All are funny, but only to a point. When they drag on for too many years, it just gets old. <br />With Frasier, I so often wanted to smack both Frasier and Niles, for spending so much time over analysing everything instead of just getting on with life more. <br /><br />Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-77294824711152479902014-05-06T10:08:41.259+01:002014-05-06T10:08:41.259+01:00Another crazy one that you should watch is Malcolm...Another crazy one that you should watch is Malcolm in the Middle!DrBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-17120409691324508962014-05-05T22:24:45.457+01:002014-05-05T22:24:45.457+01:00Hi Jeremy,

You end up forgetting how fresh and funny it was when it first arrived.<br /><br /> Loved "Soap" ("Confused? You will be"), loved MWK (Al Bundy is Da Man)loved "Police Squad" and loved "Sledge Hammer"<br /><br /> For a big chunk of the 80s and early 90s I think I preferred US sitcoms to what the British were doing. <br /><br />Great list.
