    Id put Seinfeld in top 3 and lose ELR from my top 3.
    ELR , though not the worst is run of mill stuff like Rosanne, King of Queens etc so any of them could be in the worst group

    Off the top of my head

    Best:
    Friends (Series 1-4, went downhill after the London episode and never properly recovered)
    Frasier
    Arrested Development (Series 1-2, and some of Series 3; saw the first couple of episodes of the reboot and they weren't good)

    Honourable mentions: Father Ted, Black Books, 30 Rock, Flight of the Conchords, Fawlty Towers

    Worst:
    2 Broke Girls (I only saw one episode but it was beyond terrible.)
    Mrs Brown's Boys (I like Brendan O'Carroll as a person but I don't get his "comedy" at all)
    Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em (that main character and his squeaky voice were unbearable)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 19,228 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    My favourites would be, Father Ted, IT crowd and always sunny in philadelphia. With peep show, inbetweeners and two and a half men close.

    Worst I'm not sure of as if I don't like it I don't watch it.

    It’s an awful show, but I’d love to bang Lily and Robin from HIMYM so I’ll nominate that as my favourite.

    Malcolm in the Middle was great.

    Early doors is so underrated, would definitely be in my top 3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    Great to see Taxi get a mention earlier. Currently reworking my way through season one and every bit as good as i recall.

    De Vito, Christopher Lloyd, Andy Kaufman. Just wonderful acting and scripts.
