Towers
2. Only Fools and Horses
3. Dad's Army
4. Vicar of Dibley
5. One Foot in the Grave
6. Blackadder
7. Open All Hours
8. Porridge
9. Yes Minister
10. The Good Life

I can't believe the Good Life's in the top 10. Barbara's fit though.

6. One Foot in the Grave
7. Open all hours

It's been repeated loads of times.

Well I've never managed to catch a repeat of it anyway. Still it is more of a reason to have never heard of it than because 'it was an intelligent sitcom' which implies only intelligent people will of heard of it. I am sure there are young people who have never heard of it that are far more intelligent than an older person who has.

You cannot judge someones intelligence on whether they have heard of Yes Minister or not.
