I don't watch either the Simpson's or south park , but I do tend say stuff that pops into my head anyway.... :o ;D
  The young ones , Married with children , Soap , Mr Ed , I dream of Jeannie , Steptoe and Son , Father 'Fekkin' Ted , Dads Army and One Foot in the Grave...all great and in no particular order.
 But the one program that shaped my whole life really (not a comedy though ) was Out Of Town , with Jack Hargreaves lovely program and a lovely man .....


cheers

I agree it's a fond memory of my childhood .Such a pity that so much of what he showed us has probably gone forever!

I have benidorm on my i pod, which makes me laugh out loud, mainly because we go back to the same holiday resort every year and meet the same people there.
i love the old classics, porridge,open all hours, rising damp,dads army, steptoe & son, the likely lads, only fools, etc. have got a bit tired of last of the summer wine, its a bit like a mockumentary of village life round here except with southeners putting on patronising yorkshire accents. wally batty was a hero.

sorry Joe , I forgot to answer... hope you were asking about Out of Town ? Anyway , it was presented by Jack Hargreaves , and he would carry out all sorts of country pursuits ,  he would go fishing all over the country . He would show how all sorts of country ways of life used to be carried out , some were still being done , others were long gone . The whole program was like from another time really , he had such a laid back way of presenting , and everything seemed to be at an easy comfortable pace. He would reminisce about days gone by with lovely old stories about the old blacksmith or the wheelmaker . Just about everything 'country' was covered. Out of Town morfed into Country Boy later , but it still covered mainly the same sort of topics .  O of T is available on DVD , it can be rented from lovefilm for one !!, and I would recommend getting some of them if you can . I was always out camping in the woods  for days on end , as a kid . Catching fish and rabbits etc , and growing veg on my allotments , and this program cemented an interest in old ways and simple living , that has stayed with me till this day . Jack Hargreaves was such an influence on my life,that when he died ,it  was like losing a granddad ,  I actually shed more than a tear or two ...

 cheers

I remember the man, he was in HOW! - I used to love that when I was young, it was full of things you could make that looked really impossible. ;D

I love the oldies, like Dads Army, Are you being served, the Good Life, Only Fools and Horses, Steptoe, Father Ted, and Fawlty Towers, and definitely Little Britain and The Royle Family.

I vaguely remeber a tiny chap called jimmy clitheroe, who, when he visited sheffield, stayed in a tatty caravan in the yard of a stables owned by friends of ours. i think he died in the mid sixties. he was supposed to be some famous radio? tv ? comic actor? but i just recall him being small and grumpy when i used to go round and see the ponies and pigs.
