Dad's army is classic too...
Are you being served wasn't in my top ten. I couldn't abide John Inman
Probably didn't know how to put one on the thread -I struggled with my first attempts and had to ask Neil to intervene when i tried to put a poll -he was very understanding and accomodating.
No-one is born all-seeing and all-knowing...
Have looked at his profile and the posts he's made - seems like a young person who's trying to find his feet - easy to knock over. Give him a chance...
Why ever not? So auto-ironic!
Loved Mrs Slocum's "Pussy" too -so very naughty but still family entertainment

All the other characters were fine it was just that little prat Inman. Steptoe and Son was another classic as well as Married With Children
Married with Children was an American sit com from the 90s. There are clips on YouTube. Just search for Al Bundy. It's very funny. Any others you want to throw into the mix?
Lol? I thought text speak wasn't allowed.
Never text -don't know how to do it myself...it's just an abbreviated form of language I suppose.
I think you missed whose use of lol I was referring to!
Okay Michael if you're referring to lol you'd be hard pushed to find a forum where it wasn't used. Wikipedia calls it "a common element of Internet slang" along with lmao, rotfl and pms.
I don't text either, no wish to, don't know how to.

Let's bring movies into this. Planes, Trains and Automobiles starring Steve Martin and John Candy is a film comedy I never tire of. The same applies to Laurel and Hardy's short films (their full-length films don't quite do it for me).
Planes Trains and Automobiles is a top comedy film. I like all the Laurel and Hardy films. Timeless humour. Good shout
Love the bathroom scene in the motel - where Steve Martin ends up with the tiny towel!
Got the LOL! comment -quite right too!
Still think you have to give people time -I'm never brilliant in new company.
If I do send someone a text I always write out words in full. No Lols for me! It's handy in a work context. For instance, one of my jobs is to check our drivers' driving licences every six months. A text sent at night prompts them to find it there and then and bring it in the following day.
Steve Martin makes me want to throw up.
Me too! And Jim Carey!
Oh yes!
John Candy is very funny. Uncle Buck is another classic comedy film
