1) Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. (OK, it was sometimes funny. But mostly it was just annoying.)
2) Morecambe and Wise. Give me the Two Ronnies any day. Morecambe and Wise never seemed like British humour to me. They were too zany, they weren't grounded in the real world like great British humour. Granted, I haven't watched much of them.
3) Last of the Summer Wine. Oh, my God. It was SO bad it's almost beyond words. My father used to watch it and defend it as "gentle" comedy. Yes, it was gentle. It was also terrible.
4) Are You Being Served? To be fair, I've never watched an entire episode, but it seemed pretty vacuous to me from the few scenes I did watch.
5) The Vicar of Dibley. Often disgusting, condescending, predictable.
6) Dad's Army. OK, this wasn't terrible-- it had its moments-- but I've never understood why it's so beloved.
That's about enough, unless I think of more.
