Are we allowed to mention Rising Damp in this day and age?
Best anime ever.
Don't see why not, Rigsby is regularly routed for the bigot he undoubtedly is. One of the few of that era that has stood up well I think.

I thought it was hilarious but I actually thought Philip played by Don Warrington was funnier than Rigsby.

Yeah, Philip constantly shows Rigsby up for what he is, time after time. The thing is for really good comedies or in this case sitcoms I find they have to be tinged by tragedy, Rising Damp is full of pathos also Steptoe and Son (which I can barely watch it is so depressing sometimes) and I guess the common thread extends through into the UK and US Office. David Brent just wanted a friend, likewise Michael Scott. etc
No Manchester United FC?
Another one I thought the supporting actor was funnier.
Much like Philip in RD, Harold was better as the sarcastic son.
Tragic too in many ways, as you said.
Last of the Summer Wine was a comedy?Only Fools
Friends
Blackadder
IT Crowd

Mind Your Language. Mindlessly racist.
Came close: Big Bang Theory, Third Rock From the Sun, Cheers, Roseanne, that Bucket lady and Last of the Summer Wine.
Yeah, Harold carried the show.
Rossiter was astonishingly good as Rigsby.

He was fantastic if a little obvious.
I just preferred the dry humour of Philip.
Rossiter's timing and delivery were incredible.
"Desmond?...bloooody Desmond?"
Gets me everytime.

No love for trailer park boys?
Aye, from me anyway
True, that vote was from nostalgia. Replace with Are You Being Served.
My sisters liked Moesha. It was a good show. True colors was another good one.
Holly Robinson
I had a huge crush on her
I mentioned it. I liked Bottom as well

Sweet to see another mention for the KoQ! Germany loves Doug, right?
I ended up only watching KoQ for Arthur. And Spence, I guess.

Yeah, i don't know how it is in the UK or in the US but in Germany KoQ was really popular for a long time. Well most german people will instantly know that i am from Germany, when they see my list. Most of them were really huge here.
And Carrie was hooot.

(Still is btw, check out Kevin can Wait)As far as I know Germany is the only country, outside of the US, where they have released the show on Blu Ray! Actually, I’m not even sure the BRs were released in the US at all.

Yeah, a bit weird to me, as i think it was a really good sitcom. And many over here really enjoyed it. I read that Scrubs for example was not so popular in the US too, which is weird to me too. It was massive over here.
But i guess german humour is a bit different.
And i am also wondering how HIMYM and BBT can make only so few lists over here. I thought they are among the obvious GOATs.
