- StelleJohn CleeseGraham ChapmanTim Brooke-TaylorWritten by and starring The Goodies' Tim Brooke-Taylor, Monty Python's Graham Chapman and John Cleese, and comedy legend Marty Feldman, "At Last the 1948 Show" is a groundbreaking, splendidly silly and surreal sketch comedy series.Forerunner of Monty Python.
- CreatoreSydney NewmanStellePatrick MacneeDiana RiggHonor BlackmanL'agente britannico John Steed (Patrick Macnee) e le avventure con i suoi partner prevalentemente femminili.The comedy-adventure series par excellence.
- CreatoreSol SaksStelleElizabeth MontgomeryDick YorkDick SargentUna strega sposata ad un uomo normale non riesce ad evitare di usare i suoi poteri magici per risolvere i problemi della vita quotidiana.The comedy-magic series par excellence.
- StelleJeff RawleGeorge A. CooperPamela VezeyBilly è un giovane idealista intrappolato in una vita noiosa. Fa un lavoro noioso nell'ufficio di un'impresa di pompe funebri con un datore di lavoro perennemente rigido, esce con una ragazza svampita che non riesce a soddisfarlo.Billy's interactions with his employer, the funereal Mr Shadrack, are majestic in their absurdity.
- CreatoreRichard CarpenterStelleGeoffrey BayldonRobin DaviesGary WarrenA medieval wizard (though not a very good one) is transported to the modern age.If you were around as a child in the early 1970s, this will be etched into your brain. Geoffrey Bayldon as the medieval wizard whisked into modern times is a comic creation of Dickensian dimensions. (I now retreat back into Pseud's Corner...)
- CreatoreJimmy PerryStelleArthur LoweJohn Le MesurierClive DunnUn gruppo disordinato di volontari della Guardia Nazionale si prepara per un'imminente invasione tedesca durante la seconda guerra mondiale.Wonderfully affectionate spoof of the British during World War 2. Every character sings with life.
- StelleDenise CoffeyEric IdleDavid JasonShort comedy sketches performed by an ensemble cast accompanied by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, an eccentric English group featuring Neil Innes and fronted by Vivian Stanshall.The adventures of Captain Pathetic - sorry, Captain Fantastic, played by David Jason, are joyously silly.
- CreatoriConnie BoothJohn CleeseStelleJohn CleesePrunella ScalesAndrew SachsL'incompetenza, la miccia corta e l'arroganza del proprietario dell'hotel Basil Fawlty formano una combinazione che garantisce che incidenti e problemi non siano mai lontani.Endlessly rewatchable lunacy.
- CreatoriJohn EsmondeBob LarbeyStellePeter CleallCarol HawkinsDavid BarryThe lives and adventures of the pupils of class 5C from 'Please Sir', after they have left Fenn Street School.Sequel to "Please Sir", not quite as funny, but once you've grown to love the characters, you just want to see them in action as often and as long as you can.
- CreatoriMel BrooksBuck HenryStelleDon AdamsBarbara FeldonEdward PlattMaxwell Smart, una spia altamente intellettuale ma maldestra che lavora per l'agenzia CONTROL, combatte le forze del male dell'agenzia di spionaggio rivale KAOS con l'aiuto della sua competente compagna, l'Agente 99.
- CreatoriTim Brooke-TaylorGraeme GardenBill OddieStelleTim Brooke-TaylorGraeme GardenBill OddieThe adventures of a crazy trio whose motto is "we do anything, anytime, anywhere."Every British boy's favorite comedy series from the early 1970s.
- StelleTony HancockSidney JamesJohnny VyvyanTV version of the popular BBC radio show of the same name, with Tony Hancock as the modern man of the world (in his own eyes). Sid James is there to bring him back to earth.My supreme favorite. Hancock parodies middle-class Britishness to perfection. The humor lies in the character: pompous, ignorant, prejudiced, always heading for disaster, yet somehow lovable.
- CreatoreGarry MarshallStelleRon HowardHenry WinklerMarion RossLa famiglia Cunningham vive negli anni 50 con l'aiuto e la guida dell'adorabile e quasi sovrumano Fonzie.
