    I work on the basic assumption that all American 'sitcoms' are utter cr@p and not even remotely funny. Exhibit A is Friends. I rest my case.

    One should never assume .

    Two and a Half Men ( Charlie Sheen years were the best ) .

    Everybody Loves Raymond .

    Sadly even these shows have been sheared by the PC brigade .

    don’t be daft Mario. Cherers, Frazier, Family Guy and the best of the lot Modern Family are way ahead of most British sit coms.

    What about the last train, set in sheffield. Written by the guy who did life on Mars. And ashes to ashes. It was about an asteroid hitting and obliterating the civilisation.

    So the whole of civilisation is wiped out, apart from Hillsborough. Typical. Bloody typical.

    Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set And Go Out And Do Something Less Boring Instead?

    Started in 1973. Usually abbreviated to Why Don't You...?
    It was a bit naff, but I liked the name. Usually shown in the school holidays, full of "fun" ideas for kids to do, mostly the mind-numbing kind that only an adult could dream up. We ignored it in the main and played footie and cricket.

    The Magic Boomerang. (A boy threw a boomerang and time stood still)
    Whirlybirds. (Two police helicopters)
    Time Tunnel. (Going through a time portal)
    Voyage to the bottom of the sea. (Submarine adventures with lots of scary monsters)
    Now that little lot may have got you thinking, but they were the sort of things that we kids grew up with.
