Fawlty Towers is still a riot. Doc Martin is a good show. The odd couple had it's moments.

I don't recall seeing any of the others.

**MWRed** · 11-01-2009

All In The Family is my absolute favorite show ever.
I got the DVD collection of the series. The stuff they could get away with on TV back then is unreal. Not a chance of it nowadays.

The odd couple i love

**bassfisher6522** · 11-02-2009

Bj and the bear; That started my wanting to be a trucker.
Alice; Mel kiss my grits.....always funny
Barny Miller; Fish....which had a spin off called Fish....
Taxi; Andy Koffman and Danny Devito....just plan funny

Now butterflies: I haven't herd of that show....must check it out.

I haven't heard of butterflies, the rest I watched.

I have a dvd collectioon for part of 'Married... with Children' and all of 'Duckman'.

It is interesting the problems they get themselves into.

"All in the Family" [US] ran from 1971 to 1979 and tackled subjects then unheard of on US Television - subjects such as racism, homosexuality, women's liberation, rape, miscarriage, breast cancer, menopause and impotence. These were all previously boldly aired and covered by the TV show that it was loosely based on, the very successful "Till Death us do Part" [UK] which was on our screens from 1965 to 1975. Additionally, this show also tackled the subjects of Royalty, the British 'Establishment' [Society & Class] and British Politics. Both shows were extremely well written and relied on clever and educated use of the language for the laughs.

I'm am surprised that nobody has mentioned what I consider is by far the very best ever US Comedy ever produced......"M*A*S*H", a US show that ran from Sep 1972 to Feb 1983. This brilliant show is famous for having the final episode become the most watched TV episode in US TV history. If I recall correctly, the final episode went for more than an hour.

The show had everything, great characters, believable situations and wonderful interplay between the characters. There was always an underlying moral or subliminal message, and although largely viewed as a comedy, there was also much pathos and a touch of 'Greek Tragedy' in many episodes. In all, my most favourite, again principally because of the use of the English language and great acting. The US has a lot to thank Alan Alda for.

For anybody who served for any period of time in any of the Armed Forces, this show had a real 'edge' to it, and perhaps more meaning.......It made viewers think!

**JimJoe** · 11-03-2009

I remember when we got the movie 'M.A.S.H.' aboard ship. The officers thought it was a gung-ho war movie. Gee, were they in for a shock.

**MWRed** · 11-03-2009

M*A*S*H was great. I forgot about that one, even though it's on every day now when I get home from work.

All in the Family was great....pushed the envelope all the time...
