no one's mentioned Dad's army yet? the repeats are sadly still the best thing on saturday evenings.

Situation-Comedy

I could think of a lot but most are American lol

Actually btw a lot of other countries such as America get British sitcoms etc so I don't see why Ireland wouldn't get at least some?
