My top three are easy and most people would guess that it's Only Fools, Blackadder and Fawlty Towers.... however, after that it would have got interesting, I think Porridge would be up there, so would Keeping Up Appearances, Vicar of Dibley, The Young Ones, Men Behaving Badly... so many good ones.

I would have kicked Phoenix Nights out of it completely for The Brittas Empire. I forgot to mention The Good Life would be up there in mine too.

Yes Minister was absolute genius and I'd rank it at number one personally. I also voted for Blackadder and Red Dwarf.

Mine are Men Behaving Badly, Fawlty Towers and The Good Life. Tough decision though as there are many good ones up there.

Noticed Robin's Nest was missing though......

There's a maximum of 25 options though, there are a couple that could have made it in, but let's be honest wouldn't have got many votes anyway.

How can you not include The Royle Family? Or Mr Bean? Those are my faves.

Cos there was only 25 places and there was already an argument about The Brittas Empire. I got bored and just pressed "post".

Mr Bean would never win anyway - it was funny when it was new, it just looks weird now...

I've changed it slightly cos people were saying they couldn't decide. You can now vote up to FOUR (not three) so stick another one on if you want. You can also edit your previous choice.

Voting closes on Friday afternoon.

Go.

Three is easy... four is more difficult. I'm going to have to think about this now (but I'm glad you changed it.)

They are all so old though. What about Peep Show, The Inbetweeners, Gavin and Stacy and the I.T crowd?

I chose Only Fools, One Foot in a Grave, Men Behaving Badly and Fawlty Towers. I would have voted for George and Mildred if that was an option.

I appreciate the number of options were limited, but I'd have gone for Green Wing and Free Agents too if I could.

Green Wing is a damn good shout!

I love that Green Wing is on Hulu here in the States because I was peeved we couldn't buy it on DVD/rent it. I love that show so much. I only like Gavin and Stacey because I have a weird crush on Rob Brydon.

Rab C Nesbitt was good in it's most recent run, I'm quite a fan of Scottish humour anyway. Problem now is, nothing can reach the standard of all the old stuff. I'll vote anyway.
(The reference to Piers Morgan in the last episode of Rab C Nesbitt was most amusing by the way Foots, as was the infamous urinal rant in the episode before it :))

Men Behaving Badly
Bottom
The Young Ones
Only Fools

Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, Red Dwarf and Father Ted were mine. Brittas Empire may have replaced Father Ted if it was an option. I was also obsessed with 'Allo 'Allo and Keeping Up Appearences when I was a kid, but they're difficult to compare with the others as I haven't watched them much since.

Butterflies! I knew there was a 70s one that hadn't been included. I love Butterflies. Wendy Craig being all reflective in her 70s floaty dresses...it's underrated.

Rab C never quite tickled my fancies for some reason and I didn't see any of the recent stuff. If he was bolloxing the evil Morgan then fair enough though :)

Sat and today are up
