Hey Mr J I hope all is well!
But Fawlty Towers the #1 funny show? Funnier than Sgt Bilko (one of my many role models)? :-)

I love Father Ted, but have only been able to see it sporadically. BBC America doesn't seem to have any regular schedule for it, and my local PBS will show an odd episode every now and then. I guess I'll have to break down and buy the DVDs.
To: HitmanNY
Well, it's my #1 - others' mileage may vary. ;)
I must confess I've never seen Sgt. Bilko, though.

Laurie & Fry were also hilarious in Blackadder II through IV. Absolutely. Blackadder is my #3. ;)

Haha just kidding around! Phil Silvers on Sgt Bilko is some of the funniest tv shows of all time, up there with The Honeymooners and The Odd Couple. Great stuff!

Keeping Up Appearances is another good BBC comedy. Its about a woman who is always putting on airs. Funny.

I bought the box set with all 3 series (seasons to us yanks)for 70 dollars, but they're well worth the price.

Well, it's awfully hard to rank really classic shows like Fawlty Towers, Seinfeld, and the current gem Arrested Development, but all are knee-slappers and brilliant in their own special twisted way. I gave my wife the boxed set of Fawlty Towers videos for Valentine's Day some years ago and we still enjoy watching them. Some really inspired episodes in there. Whenever we visit Germany you can bet one of us will caution, "Whatever you do, don't mention the War!"
Highly recommended.

Well, it's awfully hard to rank really classic shows like Fawlty TowersMy favorite moment from that entire series is when Basil's car breaks down and he starts raving. He goes out of camera sight and the next thing we see is him waling his car with a tree branch, yelling he's going to give it a damn good hiding or thrashing.
