Let us know if you agree with his thoughts.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>John Sullivan<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>There are so many reasons why it is a top sitcom and has been so popular all these years the biggest reason in my own mind goes back to the script. Writer John Sullivan hit absolute jackpot with the ideas that he has put together and the characters that have become part of the nations lives. The shows uniqueness and varied approach to make the program so believable is what has really gave\u00a0it that warmth and charm, I&#8217;m often watching the show forgetting that this is really a made up program and not real life. John has an art and an amazing talent to make you laugh and cry with his writing skills he is an absolute genius and a Comedy writing legend.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2406 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Ashes-to-Ashes-ep2.2-530x397.jpg\" alt=\"Ashes to Ashes with Trig\" width=\"371\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Ashes-to-Ashes-ep2.2-530x397.jpg 530w, https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Ashes-to-Ashes-ep2.2-550x412.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Ashes-to-Ashes-ep2.2.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px\" \/><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Characters<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I have touched on this\u00a0subject but the personalities of the\u00a0Characters and also the awesome chemistry between them gives this show the edge over all the others. For example the love hate relationship between Delboy and Rodney and how the people boing with each other and care for each other. Grandad and Uncle Albert drive them mad but if anyone hurt them you know there would be hell to pay. Delboy himself is a lovable rogue and could sell water to a goldfish yet has such a fantastic likability that he is hard not to like. The characters are people you would want as friends and would make your life a better place, and in a way they are our friends that we\u00a0have come to love when we turn the TV on and lose ourselves in every episode for all these years.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Settings<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Unlike some comedies based around one location OFAH has many various places to keep us viewers interested such as Nelson Mandela House, the Market, the Caf\u00e9, Boycie&#8217;s House, or The Nags head. All of these settings are made interesting\u00a0the flat always changes it&#8217;s appearance\u00a0about so there is always something great floating about in there such as a new table, or a box of gin in the corner with some Japanese video recorders. At the market The Trotters have some new\u00a0tracksuit or dodgy deal to sell to the Customers.\u00a0These places have helped make the program\u00a0have a lot more depth.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Catchphrases<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Delboy in partculiar with his numerous sayings are simply classic and as we know are often\u00a0talked about and quoted in\u00a0our everyday lives. Friends of mine often say don&#8217;t worry\u00a0&#8216;This till next\u00a0year we will be\u00a0millionaires&#8217; or I will say &#8216;Lovely Jubbly&#8217; or call\u00a0someone &#8216;Rodney you plonker&#8217; it does become addictive and infectious and that shows how much OFAH\u00a0 has entertained people. It is funnier than other programs and there are more gags and scenarios like the blow up doll episode which add to the humour just brilliant.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Atmosphere<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This program has the magic that so many other sitcoms fail to have and\u00a0everything just knits together like the perfect jumper. Christmas Specials are full of such charisma and there is something for everyone\u00a0within OFAH.\u00a0It is pretty much impossible to watch the show and not laugh or smile even\u00a0after a bad day and not many programs can do that. In my\u00a0mind and in the mind of so many others this is the best show and comedy\u00a0there is and you can&#8217;t say better than that OFAH is the full package and more.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Written By Liam Golder<\/div>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/top-sitcom\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" src=\"\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Liam Golder gives us 5 Reasons Only Fools and\u00a0Horses is the\u00a0top sitcom.
