    Best sitcom of all time?

    Dont know if its because I'm Irish but the humor is absolutely timeless, very few shows can still make me burst out laughing no matter how many times I see it.

    I really think nothing else comes close.

    I haven't seen all of it, but from the episodes I have seen it's great. Hilarious at times.

    Still prefer a few other sitcoms, but it's definitely up there.

    definetly one of the best for me in my top 5 anyway.

    Only Fools and Horses, Still Game, Rab C Nesbitt and Benidorm are the other 4 in no particular order.

    would love to see that. Used to have one of the still game dvds and that had ford and gregg doing commentary, was brilliant. Gave mark reilly pelters.

    Yeah, it's worth listening to at least once. Matthews and Linehan are really funny together.

    Definitely one of the greatest comedies of all time. Even 20 years later it’ll have you in stitches!


    I see Rab C has a couple of mentions as well on here as well, always thought it was a bit Scottish overkill to be honest. Not in the same league as Still Game!
