I hate Fawlty Towers

Like legit hate it and think it’s the most overrated TV show of all time. I’ve been rewatching the 90s Alan Partridge show and it’s leagues above the ‘comedy’ in FT both intellectually and in pure laugh per minute genius.

What shows do people have as their Fawlty Towers in terms of being overrated by the masses?

Top 5 for me:

Only fools
Father Ted
Two and a Half Men
Inbetweeners
Men behaving badly

Can understand why some don’t like Friends but I enjoy it personally.

Mrs Brown is awful and Schitts Creek is a pile of schitt imo.

*probably Fawlty over Men Behaving badly actually.

Married... with children

Is the best Yank comedy ever btw. Modern Family and Brooklyn 9-9 are decent. And the Cosby Show and Fresh Prince were class even if the main men have proven to be a "bit dodgy".

Fun fact - Simon Greenal, who is Michael the Geordie from I’m Alan Partridge is also the voice of Alexander the Meerkat from all those ads.

Married With Children was superb.

Parks and Recreation is the best US comedy IMO.
