Has anyone watched 'Roger and Val have just got in?'I had a go at one in the first series and one in the second.
Now, I'll watch Dad's Army, Steptoe and Son, Allo Allo (sometimes) and most of the classics. I was never keen on Rising Damp and can't bear The Office (don't like Ricky Gervais on principle).

But how did this Dawn French/Alfred Molina thing even get a first series, never mind a second? To my mind, it's all 'sit' and no 'com'. Painfully unfunny and embarrassing to watch, not to mention immensely self-serving and downright tedious.

It seems, from various blogs, that opinion is polarized, like with Marmite. Thoughts, please?

Keeping up Appearances.

That woman makes me angry just typing this. I'm not a massive fan of awkward humour anyway but normally I can at least watch it. That fking series sends me into a rage meltdown. It's not fking funny!

Utter, utter ste.

I agree about the new series but the older stuff with Charlie Sheene is brilliant!

The first few series with Nick were funny, but then he left to do BT adverts. frown

Big Bang Theory. I don't see why it's so popular at all, it just isn't funny!

+1.

+ the comic timing between her and Sheldon is just fantastic.

Have to say I used to agree, but it's easily my favourite tv show now. When you watch a few episodes and see all Sheldon's habits and ticks it becomes a lot funnier.

Miranda is st though

These threads are always totally pointless. Humour is so subjective that one person's hilarious side splitting entertainment is another man's penance.

And it should be in the TV forum too.
