> why no blackadder? well, blackadder 3, especially the one with tom baker
was genuis,,,,,but all as one offs the above were, for me, consistently
funny

That was Blackadder 2, the one where he was a Sea Captain?

I liked Blackadder, and always thought the first Series was underated, but
the Forth very poor, but I think that was just me.

And Only Fools and Horses is not a "sit-com", it's a soap opera with a
couple of half jokes and punchlines. Did you notice the complete lack of
jokes in the clips they kept showing of it? (other than the chandalier <SP>,
and falling over on the bar jokes.)
