      I wish the so called comedy sitcom shows of recent years was this funny! They are less of them nowadays, and reality shows became popular, and I never understood that at all on how people could watch that crap. Almost all of them were scripted and not real, and for them being called reality shows was bullshit! They not as popular when people started to find out they were scripted, and a few more comedy shows have shown up, which I have never watched. I love watching to old very funny shows like this one. Some of yall probably hate me for saying that I found the show The Nanny was an absolute horrible show. I hated that crap, and also Friends. To me they were not funny and the writers should of learned from the writers of this one, Mrs. Bucket, Golden Girls, and all in the family, oh almost forgot to mention Good times. Wish that kind of funny shows would come back again! 🎥😔

The problem with today's and even in the late 80-90s comedy in the US (especially) is that people started being offended by anything so comedy was so diluted that no one watched shows anymore.

    I’m 53 now and live in the states.I was in high school in the mid to late 80’s when I started watching AYBS. I also watched Dr. Who (of course) The Goode Life and a spin-off of Three’s company (British version). Now my daughter watches these shows. When we were moving about 10 years ago, we stopped for the night. When we settled in for the night we were clicking the channels. We found Last of the summer wine. It’s incredibly funny as all of these shows are. We also found Keeping up appearances. I love the scenery of these wonderful funny tv shows.

    Watched this with my mom on PBS in the 90s. Happy memories, & the show is as enjoyable now as it was then. One of the many things I like about it is the blunt criticism or mockery traded among the characters, things that are likely to be very embarrassing, even devastating to a person. The one criticized invariably responds as you would imagine anyone would - and then they all go on: "Yes. Well, as I was saying, young Mr. Grace will be down here in five minutes, so I want you all to..." Makes me realize that such traumatic social situations are what we make them. Love all the characters, and enjoy reading the comments of others who love this show. Thanks for posting it!

      Yeah Howard,, Sanford and son was an Americanised copy of of Steptoe. Hate to say it but the translation was lost on me… but then I hate to admit it, but I find American comedy dull… the same with “the office” yet another copy of a British show.. .. But at least they were popular with American audiences… so many British shows failed… and American versions of them. Comedy shows like “RED Dwarf” and another Sci Fi show - Dr Who.
      Dr Who has been going for nearly 60 years.. it was first broadcast in 1963… on the very day JFK was assassinated. Until it’s restart in 2003/5 America just did not want to know about it.
