I'm not to fond of the standard sitcoms with the canned laughter. Fawlty
Towers is about the only one. I have rented a few from the library, the
ones that are the 'most beloved.' But I am not enamored.
f-i-l loves the one where the woman has an issue with "class." It is so
contrived to me. A social climber? not funny!
I used to like Benny Hill, but now I see him and he's not funny anymore.
Times change. But Monty P. is still 'it.'
