I forgot Family Guy. Perhaps the most consistently-funny show on TV at the moment.

I agonised a lot over including Python but I haven't seen the series since I was a kid when they repeated them on the telly in the 80s and a lot of comedies I liked then just don't make me laugh now - The Young Ones being the main example.

I'd like to see the New Statesman and Drop the Dead Donkey again - I loved those when I was younger - we used to watch them as a family (including my grand parents), same with the Young Ones.

I can't recall any great modern comedy -the oldies are the best, no time for USA ones either apart from Seinfeld
Partridge and The Office show genius - but in very small doses- and light years away from the true greats.
Twelfth has my closest matches apart from MASH

In no particular order, but more than 5.

Third Rock.
The IT Crowd.
Fawlty Towers (so few episodes though.)
Rising Damp.
Dad's army.
Steptoe and son.
One foot in the grave.
Nearest and dearest.
Last of the summer wine.

"Served all through first world war Carter."

What was the show called?
