Blackadder was brilliant IMO... But it wasn't just Rowan Atkinson who made it, Tony Robinson, Steven Fry, Hugh Laurier and rick mayall as flashart.... f***ing brilliant..

Obviously, only fools and horses, fawty towers, etc

Used to like Game on which came a bit later...

 

There aren't decent sit cons now... It's all reality tv
