I could describe each show in detail, however you can click on Netflix.com or phill.co.uk for brief overviews. Reasons for choosing my 10 favorites include what I think is superb acting, interesting story lines, beautiful locales (for some), and, yes, silliness. The characters must be ones I look forward to seeing week after week. And perhaps most of all, I must want to see the shows over and over. All too often I enjoy a comedy series when I first see it, but I never have a desire to see it again. For example, I thoroughly enjoyed The IT Crowd and its loony, over-the-top comedy, however once is enough.
Here is my list of those shows that satisfy my qualifiers, in alphabetical order, not by preference. Unfortunately, Sorry! is not available through Netflix at this time.
- Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (photo above)
- Fawlty Towers
- Keeping Up Appearances
- Last of the Summer Wine
- Lovejoy
- One Foot in the Grave
- Sorry!
- To The Manor Born
- Vicar of Dibley
- Waiting for God

"To the Manor Born" is amusing, but "Fawlty Towers" is brilliant ensemble playing that rivals American classics like "M*A*S*H" & "Cheers."
