Yes I saw TBBT through several times seasons 1-6. But I started working for a tech company in California after that and suddenly the outlandish characters seemed a bit close to home. When I went for training in Palo Alto, there were a lot of Sheldons and Wolowitz in the engineering department… not many Leonards though. Suddenly I saw it in a different light. I started to worry, hang on… I’m not one of them am I?

Two and a half men
Frasier
The Bridge was excellent, must fish that out.
Favourite series that we have watched time and time again is Black Books.
The Night Manager
Multiple times in their entirety:
MAS*H
Star Trek TNG
The Good Life (Good Neighbors here in the USA, still ingenious and funny as hell)
Fawlty Towers (ditto)
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
The Van Dyke Show (his first name was disallowed by the forum police)
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
The Bob Newhart Show
The Sopranos (thought to be the USA’s best crime series)
The Wire (also thought to be the USA’s best crime series)
Homicide: Life on the Streets (actually the USA’s best crime series)
Multiple times, perhaps missing an episode or two on occasion:
The West Wing
Rumpole of the Bailey
I, Claudius
Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Saturday Night Live, Seasons 1-4 (mostly the music acts)
The two series I never seem to tire of repeated viewing are Fawlty Towers and Frasier.
Many of my former pupils who go on to science degrees, plus my daughter who’s doing Engineering, have independently told me about the slow realisation process that Big Bang Theory is less a sitcom and more a documentary.
