I voted Fawlty Towers mainly because it maintained the very high standard throughout all episodes. Its hard to judge though, Only Fools and Horses has definately given me more laughs than Fawtly Towers but I guess Only Fools gets devalued because of it going downhill.

I was abit annoyed Phoenix Nights and The Office didn't fair higher as I do think they are genuine classics which are up there in the top 5 comedy's of all time, if not the best. I spose it takes time for programs to filter down to everyone though and to get established as classics. My dad still refuses to watch The Office or Phoenix Nights because he doesn't like that sort of stuff, even although he's never watched it.
