Yes, Black Adder II would be on my list if it if it were 10 sitcoms long.

Yes, it's almost impossible to narrow it down to five in one country. I love Rumpole of the Bailey, too, and Friends was excellent. Open All Hours. So many good ones.

Too many to pick from, but interesting to see which ones stand the test of time and which ones make your kids look at you like there must have been something wrong if you found that funny.

Friends and Dad's Army pass that test in our house.

Actually Friends has gone the opposite way for me, used to love it but now can't watch it, remember at the tine Seinfeld which never really hit off in the UK was the main rival to Friends in the states, I certainly watched more Friends but also liked Seinfeld. While in Colombia they started to show reruns of Seinfeld and watching it again it was still great so I'd put it in the top 5 and not Friends. Think that's the key, you liked it at first but can you watch it again years later?
