All the sitcoms you have listed are crap I realise that most of them are old and were probably funny 'back in the day' but they just don't cut it these days
So what cuts it these days? Shows like Only Fools and Horses were proper comedy written intelligently and they were just good clean fun to watch.
That was good but not the best ever. By the way what's with the slowness and downtime all about today?
This (seems to be the said thing these days) American sitcoms like Friends and Scrubs **** all over anything the Brits could make
Bullshit Only Fools still craps over most new sitcoms Yes bland boring characters, predictable storyline and canned laughter is sooooooooooooo good
Only Fools And Horses was by far the best of it's day. Of the more up to date one's Friends comfortably. Don't think you can really compare the two but both the best of their generation for me!
Friends was a soap opera full of teen angst with the odd canned laugh thrown in. "Like, oh my god, I'm so pretty and I have a good job and I live in a big apartment in the middle of New York but my life is just so hard!" Makes you want to puke.
Just to add another american sitcom into the mix - Two and a half men It's no coincidence that the actors in these sitcoms are/were some of the highest paid in the world
