Default The dead art of sitcom
Best situation comedy programmes people? As a huge amount of current writers have proved, it's not easy to make a great one. Who do you think do it better, the British or the Americans?

I would say my favourites are probably

Spaced, Han****, Porridge, Father Ted and Seinfeld.

I hate American sitcoms & just don't find them funny at all.

I will never understand anyone who thinks Friends is funnier than Father Ted.

I don't see many British SitComs, but Arrested Development and Curb your enthusiasm were great.

Because it broke practically every rule of television & is still being copied to this day.
