1. Monty Python. - Some classics I've heard many times over but still nearly split my sides.
2. Going back a few years but used to really like "Three of a Kind"
3. Bremner, Bird and Fortune - More down to whose expense the joke is at.

2. Porridge - ditto
3. Black Adder - very clever and funny

Open all hours never quite lived up to expectations for me following Porridge and Only fools and horses (which I forgot..)

I rate Open All Hours highly, reckon it may be in my top 5.  Very cleverly written, and perfectly cast...

any show with canned laughter is obviously not funny if you need to be told when to laugh.  Most american ones are like this.

I thought "only fools"although often brilliant was a bit of a "minder" rip off,which in turn was a complete rip off from "Budgie"(anyone remember Budgie,with Adam Faith?)
