Jimzk5 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) I can't think of any sitcoms that have aged well, with the exception of Blackadder, and possibly Red Dwarf. Only fools, open all hours have aged well And the likely lads was out 20 years before I was born, still find them funny Edited May 27, 2013 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 I think that steptoe and son has aged well, considering it was shot in black and white it kind of gives it that timeless quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
