What are the best 10 ITV sitcoms...
Lists, lists - is there any point, besides I think you'd struggle to make a top 10 of ITV shows, not unless you were George Roper (whoever he was) or you're being ironic, which makes it a good post.

I'm not being ironic.
They have done a lot of good series.
That was why I agreed to set them up in the 1950s.
Not being nasty but sometimes I think you are living in cloud and the cuckoos land.
Rising Damp would be number one anyway.
Rising Damp
On the Busses
Man about the House
George and Mildred
Benidorm is another.
Not subtle but plenty of belly laughs.
I couldn't even name 10 as most of them have been dreadful down the years
Rising Damp was great
The only others that were half decent imo where Duty Free, Home to Roost, Mr Bean...
And that's about it
To throw a few more into the mix in (more or less) chronological order:
The Larkins, The Army Game, Bootsie & Snudge, Bless This House, Doctor in/at/on..., Shelley, Bless Me Father, Only When I Laugh, Watching, The Piglet Files, Is It Legal?.
OK, I change my mind, seeing Aaron's list............mostly
Which would you contest, Herc?
Two's Company
Ha! Well, I'm sure you could swap that out for at least one of the following:
Two In Clover
Father, Dear Father
Please Sir!
Pardon The Expression
Worzel Gummidge
The Larkins
The Army Game
Bootsie & Snudge
Hancock's
Nearest & Dearest
For my money, ITV has actually aired more all-time-great sitcoms than the BBC. The difference is that the former's weren't all made, and aren't now all owned, by the one company keen to blow its own trumpet.
Ha! I thought you might have asked me what my replacement would be, and it would have been one of these three.....................
The Larkins
The Army Game
Bootsie & Snudge
So, we are of a mind ?
Excellent.
Some sensible posts.
I'm having Rising Damp, yes, and George and Mildred and I'm definitely having Watching. I also very much like A Fine Romance. Bless This House.....yes, that's underrated. I will come back with a bit mores later.
