Tried to watch only fools and horses a few times.. .couldnt get into it, although I hear it got better after the 3rd season so maybe I should start there.
Tried to watch Bottom a couple of times one of the most painful experiences of my life.
I really wish I could get ahold of Whoops Apocalypse.

I love the following shows:
Fawlty Towers
The Office
The Jonathan Ross Show
Little Britian
Keeping Up Appearances
Some Mothers Do Ave 'Em
Hi-De-Hi
'Allo 'Allo
I'm Alan Partridge
And. Last but not least
Worzel Gummidge (which no-one has mentioned. I know it's technically a childrens show but it's hilarious! I own the box set).
But Jonathan Ross and Ricky Gervais have to be the funniest comedians on the telly! And when they're together they're superurb! You can tell they get on well personally as well.

Why is there always somebody who doesn't understand "Top XX" and always feels the need to post every other comedy he knows, as if it brags about his knowledge.
