jesus held us if blackadder wins over only fools. Theres no comparsion. Blackadder and only fools are diffrant only fools is a lot more serious and had less laughs per eposide than blackadder but in my view thats its greatness

OFAH. Although I do think it should be Fawlty Towers or Black Adder.

YAWN Only Fools and Horses. Perhaps if they had ended when they were millionaires I'd agree, but they've been flogging the deceased equine of the title for too long.

I agree IMO. :)

Was it a BBC thing only or is it just that no other channel makes sitcoms of that quality? ;)

nah, i'am fine

Only fools is great think of the eposide with grandads death for example a mixture of emotions other than comedy. How many comedys make you feel sad and happy in 30 mins.

Rodneys wedding as well. Its like Comedy and Drama at the same time.
Blackadder and fawtly towers cannot do this.

Theres more to TV than quick laughs.

Other shows which are great are dramas such as State of play, BBC One-off dramas, sometimes ITV dramas.

Also Drama films
-Shawshank redemtion
-Green Mile
-Painist
-Mystic river

Drama Rocks as does comedy.

I LOVE ONLY FOOLS

sorry bout that

Yeah, but we are talking about Comedy (which can be just quickly laughs). Fools and Horses was good in the late eighties and early nineties (specially the episode where Del bought a load of dodgy blow up dolls), but in recent times, it has been over sentimental.

I just happen to think Blackadder and Fawlty towers (neither of which have, IMO, aged).

comedy is more effective if you have real characters with depth. anyway its greatest sitcom
