The critics have spoken.<\/p>\n

Frontline\u00a0<\/strong>is Australia\u2019s all-time best TV comedy.<\/p>\n

TV Tonight<\/strong>\u00a0has asked some of the nation\u2019s top TV critics to choose their favourite Australian comedies* -either sitcoms or sketch- with Working Dog\u2019s 1990\u2019s satire on current affairs emerging at #1.<\/p>\n

Michael Lallo from The Age said, \u201cA quarter-century after its debut, this note-perfect satire of TV current affairs \u2013 and Australian journalism in general \u2013 still feels remarkably relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Co-creator and star Rob Sitch said of the honour, \u201cThat\u2019s very gratifying. I still have PTSD from the pilot screening. The ABC were expecting something a little more\u00a0Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys<\/strong>\u00a0and we delivered a laugh-track-free v\u00e9rit\u00e9 style office satire. There\u2019s silence and then there\u2019s silence that needs a defibrillator. Credit to them for still rolling the dice.\u201d<\/p>\n

In second place was Jane Turner & Gina Riley\u2019s suburban homage,\u00a0Kath & Kim,<\/strong>\u00a0which screened on ABC from 2002 \u2013 2004 and Seven in 2007, as well as spawning a telemovie and feature film.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Debi Enker, also from The Age, said, \u201cCrowd-pleasing, iconic characters seen in the context of Australian suburban life and its values.\u201d<\/p>\n

In third place was hit Seven sketch\u00a0Fast Forward<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWas this the greatest collection of Aussie comedy talent ever?\u201d asks James Manning from Mediaweek.<\/p>\n
