Think we're up to about 20 plus entries already.

Somehow I'd missed off shows I love (was watching Arnold Rimmer clips on YouTube yesterday morning).

Might need to do a World Cup style elimination instead of a poll. Can VT do that without faff?

Do you not remember the animal world cup? VT did that faff

Nope, and now feeling I somehow missed a great thread. 

Dog won right? If it didn't then I've lost all hope for this site.

Added it after Pete - brainfart as it's one off my all time faves.

I know! 😝

Also, genuine question this time, what was that Matt Berry one where he was a copper in sort of Victorian London? Channel 4 maybe. It had the most excellent swearing since…ooh, what was that political one, y’know with the sweary Scotsman? And then they did a London Olympics one and a BBC one - W11A was it? Armando, very smart guy.

Brainfarts are common early in the day.

I always feel slightly weird about putting US sitcoms alongside those from the UK. I just like they’re a different animal and so comparison feels off, somehow.

Anyway, I know it’s dreadful now, but the 7 or 8 years when The Simpsons was wonderful needs acknowledging.

And no one has said The Thick Of It and I think that’s possibly one of the best, certainly of the past 20 or so years.

 

Edit - although Pete has referenced “the sweary Scotsman” up above I see so maybe it has kinda been covered.

Year of the Rabbit. Still hoping for a second series.

It's difficult to suggest anything that hasn't been mentioned.

But I raise your Operation Good Guys (what a show that was, I believe they might be making a comeback series) with Fun at the Funeral Parlour. 

Also, of the obvious shows I'm surprised not to have seen the Royle Family or I'm Alan Partridge yet.
