It's a national treasure. It's just tainted by the fact that the "falling through the bar" scene has been voted the most hilarious scene in sitcom history, and people can't look past that and appreciate the rest of it.

It's like Dad's Army and the "Don't tell them Pike!" line.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhY-Y0I8DkY
Although really funny, the fact that people praise it as one of the best moments ever actually harms the show, because people will look it up on youtube and make up their mind about the entire show.

Same thing happened with Four Candles.

Around the time The Office made non-laugh track sitcoms super hip, OFAH was suddenly held up as an example of everything unfashionable about british comedy. It was always a mainstream show and sat apart from alternative comedy, but it took a real revisionist beating during the early '00s. Hipsters really shit on it despite it being one of UK's most loved shows of all time.

>>87220563
now that was an awful 'comedy'

>>87216806
This isn't true of all Britcoms, but most of the greats were about people in a hopeless situation.
>Adrift in space, millions of years after everyone you ever knew died of old age.
>Travelling through space in your pyjamas because that's what you were wearing when Earth was destroyed.
>A father and son sharing a house while running their rag and bone business.
>A market trader living in a flat with his nephew and uncle.
>Mismatched flatmates from university still live together while they both fail at their mismatched lives.
>Young prisoner sharing a cell with an older prisoner.

This is very different to most of the big american comedies that I've seen. The closest would be the put-upon dad Married With Children type.

And even then Al had a hot wife and a nice big house. The US can't celebrate being poor, ugly and stupid, they're not programmed for it. Their shows understand self-deprecation but they're always tinged with an undercurrent of success and/or glamour.

Yeah, even their losers are doing well.
Frasier would lose every week but he had a radio show. lived in a stylish apartment with a great view, and occasionally banged a 9.

Compare that to Dave Lister. They were hopelessly lost in space with a hologram of a knobhead, a male robot and a male humanoid cat.
A constant reminder that anything that survived from Earth would have evolved into something else by now.
But even before Lister was in this mess he was still a loser, even by 4chan standards.

I haven't but I just googled some of it and I saw a bunch of tanned Hollywood-looking guys with good haircuts, which kind of proves my point.

You know Del and Rodney are brothers? The best comparison between British and American sitcoms are the episode of Frasier where he gets the tape of his lost show off of his biggest fan with the episode of Alan Partridge where he visits his biggest fan's house pretending it's his.

The best premise for any sitcom ever devised is three priests on a little island, I've loved it for so long and I wish to God Linehan wasn't suck an unbelievably gigantic cunt or at least I'd never found out because it genuinely tarnishes it for me knowing such a prick had anything to do with it. Even worse he's also in that episode of Alan Partridge.

The track Id like to pass on I think has got to be the theme from Grandstand by Keith Mansfield. I remember hearing this when it debuted back in 1975. Id been eating a plate of beans at my kitchen table one saturday lunch time, and I suddenly stopped mid mouthful, wrapped by this urgent melody that came wafting in from the tv, in the lounge. I hadnt been watching it, the televison had just been left on because of my wife Carol who wasnt very good at turning off electrical appliances. But far from being irritated, I was exhilerated. The song and its arrangement captured all the power and the thrill of live sport, and it pumped me full of pure zest. My life at this time hadnt exactly been overflowing with excitement. I mean I was eating beans alone at my kitchen table. But suddenly i felt adrenaline coursing through me and found myself wolfing down the beans... imagining myself in some sort of competative bean eating contest. Determined to scoop gold for Britain.
