Yeah, that stuff doesn't really do it for me. I can respect the artistry involved but it rarely makes me laugh, which obviously defeats the object. And as for Fawlty Towers, I always thought Sybil was a million times funnier than Manuel, and even Basil, for that matter. As you say, we all have our biases.
EDIT: One sitcom I loved without reservation was Bilko. But that probably links with the WC Fields thing.
