Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

As always in deathmatchland we start off with forgotten/obscure British sitcoms, move on to crap sitcoms, then someone mentions a septic show. Outside of Married with Children, I can't think of any American sitcom that was anything but crap.

Basil Brush was a chirpy, likeable little chap.

I liked him.

He’ll win this. Then if we do a ventriloquist’s dummy DM I’d take him to see off Emu, Nookie Bear, that fucking arse Orville and even Lamb Chop to secure the double W.

I think it's unfair to judge 70's and 80's sitcoms by today's standards. The world is a completely different place now* Just because people who weren't even born when programmes were first aired get "offended" by something, doesn't mean it wasn't funny at the time.

* To illustrate this, I had a conversation with a 20 year old last week who had never heard of Frank Skinner. Never mind Benny Hill or Dick Emerey, he had no idea who Frank Skinner was. Imagine his reaction if he was exposed to On the Buses or 'allo 'allo?

Quite Nico.

I like a lot of American sitcoms. MASH and Cheers for the nostalgia, OMITB because it is freaking *epic*. Silicone Valley (comedy drama I suppose but one of my favourite shows of all time). Scrubs (ditto on all counts). 30 Rock (like don’t love but it’s an institution).

I remember finding him pretty unfunny even as a small child. Youtube clips don't seem so bad though:
