Mine is Columbo!
It's way before my time but I watched it first with my parents when I was 14 and I've been hooked ever since. I love his character, I love the plots for the eps and I love the humour which I do understand for once..
Just one more thing!
It won 13 Emmys.
I have a few comfort ones that I always return to, all sitcoms. New Girl, The Office US, The Likley Lads and Only Fools and Horses are the main ones
I often go back to watching Porridge, the acting is brilliant, it’s where David Jason ( Blanco) first met Ronnie Barker. A young John Sullivan was a scene shifter on the set and showed Ronnie the script for a sitcom he wanted to make. Jim Broadbent was an original choice for Del, he turned it down but obviously came back as Snide Slater.
My dad loves Ronnie Barker and has most of his DVDs. I think he said Open All Hours is his fav, I've seen it but never seen Porridge before.
I'll add it to my list before I forget. Would love to give it a try. I really like Ronnie Barker, he was so funny. Gr-Gr-Granville f-fetch a cloth. Lol
If you like Open All Hours, you would love Porridge
