Faulty Towers and Keeping Up Appearances are funny shows. I need recommendations for other good shows to check out.

Check out Plebs.  Very much a British humor show about Ancient Rome.

Not a sitcom, but if you haven't watched Taskmaster it's well worth it.

For those of us that are getting on in years and/or have fond memories of the greatest generation, Last of the Summer Wine and Waiting for God are pretty good.

Edited to add: hadn't noticed Red Dwarf listed yet.

I have just discovered Good Omens and have watched the first two episodes.  So far, it’s brilliant.

I will second Blackadder if you haven’t seen it.  And as said, Seasons 2+ are significantly better than 1.

Yes, but it probably doesn't have the same context in 2020's USA as it did in late 1960's early 1970's Britain. WW2 was still fresh so the characters would have relevance.

You could add Aint half hot mum too.

Get some in! Was an RAF comedy from a similar period set in then 1950's

Mrs. Brown's Boys is hysterical.

+1

It's one of my all time favorites.  It's a bitch getting it to stream (legally) for any extended period of time.

If you liked Good Omens you'd probably like pure Pratchett and the Discworld - check out "Going Postal" on youtube (as done by Sky TV)