- StelleHarry WorthMary JordanDudley FosterA forgotten gem. A society should be started to revive the memory of Harry Worth. As IMDB contributor ShadeGrenade notes, "When Harry died in 1989, Roy Hudd paid him the following glowing tribute: 'he ( Harry ) was an oasis in a desert of rude, crude and predictable humour.'"
---See also "Thirty Minutes Worth" and "My Name Is Harry Worth". - CreatoreSidney SheldonStelleBarbara EdenLarry HagmanBill DailyUn astronauta degli Stati Uniti trova la sua vita enormemente complicata quando si imbatte in una bottiglia contenente un genio femminile.Perhaps not quite as effective as "Bewitched", in theNeoplatonist's despicable opinion, but still very funny.
- StelleTony HaygarthPatsy RowlandsPrunella GeeLazy, unambitious repairman and UFO enthusiast Des Kinvig encounters a spaceship captained by the beautiful Miss Griffin from Mercury. Or is it all just the fantasy of a man having a quiet breakdown?Hilarious spoof of UFO nerds. (Please distinguish: UFOs are one thing, being a nerd is another.)
- CreatoriHarry DriverVince PowellStelleJack SmethurstRudolph WalkerNina Baden-SemperA white working-class socialist has his world turned upside down when an educated black man moves in next door.Side-splitting send-up of British race relations. You couldn't get away these days with the things Eddie says about his black neighbour.
- CreatoreVince PowellStelleBarry EvansGeorge CamillerJacki HardingUn gruppo eterogeneo di immigrati e stranieri impara l'inglese in una scuola per adulti di Londra.Again, you couldn't get away these days what what many would see as racial stereotyping, but it's so innocent and so funny, and the British don't come off too well themselves (the ineffectual teacher, the dragon of a headmistress, the deaf and criminally-inclined caretaker...)
- CreatoriGraham ChapmanEric IdleTerry JonesStelleGraham ChapmanJohn CleeseTerry GilliamSegui la storia originale, surreale, intransigente e insipida, ma quasi sempre esilarante e irriverente di Monty Python troupe.No comment needed.
- CreatoriRowan AtkinsonRichard CurtisStelleRowan AtkinsonMatilda ZieglerRobin DriscollL'infantile e maldestro Mr. Bean ha difficoltà a completare anche i compiti più semplici nella vita di tutti i giorni, ma perseveranza e intraprendenza spesso gli permettono di trovare modi ingegnosi per aggirare ai problemi.And of course everything else Bean was in.
- CreatoriHarry DriverVince PowellStelleHylda BakerJimmy JewelJoe GladwinAfter their father's death, Eli and Nellie Pledge inherit the family pickle business. While Nellie works hard, Eli indulges in vices. With workers like Bert and Stan, they carry on the legacy.
- CreatoriRonald ChesneyRonald WolfeStelleAnna KarenBob GrantStephen LewisL'autista e il conduttore di autobus Jack-the-lad Stan e Jack si divertono più con le impiegate che con il loro lavoro e l'ispettore Blake è implacabile nei suoi tentativi di rendere le loro vite una miseria.Wildly popular both then and now with the general viewing public - see the ratings and comments on Amazon UK. The character of Inspector Cyril Blake and his eternal war with "lecherous layabouts" Stan and Jack on the buses is one of the legends of British comedy.
- CreatoreNat HikenStellePhil SilversHarvey LembeckPaul FordMaster Sergeant Bilko, regularly helped by the soldiers at Fort Baxter's motor pool, spends little time performing his duties by constantly trying to obtain money through various get-rich-quick scams and promotions.Sergeant Bilko, to the rest of us. Priceless.
- CreatoriJohn EsmondeBob LarbeyStelleDeryck GuylerNoel HowlettJoan SandersonA hapless but caring teacher tries to control his class of unruly kids. The teacher sees much good and potential in his pupils, much to the dismay of his fellow teachers who have lost hope in these kids.Another popular favorite in Britain: the trials of a fresh-faced schoolteacher and his unruly class.
- CreatoreBryan FullerStelleLee PaceAnna FrielChi McBrideUn pasticcere con il potere di ridare vita ai defunti, indaga su una serie di omicidi con l'aiuto della sua ex-ragazza, un investigatore privato ed una cameriera.Once again, the monstrous Powers That Be cancelled this gem after only two seasons. May they be banished into outer darkness.
