does keeping up appearances count?

Not a sit-com
Not second tier.
VERY, VERY NAUGHTY!
It was comedy
derived by situations.
What more do you need? What would you class it as?
It's not second tier in Standard, just general populus awareness. Jesus, it was cancelled before it had even aired all the episodes, at least three episodes didnt make it on air.
Would you consider
Minder a sit-com?
I accept your second-tier apology.
It was a sit com or comedy show
like
Weeds
UnDeclared
What would you classify 'Ideal' as? I love that show
Drab British sit-com.
I consider F&G to be a drama. Funny but a drama.
It matters not how it is pigeon-holed (despite my previous fury), what does matter is that it is excellent and whoever cancelled it should be made to feel moderate pain.
But it spawned so much
Undeclared
Jason Segel's Career (Forgetting Sarah Marshall written by him, Marshall Erickson in How I Met Your Mother) and i love me a bit of Jason Segel.
Judd Apatows career....giving us such delights at *cough* Superbad, Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin, Anchorman,
Seth Rogen
who wrote for the Ali G Show and UnDeclared and wrote Superbad
I am doomed to watch
all output relating to F&Gs. It has been getting worse and worse. Sarah Marshall was an extreme low - I have seen people praising it on these boards which frankly, is fucking outrageous.
I havent seen it yes
But I LOVE Jason Segel.

The Fall & Rise of Reggie Perrin had better not count as second tier
but if it does then that would be the easy far and away winner as it's the best sit-com ever made.
Then Malcolm in the Middle could arguably be seen as second tier too in which case that'd be an easy second.
I really liked the Residents when I was 18 or so if anyone remembers it?
My fourth choice will be How I Met Your Mother
and 5th place, though I've only seen 3 episodes, Andy Kauffman, PI
Reggie Perrin
and Mitm are no way second tier.
Phew!
I'm pleased to hear that. I'd have been sorry if they were classed as such.
Actually reading through your thread
As time Goes By and 2.4 children would be in this list. Maybe take the Residents and How I Met Your Mother out but leave Andy Kauffman PI in, even though it's ranked lower.
Don't know why it would be otherwise.
Last sentence made no sense...

Job done. Your cock up. My arse.
And The IT Crowd
oh theres too many.
I wouldn't count it as second tier
but if it counts it'd be right up there.
Red Dwarf
soooo isn't a second tier sitcom, it has it's one of the most succesful british sitcoms ever
..
Rising Damp
Young Ones
Sister Sister
I take it
you're being ironic with Sister Sister
it was comedy
but it was probably third tier, you're right.
Hardware
Peter Serafinowicz and Martin Freeman. Gold.
Sorry, but that was shite.
Aww I liked Hardware
I felt sorry for the student they picked on though.

boxset, please.
For Herman's Head?
You might indeed be a winner, I've never heard of it.
I was thinking of Bakersfield PD.
I've never met anyone else who remembers it.
Herman's head was ace. Synopsis (written by someone else):
Herman Brooks is an aspiring writer working as a fact-checker for a magazine publisher. While dealing with life in the big city, his inner thoughts are played out by four characters representing: his intellect, his fear, his sensitivity, and his lust. His "outer world" consists of a trivia-trove of a boss, two female co-workers, one mouse-ish and the other a snobbish social-climbing bombshell, and a best friend whose both a successful writer, a sexist pig, and an all-around fun guy
