The good old days for sure
You said it!!
I will say that I had perfect score. I not only have never heard of any of them, but I didn’t see a single actor that I recognized. In my defense though, I am an American and spent most of the 60's and 70's doing US Navy things.
27. Missed the fosters, two's company and lucky feller. Never heard of the last of these!
Missed the same ones. Guessed Desmonds, couldn't remember the title of the Elaine Stritch one, and guessed Edgar Briggs.
Same 3 that I couldn't get!
Exactly the same
I'd a gut feeling that I'd get 30/30 here....I was wrong (28/30).....most of these couldn't be made nowadays....thank goodness it was the 70s...😀
I'd bring them all back!!! It'd be a good smack in the eye for the wokes, snowflakes and lefties!!!
Could you imagine the uproar if Love Thy Neighbour was shown now?
It'd be bloody great!!! A great right hander in the eyes of the wokes, snowflakes and lefties!!! I'd bring them all back, tv is cr*p these days, back then, the ads were better and more entertaining than most of today's actual programmes!!!
Loved it and loved most of them too. Not 100% but 80%.
You can't wack the seventies comedies. Brilliant...Outstanding....very funny........when you could have a good loff and folk not telling you thats wrong to loff at....😤🙆♂️🇬🇧👍.
I love a good loff
LAUGH not LOFF.
@@heli-crewhgs5285 tee hee. Had a good LOFF....🤣
Another gem! Your videos are a daily treat!
Thanks Keith! Your support is much appreciated.
Classic 70s Situation Comedy 🎭 Quiz: 29/30!!! Brilliant!! 😃My highest score yet!! Only one I had never heard of: “Lucky Feller”? Starring David Jason, I thought it might be “A Sharp in take of Breath”! Another forgotten situation comedy. Patrick Cargill of “Father Dear Father” also starred in another forgotten comedy series: “Many wives of Patrick.” Another interesting Quiz. 🤔
Great score Alison! Nearly a full house!
How could you forget please sir!
Yeah Robert...Please sir,Chance in a million,Doctor in the house,and the dustbin men!
26 : I did get lucky fella as Gold ran it fairly recently along with A sharp intake of Breath, which was an early David Jason sitcom. I recorded them both on my tv box.
I got 28/30... never saw The Fosters or Lucky Fella back in the day. Remember laughing at all the rest as a kid though but geez I feel very old now 😒
Me too. Those were the only two I'd never heard of.
@Dildo Insaney it seems to be a common thing!
There was a goodly swathe of them I had never heard of. I hardly call the ones I didn't know classics because we never talked about them at school
Just got 100% on your quiz. You just can not beat 70s and 80s tv. And keep up the good videos.
Great score and thanks for the kind comments!
I got 19 correct! But to be fair, I was t born until 1983!!!
Every one a piece of cake except, "Lucky Fella" & "The Fosters". The only 2 I can't remember watching.
What an amazing walk down memory lane thank you more please!!! 8:26
Many thanks.
Another brill quiz. Thank you! 26/30 - missed Father Dear Father, The Fosters, The Lovers and Lucky Feller
Nice score! Glad you enjoyed the quiz. Many thanks!
these were shows from the UK we got some of these in Canada not all. I liked the ones we got very much especially "on the busses". We had more US sitcoms and some of our own as well.
Only one I didnt get was "Lucky Feller". I must chase this down and watch it
Geez 28 out 30 lucky man the fosters brutal quiz mate ... great time to be alive the 70's .. nice one!
I'm sure David Jason would be delighted to know almost no-one in these comments (Including me) has ever heard of Lucky Feller!
Nor me. That one must have passed me by.
I've heard of it and seen it . It was dire, but so were most of his early series! Frankly, I dont rate OFAH ( poor man's Minder!). Jason is a very good actor, though, in dramatic roles. His Frost was excellent, and he is always great as cantankerous old men. Id say his best comedy performance is as the old lag in Porridge !
I watched lucky fella on now tv about a year ago. Wasn't great but did have some lines
@@trevorwilliams6404 And the girl was very nice! She also played Wolfies girlfriend in Citizen Smith. Cheryl Hall, I think her name is.
im old enough to not only remember it, i used to watch it
Great quiz, full .marks!! Very satisfying, I nearly didn't get Love Thy Neighbour, then as the clock counted down and got to 2, it came to me. So I'm claiming a win on that one!!!
Great job!
Great quiz thanks Stu 20/30.
