The Vicar of Dibley, surely.

Not anywhere near as shit as I'd expected.

All Gas and Gaiters was better, but that wasn't 90s of course.

'Red Dwarf'

It was a comedy. It was a situation. It was a situation comedy.

After a shaky initial premise it also actually seemed to get better as time went on and the cast and storylines gelled.

For some reason there's a big downer on here on Red Dwarf.

I think the downer comes from having Red Dwarf outliving its welcome by having one series too many. It's a bit like Only Fools And Horses, where, even if the characters retained their charm, the continuous, seemingly never-ending tide of series, episodes and feature-length specials diluted - for some, anyway - its appeal. The shark wasn't jumped, it was just a case of being on far too much for far too long.

Even the life of the party has to give it a rest sometime.

I never liked Red Dwarf. All those geeky in-jokes really grated on me.
