Porridge

1970s British tv sitcom

Young Lennie Godber is sent to Slade Prison for breaking and entering. He is lucky enough to share cell with Norman Fletcher, veteran and father-figure, who can show him the ropes.

Classic British comedy series set in unusual setting for sitcom - a prison. And despite the fact that it is actually quite realistic the creators pulled it off - it is one of the better British sitcoms (partly thanks to Ronnie Barker, who as usually created a great character). Some of the plots and some of the episodes are have really down-to-earth underlining, some scenes have more to do with drama movies than comedy series, but the whole show is so enjoyable and entertaining that it is hard to blame the creators for reminding the viewers that the plot takes place in the prison, where there are life choices and dramas.

Great cast, great characters, episodes written with a lot of skill - all of it gives a lot of joy to watch. A must see sitcom!
