Harry Worth?

She says yes that’s him! Well remembered. Another name I will have to google😁

MissAdventure

As time goes by was good, and also the one with Paul Nicols in, I think his name was.
He had jilted his girlfriend st the altar, but they still loved each other..

Just Good Friends - Vince and Penny. I loved that.

Harry Worth?

I’ve got Mum here with me tonight and just asked her about old series, she says Rag Trade, something called Bootsie And Snudge? Also Hancocks Half Hour and one she can’t remember the name of but says he looked like Harry Hill a bit and was a gentle comedy🧐😁and lived on Acacia Avenue.

I really liked Dad’s army and Rising Damp. I also liked an American sitcom called Rhoda, was a spin off from The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Was a sitcom called Just Good Friends in the early 80s, I loved it, especially because a very good looking Paul Nicholas was in it.

Used to love Rhoda as well

Flappergirl I loved Mary Tyler More including the theme tune

I loved the Mary Tyler Moore Show and then subsequently the Dick Van Dyke show. Always liked Dick Van Dyke and he is a wonderful dancer too. That was the early 60's. In the late 60's there was a spoof spy series (the name of which I can't remember) where the protagonist used to enter a phone booth to get into secret headquarters. Taxi and Mash were also absolute classics.

For British sitcoms I loved most of those already mentioned but would like to add Tony Hancock and Sid James and Are you Being Served.

I hadn’t heard of a lot of comedy series mentioned here so must be off to google.

A Bit of a Do with David Jason! I remember exactly what I was doing while watching it - on my first maternity leave. 1989.

I remember it very well, all weddings, anniversaries and christening parties with the same guests often swapping partners.Well written and funny.
Also Porridge which was wonderful both the script and the acting.I liked Ever Decreasing Circles, Outside Edge ( cricket)
Sorry ( language Timothy!)😄

As time goes by was good, and also the one with Paul Nicols in, I think his name was.
He had jilted his girlfriend st the altar, but they still loved each other..

Loved bread used to fancy joey

I watched an episode of ‘Bread’ by chance recently. Loved the mother and the girls with their fashions and hairdos. I have seen many such sights in Liverpool on a Saturday night!

Man About the House, Porridge and Citizen Smith. In Citizen Smith there was a very accomplished actress who played the mother of the girlfriend of Robert Lindsay's character " Wolfie". She always called him "Foxie" by mistake and that always amused me......
How could I have forgotten the brilliant Ronnie Barker in Porridge and Going Straight....
I also liked Penelope Keith in "To the Manor Born". Would you class Carla Lane's "Butterflies" as a sitcom ?
You have to view all the old ones in the context of their contemporaneous cultures or everybody starts getting their knickers in a twist.........

I LOVED Love Thy Neighbour! Unfortunately it wouldn`t be allowed airtime nowadays, but was extremely funny.
There was another sitcom, called The Wackers, set in Liverpool, very funny, but taken off after only 2 or 3 episodes, there were a lot of complaints about it apparently.

Another one showing on BritBox recently was Three up two down with Angela Thorne I also loved robins nest

Bless this house and Love they neighbour.

Ooh, The ghost and Mrs Muir!

Would 'Bewitched' count as a sit com?
'Golden Girls?

A Bit of a Do with David Jason! I remember exactly what I was doing while watching it - on my first maternity leave. 1989.

My favourite was Man About The House with the lovely Richard O'Sullivan (I met him and he WAS lovely). It wasn't hilarious but when I look at the repeats now, it's the fashions and the fun. It's so nostalgic. I say to my husband 'I had a dress/shoes like that'.

I remember Dear John. Ralph Bates died far too young.

Does anyone remember "Dear John"? It was on round about mid 1980s and starred Ralph Bates and Belinda Lang. John had been left by his wife and was living in a bedsit, and he joins the 1-2-1 singles group. It was written by John Sullivan and I thought it was far better than Only Fools & Horses, being both very funny and very moving.

How about 'Going straight'?
A spin off from 'Porridge, I think?
I loved the theme song.

And 'Citizen Smith' and 'Billy Liar'?
I must have spent my childhood glued to the tv!

Nearly forgot Porridge
