I occasionally watch a bit of My Family as I like Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wannamaker, but I don't think I've laughed once. A real waste of talent.
The same goes fro Green Green Grass. Boycie was funny in Fools and Horses, but he was essentially a one-trick horse and he could get away with it when he was part of a bigger cast and had limited exposure. There isn't enough there to sustain a single programme, let alone a series.
I never found Ab Fab funny, despite all the hype. Jam & Jersusalem ditto. Most of French & Saunders' stuff leaves me cold.
Allo Allo and My Hero come to mind, especailly since they made so many series of both of them even though they were extremely poor.
I think most of them have been totally unfunny - too numerous to mention - but AbFab, Last of the Summer Wine, Jam and Jerusalem come to mind quickly.
'Last Of The Summer Wine' and 'Open All Hours' are, in my humble opinion, a complete waste of time.

Other turkeys I can remember from the dark 70s were 'Can We Get On With It Now, Please?', 'Take A Letter, Mr Jones' and the unforgivable 'Mind Your Language'.
In fact The Office, Extras and One Foot in the Grave are the only comedies I can name instantly that I have really liked over the years - oh and Keeping up Appearances.
The one with Jasper Carrot and the woman from Goodness Gracious Me was awful!!!

Also the one with Nicholas Lyndhurst and Celia Imrie!!

Sorry, don't know the programme names!!
Was the office funny?Had not realised
Oh yes, very funny to loads of people, but equally very unfunny to others!! I loved it - very ironic and extremely clever and so underplayed.
Keeping Up Appearances
My Family
The Detectives
The Nineteenth Hole
Little Miss Jocelyn
The Young Ones
Brittas Empire
My all time worse - No Place Like Home
Ronnie Corbett's 'Sorry', Last of the Summer Wine, My Hero, Murder Most Horrid, Ab Fab...in fact anything by Jennifer Saunders, Piglet Files...all terrible
Little Miss Jocelyn is certainly streets ahead - I'd like them to show us what they showed the audience when they recorded the 'laugh track' - it obviously wasn't this turgid stereotypical rubbish!

Other than that - 'Birds Of A Feather' - three dreadful southern harpies drivelling on at each other - and some people (The BBC included!) seem to think they are appealing characters - appaling is nearer the mark!
Last of the Summer Wine
My Family
My Hero
Good Life


So unfunny, i'd rather watch paint dry in the rain

Hmmm, no surprises there my choice would be:

are you being served
last of the summer wine

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the woeful "Duty Free".
I foun 'the league of gentlemen' disturbing!
Babes In The Wood, despite the eye candy it was crap.

Hi-de-Hi always made me glad we could afford holidays to Ireland.
Everything thats been mentioned plus ANYTHING with Lenny Henry in.11
Well, obviously I'm from a different age group to you lot cos I think 'Last of the Summer Wine' 'My Family' and 'Hello Hello' are superb. I hate the Office, which should be put in the waste basket or shredder. I don't like 'the Young Ones' or 'Bottom'. Spin - off series are never as good as the originals.
Men behaving badly ...awlful
Good night something dreadful
Geoff Palmer and whats her name .say no more
Likely Lads Go awaay
Anything with canned laughter
Terry &June On the buses,Sid james with Patricia whats her name
Vicar of where ever
