I don't know Abbot & co but I agree that I did not laugh at these as much as some people, in fact I did not laugh much at all.

However I did like the Two Ronnies very much as well as the Goodies.

As much as I'm a fan of A&C - you can't beat Who's on First and one or two other skits, M&W are a whole lot better, I suppose it's because the writing is for mass TV rather than predominately Stage/Movies.

I don't mind Abbot and Costello that much, but prefer Groucho Marx, but then again Laurel and Hardy can't be beatbiggrin

I think some of it could be be attributed to age and M&W best years were possibly at a time when i was too young.

I remember all the two ronnies stuff and personally found them funniest

My humble opinion Ronnie Barker was an absolute genius and has not been equaled before or since..bow