Many thanks!
My first reaction was that I don't know 30 70s sitcoms. Well I got 25/30. I never knew I Never Knew You Cared, missed Father Dear Father, said Robin's Nest for Man About the House and didn't know Two's Company or Lucky Feller (I went for A Sharp Intake of Breath for that one).
Great score!
Amazing…… I never saw any of them…… must be because I grew up in the 50s and 60s…. in the United States!
26 out of 30
Stan's mum from on the buses came from park road in bargoed s Wales
In the earlier episodes of 'On The Buses' Stan's mother was played by Cicely Courtneidge, but in later episodes she was played by Doris Hare.
Poor old me I could recognise only 15 out of that many..
The best one I liked was mind your language. I still watch it on U Tube .
Great programmes they don't make them like them Any more
23, not bad for someone who was only just born in the 70's. 6 I had never seen before and I mixed up The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin with The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin and decided to be tough on myself.
There were about 2 that I knew the answers to but couldn't remember at the time until the answer came on namely "The Lovers" and "The Fosters" but there were a couple I'd never heard of "Lucky Feller" and "Two's Company"
Knew most. Seen some. A few are favorites.
Great quiz Stu. I see you threw in a couple of somewhat obscure ones there. Still, I managed a score of 30/30.
Top stuff!
Lucky Feller and I Didn't Know You Cared tripped me up.
I got 26, I didn't know The Fosters, Lucky Fella, The Lovers and run out of time thinking on I didn't know you cared.
Never knew any of these Brit shows existed except the Good Life which I remember watching as a little kid on American PBS.
Then you have a lot to catch up !!
Felicity Kendal was cute. The program as also known as "Good Neighbors".
You must have heard of Fawlty Towers surely? That one was an international hit.
Almost 100% - Lucky Feller got me!
Arrggh, so close!
I put A Sharp Intake of Breath!!
28/30. Done by `Two's Company` & `Lucky Feller`. Loving these quizzes though. Subscribed.
Still a good score though! Thanks for the subscription. Much appreciated!
22 but most of the ones i didn’t get I’d never watched
The one I got wrong was David Jason in 'Lucky Feller... I'd never heard of that show before..
OK, just looked at some of the comments.....no-one knew Lucky Feller :)
Looks like 'I didn't know you cared', 'the fosters', 'oh no it's selwin froggitt' & 'lucky feller' were the ones that didn't make it to Australia
I didn't know you cared is one of my favourite sitcoms , I managed to get the box set as it's never been repeated in Britain.
The only two I got were Fawlty Towers ( I'm a huge fan of Monty Python) and Are You Being Served, which I ran into years ago. Shame that Open All Hours wasn't on here...or was that an 80s show?
Open All Hours did start in the 70s but there were more episodes made in the 80s so I included it in my 80s sitcom quiz instead.
@@stuviewtv I thought that was a 70's thing. Have you ever seen The Colour of Magic? Every time Rincewind walks on screen I can't help but hear "Granville, fetch your cloth!".
It's a bit weird. They made six episodes in 1976, but it didn't continue again until series 2 in 1981.
28 out of 30 Lucky Fella and The Lovers beat me
I remembered The Lovers and even bought the series on DVD but it doesn't stand up. It is pretty cringeworthy. I thought I liked it at the time but it shows how times change. Paula Wilcox and Richard Beckinsale are both excellent actors but the scripts are really terrible.
28/30. I'd never heard of The Fosters and Lucky Feller I couldn't remember the title in time.
when the fosters came up I originally thought Desmonds due to Norman Beaton but corrected myself when I saw Lenny Henry apart from that got them all
Great score!
@@stuviewtv Cheers i never wentout, wish i had
Desmonds was late 80s or early 90s wasn't it?
Out of 30 I dropped 3 alas. I knew them just couldn't recall the titles. It's not old age, or poverty it's drinking out of wet glasses! Let that be a lesson to you all!
Where is on the buses
24 out of 30.
I like quizzes
I didn’t get any of them but I was overseas for most of the seventies
23. I had forgotten some of them
Got them all right my favourite comedies in the seventies and sixties and fifties and eighties
Twenty five and a half, took a half point off for not remembering the full title on Selwyn Froggit
Got a few wrong,I have never seen some as I left the U.K in 1956
28, never heard of Lucky Feller or Selwyn Froggatt.
