Serendippily Jan 2019 12:57pm, 4 Jan 2019 10,792 posts	0 Serendippily even the sitcoms I liked were killed by a) death by repeat or b) too many series flogging a dead horse. Some of them had a moment of brilliance - Alan partridge superfan comes to mind - which makes me applaud from a distance but not willingly rewatch. Family guy (which doesn’t feature) is one of the few things that can still make me laugh despite endless repeats. Most of the cringe characters are just unpleasant to revisit. So I hope porridge gets through because it was gently charming underneath. And father ted.
