What is the greatest/worst sitcom ever and why?

i dont like sitcoms. they are shite

My opinion on the best is : The Office (UK version)

My opinion on the worst is either: My Family or The Brittas Empire

This would be more suited in the Television section.

Greatest sitcom - The Tickhttp://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e68/dave_kodak/tick.jpg


worst sitcom - Street Sharks http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e68/dave_kodak/250px-Streetsharks.jpg

Personally:
Favourite: Bottom (although Alan Partridge and The Office are close)

Worst: Friends

How ignorant.

He's right though, almost all of them are.

Best - Drew Carrey show, King of Queens, Lucky Louie, and Married with Children.

Worst - Dharma and Greg

I liked Bottom when I was 12, but it's dated badly. Also, I stopped being 12.

The other two are excellent. Friends isn't even nearly the worst.

The best has to be Curb Your Enthusiasm, though I love the two you mentioned as well.

Curb Your Enthusiasm has grown on me, didn't like it much at first, now it's continuously hilarious.

Yeah, it takes time to adjust to it. It's not like other shows in terms of humour or dialogue.

Is it true that most of the dialogue is improv?

Yeah. They have a short outline of the show, and some specific bits to put in, but the rest is improvised.

Amazing, that it becomes so coherent by the end. Also adds a nice flow to it that feels rather organic. Cool show.

The plotting is excellent. It's amazing how the threads end up linking together at the end.

I don't like Curb Your Enthusiasm. Just not funny, and the main guy (who's name I can't remember) annoys me.

whats up no laughter track?

CURB
PARTRIDGE
GARTH MERANGI
and a big nod to SPACED

worst??

GREEN WING...overated,smug,a cast full of irritants apart from the guy out of Jam/spaced and not nearly as clever as it thinks it
is

Vicar Of Dibley.......................woeful

Absolutely correct.

Phoneix Nights is good too.

Phoenix certainly is

Max n Paddy....................not so good

Max N' Paddy is pretty good but you're right, Phoenix Nights is better. I thought Spaced was pretty good but it was borderline annoying.
