just wondered how many people from this site watch this quality t.v. show lol cos i know theres been good and bad things wrote about it,its a bit like marmite either people love it or hate but which one are you the lover or the hater...?????// personally i love it lol

that ralf little is a self-congratulatory berk. he is a tosser irl.
i can bear the royle family because nana and jim are so well-acted and the series so well-written. but i don't like him at all. sorry.

it just doesn't stand up to classics like fawlty towers.

I think its excellent

It's crap, but not as crap as *shudder* Will and Grace.

quality program, dunno bout will and grace though sod that

who mentioned will and grace ffs.........i think 2 pints of lager is good for a laugh certainly not a classic but okay

It's OK but not nearly as good as some of the other comedy shows. I laugh more at the stuff in Demmerz's Arms.

Absolutely awful obvious comedy......designed for people who can't understand decent wit and humour (e.g The Office, Alan Partridge).

Anyone who finds it funny has a screw loose if you ask me!

Awful, watched about 20 minutes of it once, never again.

For comedy I'd go for the timeless Alan Partridge (particularly the 'Travel Tavern' series ), pretty much anything by Chris Morris (Day Today, Brass Eye etc.) or more recently the brilliant Curb Your Enthusiasm.

As for Will & Grace, if I happen to catch a glimpse of it while I'm flicking through channels, I find it very hard to stop myself putting my fist through the telly. Especially if I hear that squeaky voiced bint, somone please execute her immediately......

the voices of the overpaid wasters on friends are grating too.

Hats off to the Alan Partidge aficionados... the series in the Travel Tavern, along side Phoenix Nights, are where it's at for me.

Have you heard there's going to be an Alan Partidge film?? My bet is it will be crap, but I'll still go and see it anyway.

Will and Grace and 2 pints of lager are undoubtedly terrible comedy shows (in my opinion), but my vote for absolute worst goes to a short-lived remake of the American sitcom, Married with Children... it was called Married for Life and starred... Russ Abbot. It was truly truly woeful, the only bit I can remember was when they try to get out of a restaurant without paying by holding up one of Russ Abbot's shoes and threatening the waiter with the smell.

I'm cringing just thinking about it.

friends is class lol sum people have a dry sense of humour, i like alan partridge but not a big fan of the office, my kind of comedy is just off the cuff good comedy, i mean i like the bad boys movies because of the action but also because i find it very funny just like the fresh prince of belair. sum comedy shows go with the personality's and my personality is a bit crazy always up for a laugh etc hence the reason ill watch anything that makes me laugh...

each to their own.

for some odd reason i quite enjoy keeping up appearances it is so hammy.

What about Some Mothers Do 'Ave Em? Its so damn funny!

Frank Spencer anyone? Oooooh Betty, the cats done a whoopsy!



Genius!

ha ha!

There are a number of things that you can guarantee during any episode of Keeping up Appearances;

Onslow's car will backfire

Hyacinth will get a call from her son (Sheridan) demanding money

'Daddy' will go missing

'Daddy' will reappear at the end wearing a WW2 helmet

Hyacinth will be startled by a barking dog from Onslow's car, and fall into the hedge


I know there's more, anyone wish to add anything?
