Rubbish Sitcoms Page 6
Freddie & Max, and the UK version of Who's The Boss - both utter tripe.
'In With The Flynns' was the worst sitcom I have ever seen in my whole life. Not funny, badly written.
Another sitcom I think is overrated is 'My Family'. I found the last episode very good but the ending was not great. It was a bit like the last episode of LOTSW - nothing seemed to happen.

Oh God, and I have just ordered Yus, My Dear.
Yus, My Dear is awful, but it does have Arthur Mullard and Queenie Watts in so it's awful in a watchable way. Romany Jones was better. But I kind of like both, can't really justify that opinion though. 
I watch and find something to enjoy in practically everything - but really, Yus, My Dear is SO dreadful.
Didn't stop me ordering the second series on DVD, mind...

As I once read, it was designed as a vehicle for Arthur Mullard - a vehicle that many wished had been an oncoming train.
"Clone" was pretty awful.
I think im just a sucker when it comes to 70s sitcoms especially. Even some of the God damn awful ones I still watch every now and then.
I quite like Queenie Watts and Arthur Mullard together in one of the 'On The Buses' films, and thought they made a good husband and wife team, which is one of the reasons for me ordering 'Yus My Dear'. The other being I'm a fan of Mike Reid.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for 70s shows too. But Yus, My Dear really is bad.
It does have its moments, but yeah... Maybe better having watched Romany Jones previously, which I didn't for some reason.
Very interested to hear what you think when you see it though, of course. 
Quote: Aaron @ February 9 2011, 12:47 AM GMTSounds vaguely like So Haunt Me - certainly the ravages of time could cause you to remember it like that.
I'd totally forgotten about that one. I think I watched it purely because it had 'Bob' from 'Rita, Sue and Bob Too' in it. My favourite sleazy comedy character. He was a bit wasted in this show though.
'Fresh Meat' was very disappointing considering how much I love Peep Show. I did read it gets a lot better after the first few episodes though.
