[TV] Which one was the worst.. Love thy neighbour or On the buses

[wellquickwoody]

I remember one particular On The Buses, where Stan made some home brew, drank some at lunch time, turned up for work pissed then devised a plan with Jack that they could use it to get the clippies legless and basically shag them.

A hilarious episode

You haven’t lived you

 

[pasty]

Not as bad as The Good Life. Now that was crap.

I beg to differ

 

[BLOCK F]

They both summed up the 70’s. Not as bad as The Good Life. Now that was crap.

Well, I quite enjoyed the Good Life. It was harmless enough and for those of us of a certain age, Felicity Kendal as Barbara was the stuff of many a fantasy.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

they were funny at the time like terry and june , goodlife , dick memory , dave allan .............you pricks need to wind your necks in ......you are nowhere near as funny as the shows you are dissing ....wankers.

No they weren't. They were crap at the time, and haven't improved with age.

Sounds like something the wild kids in Peacehaven may have dreamt up back in the day.

 

[Pavilionaire]

It is very trite to cast all 70s comedies as sexist and racist. In actual fact most shows containing non-white characters began to challenge the status quo, none better than the excellent Rising Damp with Rigsby's running battles with Philip.

Reg Varney opened the first ATM machine in the UK…
Pickles told me that.

When it came to reinforcing '70s foreign stereotypes to an island nation, Mind Your Language was Juan of a kind.

Francois Pascal (the French bird) did a Mayfair centrefold ……. I treasured that copy for two years.

Dick Memory ? …. I’d forgotten about him

 

[Jeremiah]

I used to enjoy "On The Buses"


"Olive !!"

…for a change…..

bore of knobhead...

 

[sydney]

I'm nowhere near 70 and remember watching both. And if you watch Love thy Neighbour, any episode, the black guy gets the upper hand every time.

cos eddie was a northern monkey

 

[sydney]

No they weren't. They were crap at the time, and haven't improved with age.

yes they were , i give you mrs brown's boys as a yardstick , Bernard manning and freddie starr , derek and clive ....miles ahead , only one who stacks up these days is ricky Gervais.

 

[sydney]

monty python still unrivalled....goodnight x

 

[Questions]

Not only but also.
Milligan
Python

All the best sit coms were from the 70’s
I’m off to watch Spikes Pakistan Dalek sketch again.

They are /were all completely crap as well.

There's nothing like an old 1970's racist comic (fortunately).

 

[shingle]

Oh blimey, they were of their time. They are a very easy target for those of a certain age, who are inclined to want to air their ‘today’s liberal attitudes’ and so have an indirect pop at those ‘ mostly dead people who watched telly in the early ‘70’s.’
Oh what an ignorant lot our ancestors were, look at the crap they watched!

Hope you're not calling me liberal. I'm somewhere to the right of Attlla the hun well that's what some on here say

 

[shingle]

Rising Damp, Till death us to part, Steptoe and Son, Fawlty Towers etc all brilliant and all stuff 'our ancestors' watched

 

[dazzer6666]

Both still way better than Mrs Brown’s Boys.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

But what do you really think about it all?
