least funny sitcom

[chuby]

I'll go along with Gimme Gimme Gimme ,utter dross.Last of the summer wine,used to be brilliant years ago,now they are just churning out stuff to keep the remaining actors in work!!!.

For me the best stuff,was fairly short lived,ie Fawlty towers.

Chuby.

not impressed with 'Some mothers do ave em' just to silly to be funny

[SharSam]

Watched a bit of the one thats on on friday nights, can't remember what it's called & don't want to, Amanda Holden & Jamie Theakston are in it-- that says it all-- utter c**p.

One of my favourites was 'My Family' but that started to drag a bit.

Golden Rule for sitcom's

 

If it hasn't made you laugh in the first ten minutes, it is never going to!

 

So switch off or change channels

 

Applied that rule, so only watched ten minutes of :- 2.4 . Men behaving badly . Some mothers have em. Butterflies(ugh). Royales

 

However, unlike other posters,I found 'Allo 'Allo hilarious,

 

and going back a bit, two gems were "Brass" (Timothy West) and "Chance in a Million" (Brenda Blethyn and Simon Callow)

Anyone remember them?

[Peter Sharpe]

I never got the chance to find out if The Thin Blue Line was funny or otherwise. The ridiculous canned laughter forced me to switch off within a minute.

The League of Gentlemen was brilliant. You have to have a warped sense of humour to appreciate it and I realise it is unfunny to most. The Amanda Holden thing was a clever bit of marketing to propel both the "stars" back into ppopularity. She did look cute in it though, so it must have worked on me.

As for the least funny, how about Will and Grace.

Loads of neurotic people screaming at eachother. Great.

What about "Dinner Ladies". A real retro to the seventies but without the natural charm of some of the greats. They even tried to ressurect some of the old catch phrases like "My father was a desert rat you know".

Just trivial nonsense about a non existent type of work place.

Victoria Wood is usually a great comedian and writer but on this one she doesn't get any of her off centre wit over at all.

I think the telly sucks in general. Comedies aren't funny as you've said. Documentries are clearly made up these days,

"Look we found a very small piece of KFC bone in the garden, therefore we KNOW that a bronze age butcher must have lived here with his wife and 3 children, this is the way he dressed and this is what he probably did at night, this is the music he listened to and his dogs name was Kevin". Learned that from a bone did you?

The Top Ten Greatest Ever Top Tens Since Last Weeks Top Tens...ever. Arrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhh!!

Reality TV. When will it stop?? I don't want to know how Tara Palmer Tomkinson washes here a**e. Well that's not entirely true but you know what I mean.

'Reboot Wares'...'Tattle Bots'...'Scrapheap Chunder' and all the other sad gizmo rubbish we are offered. Who cares if little Bob and his dad Bob made a "Destructorbutt" from old cans of Tennants and called it Bob after thier dog Bob. The only good bit about those shows is watching little Bob's face when Bob gets torn apart by "Corborundum Discator" in less that a nanosecond. "Didn't he do well?...and he only spent 8 months making it. Give him a round of applause"....EASY! EASY! EASY!....the crowd chants.

'House Wreckers' and suchlike with screechy Linda Barking and an ever increasing collection of gay interior designers. Give me a hammer and I'll show you what it's for Linda!

'Pop Idol' etc. So wheres Alex now. I said she was crap and there you go. Obscurity.

Rant over...anyone want to buy a telly?

[rob.i]

bloomin eck andy that was some rant ,funny thing is i agree,good job weve got fishing and AN to keep us sane [well nearly]

[John S]

I agree, good rant Andy. In my opinion, good enough to qualify for the Top 10 Rants on AnglersNet

 

Take care