Bah! Didn't get father dear father the two of us and the fosters. ..off to sulk now. ..lol...best wishes and take care
26/30 A couple I couldn't remember the names of, (Father Dear Father and I Didn't Know You Cared), and the other 2 I'd never heard of, (The Fosters and Lucky Feller.)
The Fosters was the show that was Lenny Henry's vehicle to follow on from winning New Faces but Norman Beaton was really the star.
God!!....if this were any easier, it'd be a GCSE paper!!!!
27 out of 30. Couldn't remember Reginald Perrin, couldn't think of the early David Jason and said The Likely Lads and not its full title! Not bad though.
You could count the Likely Lads as a Whatever Happened to Christmas episode had Likely Lads only on the opening credits.
I got 27. Never heard of The Fosters.
If I had a magic wand, I would turn back the clock to the 70's and 80's sitcoms as can't beat any of these classics compared to the rubbish they bring out today without offending certain people, The good sense of humor seems these day in 2022 and now in 2023 gone to pot like most things on TV ,
Kid of this era don't know what they are missing out on,
And one that surly you would have put on is Only when I laugh,
What about Steptoe and Son?
If I do a 60s sitcom quiz Steptoe and Son will be in that one.
Snowflakes today would have heart attacks if they watched Till Death Us Do Part and Love They Neighbour
Got them alright you should do a 80s one that be good love Kelly ❤😀
Well done Kelly. You'll be glad to know I've already done an 80s one - you can catch it here ua-cam.com/video/wOBmycFSPcs/v-deo.html Thanks!
@@stuviewtv thank you so much love
Kelly ❤
22. Not bad for being born in 1981
23/30 scored.
The Fosters really caught me out. I thought it was Desmonds!
Lenny Henry gave it away. It was his first acting role as Sonny Foster.
Not to me to be honest. I've never seen the programme and at least two of the actors in the pic ARE in Desmonds. Thanks for the info though! By the way, was it any good?
@@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars It was OK but clearly American in origin as a British remake of the American Good Times series. It was probably the reason that Desmond's got commissioned.
I'm pretty disappointed. I only recognized: Faulty Towers, The Good Life, Are you being served?, Sykes, Dad's Army and Two's Company.
But... Well..
1. I'm not British. I discovered those shows on UA-cam during the last 10 years.
2. the ones I did recognize, are my all time favourites. I've watched them all at least 4 times.
2 not know lucky fella and the fosters
I thought I would do really well on this but honestly I didn't I reckon I got 60% the others were all on the tip of my tongue so to speak, as soon as the name was revealed I was like O yea
I got 90%.
I got 10as I do not watch any other of the ones there
4 wrong maybe 5 called reggie Perrin as rising damp 😒
I got the lot !
Top stuff!
Hah! Either I didn't know them or I didn't like them! Except maybe Alf Garnett and Frankie Howerd. Dad's Army I just thought all old people were like Capt. Mainwaring! Now I'm an old people!🤣
I only know 2 shows.
If only they could be repeated television.
Some are. ITV3 and ForcesTV have broadcasted a few of these.
23
FYI these are all British shows.
Ooops 7 wrong. I’m ashamed of myself
27/30
Salutee
Man, you'd be hard pressed to call some of these 'classic'. I thought I was a britcom nerd but I never heard of about a third of these.
only missed lucky fella and get some in. the best era for comedy back when things were aloud to be funny, if the snowflakes today watched these shows they would have a melt down
Today's comedies are so much better🙄🙄🙄
Back when humour wasn't a crime. I have no time for racism but equally none for ridiculous political correctness where people try to solve problems no one had in the first place. Today's "woke" crowd simply don't understand this. In It "Ain't 'alf Hot Mum", the butt of the jokes was Battery Sergeant Major Williams, portrayed by Windsor Davies. Specifically his homophobic and racist ways.
Mind your Language 😂
Compare them to the crap thats on tv now days
Did these need 10secs each. Halve that should have been enough, there was only one remotely difficult...IDKUC
Sick of people slagging off the the 70s .We have no comedy now because of political correctness . But yet you put naked women and men on channel 4 .Who's sick
Most of these programmes couldn't be shown now because of political correctness.
Ha, Love Thy Neighbour.... no way hahaha
Sadly that is true. Good comedies there where we could laugh with each other at idiosyncrasies and not spite.
You're right there!
One of my favourite sitcoms couldn't be shown now and yet it was one of the funniest. That is "On the Buses". Brilliant characters .
