"Last of the Summer Wine" is said to be light comedy. I don't think it's very funny despite the generous use of a laugh track device.
Nearly all of the regular female members in the cast are bossy and strident, and a few are pugnacious. Nearly all of the regular males are wimps, and with too much time on their hands, engage in various capers you'd expect from bored 12-year-old boys.
Yet this series ran for about 37 years.
"Keeping Up Appearances" features Hyacinth Bucket (pronounce it "bouquet" according to her but not according to her husband) who desperately tries to reach the Upper Crust of society. The actress is brilliant yet maddening. Sometimes you want to throttle her. Her role is well-supported by her long-suffering spouse, slovenly brother-in-law, and others.
This series ran for about six years.
Who can figure.
