Father Ted v Fawlty Towers

[HOGEPH]

Whilst Fawlty Towers is considered by many to be the pinnacle in situation comedy. I think Father Ted knocks it into a cocked hat.

Has any sitcom come close since then?

[David87M3]

No I dont think so Faulty towers was great, But To be honest I also like Allo Allo.

Completely stupid and appeals to my sence of humor

In answer to the thread title, Fawlty Towers

In answer to your other question, no.

[Steamer]

Both excellent - but they are from different eras, I dont think a comparison can be made between the two.

[Baby Huey]

Fawlty Towers brilliant, Father Ted brilliant, very hard to separate.

In all honesty, I'd say Spaced was better than both.

Fawlty Towers by a mile.....but my fave's from that era have to be Red Dwarf and Blackadder.

Nothing has come close recently to Blackadder, Father Ted, or Fawlty Towers.

What's going on?

Quite good but gets very repetitive. Also it has Graham Norton in, which is not good.

Mid seventies competition for Fawlty Towers was Dad's Army. Also very good.

Best comedy ever? Sgt Bilko.

Agreed, Bottom was excellent, but wasn't that prior to Father Ted..?
