Well, I thought the WHOLE point was to talk about our personal favourites!

It was, but then Tarks said:

although I'm not sure the best of British would beat the best of American in my eyes

So I thought a few reminders might be in order.

Well, I was really responding to Peepsie at that point, but judging by your list, I was right.

Although Dinnerladies is right up there, along with quite a few on your list. But I also agree with Roger that there is a large number of absolute turkeys in that lot. Unlike all previously mentioned shows.

IMO.

Some shows have really funny bits in them although they are dramas - for instance "Call the Midwife" - I don't know if men watch that show though - in our house the opening credits clears the room of my male family members.

Mork and Mindy...superb.

Married with Children...even better! We all morph into Al Bundy at some point in life.

Two I had forgotten about. Cheers, Tarks !

Can I also throw in "Soap"?  Surely a classic in anyone's eyes?  Confused? You wont be after this weeks edition of Soap. doo do do do dooo...do do do do.

You can indeed, Sandy, as far as I'm concerned. I did have 'Soap' on my mental list, but it somehow escaped before I could type it, as the others came thick and fast. It was a brilliant parody of all things soap, and in common with all the others, filled with wonderful characters, brilliantly portrayed. Theme tune came back instantly I read your "do doos".

I bought all three seasons on Dinnerladies for under 2 pounds second-hand on Amazon - even with postage and exchange rate it will be under $10 Cnd.  I have never seen them but at that price and on Tarq's recommendation, can't go wrong :-)

Ooh, 'Eck - famous last words, Diane!

I honestly believe you've picked up a genuine bargain. But of course, humour is entirely subjective, and although I was far from alone in my appreciation of Dinnerladies, it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Right, that's the disclaimer out if the way. You'll love it!!!

That's a neat trick. Can you read tea-leaves too?

I watched Soap again recently. I loved the moment the ventriloquist blindfolded his dummy and got it to 'see' what the ventriloquist was holding in his hand.

I knew I was setting you up as I was typing those words, Sandy. You didn't disappoint!

I'm a sucker for toilet humour...what can I say?

Did he get it correct?

Surely that would be a plunger?
