No it wasn't. I hated it and found it hideously unfunny, as did most people I know
Really?? you chose the fast show and green wing, and you're moaning about me picking friends????? Maybe we'll ask someone for the viewing figures for the shows you picked, versus friends. I'm willing to bet anything that friends was way more popular, and has more fans than both of them added together.0 -

Popularity means nothing: the Sun is the best read newspaper but it's total shite. Likewise the X Factor is most watched TV programme at present but it is utter garbage0 -

In the 70s two of the most popular comedy shows were "On The buses" and "Man About The House" <-- not generally considered classics these days. The genius we know as Spike Milligan was shunted to the back end of BBC2 where 3 people and a dog watched him.Hello! I've been here over a month now.0 -
1. Only Fools and Horses - all time classic, no comaprison, just quality after quality....
2. Fawlty Towers - Just simply delightful. Real laugh out loud stuff.
3. There is no third.... none match up."Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0 -

There have been some great comedies since but these guys were the pioneering Kings of Comedy.Life is like a roll of toilet paper; long and useful, but always ends at the wrong moment. Anon.

Right, I've decided that out of all those mentioned, The Day Today wins. Fight amongst yourselves for second and third0

1. Fawlty Towers.
2. Father Ted.

PS:- Popularity means nothing. It just shows that a massive amount of people have nothing better to do. Fawlty Towers v Friends? Pah! No contest.None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0
