Father Ted was a bit more recent than 70s/80s. mid to late 90s...
So far we've had The Office, I'm Alan Partridge, Fawlty Towers and Curb Your Enthusiasm mentioned ffs
Curb is funny in small doses I find. However it can be agonising to watch and some of the hair-trigger offendable characters in the show make me angry! The show with the "beloved *unt" typo in the obituaries column of the newspaper was a classic example: very funny but the over-reaction of the family was unfeasible. I think one of the key qualities of good sitcom is that it could be believable. This convention obviously does not apply to absurd sitcom such as The Young Ones which is based on unbelievable events happening. One Foot In The Grave was hilarious because, at a stretch, some of the situations Victor got himself into were actually possible.
End of waffle!

Presumably people who say that have seen half an episode of Two and a Half Men or Big Bang Theory and just judged everything on that.
Although I'm going to have to pull you up on including Entourage on that list

In your opinion.
I think some people don't really get that the jokes are deliberately crap. It's not a world beater but it's entertaining enough in a groan-along kind of way. It was better when Miranda Hart was in it though.*
*This should in no way be taken as an endorsement of Miranda.

Well I couldnt get a 100% success rate for everyone!Presumably people who say that have seen half an episode of Two and a Half Men or Big Bang Theory and just judged everything on that.

What was wrong with entourage?? Admittedly it got totally ridiculous towards the end and the film was shite but it was very good at the start.
Or, in the immortal words of The Dude, "Well, that's just like, your opinion Maaan". I say that every chance I get.
not going out is f***ing dog shite man .

You're writing off ALL American shows. That's pretty blinkered

Here's an unpopular opinion.
I didn't think The Big Lebowski was that good.

Outside of family guy, and Simpsons (which seem to be more of British humour) I'm yet to find anything remotely amusing. And I have no interest in watching owt else.

Not Going Out used to be a good show. That last series was well below par mind.
People including Curb in this list need a good shoeing.
Finally, has anyone mentioned Citizen Khan? I don’t mind Adil Ray as it happens but that is just woeful. People Just Do Nothing isn’t a lot better either.

Anything with David Mitchell.
Odious little 5hit with his pathetic middle class belittling humour
