I always love it when a thread goes OT...

That's a quote from yet another sitcom, the 'A-Team'.

Two extremely good suggestions.

(Although strictly speaking it's Dear John..., but yeah, agreed.)

I've just watched both series of Dear John last week. I thought the second series, although good, wasn't as great as the first one. Kate was missing from three episodes, I didn't care for the Rikki Fortune double episode and Sylvia wasn't much of a character etc. Maybe not quite as good, but the downturn in quality was marginal and very subtle. Ostensibly, it could have run and run, but the second series took too long re-establishing itself.

Ralph Bates died in 1991 amid plans for a third series.

I do agree - but it was still far better than much of the pap churned out around the same time. IMO, the shining episode of the entire run was the very first. Absolutely hilarious.

I'd like to see some more Seinfeld episodes but since Michael Richards had a melt down on stage that's pretty much killed that one stone dead I think. Seinfeld has got to be one of my all time favourites. And it would have to have Larry David involved.

I love Spaced but I think it should be left as it is. I think a lot of sitcoms are products of their time and therefore should be left alone. Absoulutely Fabulous anyone, brilliant the first time round, slightly shite the second.

Comedy has got to be the most subjective things there is. You either like something or you don't, which is fair enough, there's room for everyone and their different tastes. What I don't like though is when people slate a show they don't like and try to make everyone else think the same way, that gets on my tits. I don't really like Two Pints of Lager, but it's seems to be popular and I can't really understand why, I have tried many times to get it but I can't. I watched the live show though and I did chuckle a few times though I have to be honest, but in the past I have found it to be coarse and always going for the cheap laugh. But it's OK I'm not going to go out of my way to slag it off.

I'm with Aaron on the no love for Spaced. I found it unbelievably tedious.
