Match 42
Ned and Stacey
Ned and Stacey was a US television sitcom that aired on the FOX network from 1995 to 1997. It starred Thomas Haden Church and Debra Messing. The major thread of the series was that the two were brought together in a marriage of convenience—Ned Dorsey (Church) needed to be married to get a promotion at work, while Stacey Colbert (Messing) desperately needed a place to live and Ned had a very good apartment.
Ned and Stacey often socialized with Stacey's sister, Amanda (Nadia Dajani) and her husband, Eric (Greg Germann). Other recurring characters included Stacey's parents and Ned's boss.
vs
Diff'rent Strokes
Diff'rent Strokes was a popular, American sitcom that aired on the NBC television network from November 3, 1978 to May 4, 1985, and on ABC from September 27, 1985 to March 7, 1986, when the series was again canceled.
This sitcom starred Gary Coleman as Arnold Jackson and Todd Bridges as his older brother Willis, two black children from a poor Harlem background whose deceased mother previously worked for a rich white widower Philip Drummond (Conrad Bain), who eventually adopted them. They lived in a penthouse with Drummond's daughter Kimberly (Dana Plato) and their maid — they went through three maids during the show's run: Edna Garrett (played by Charlotte Rae), Adelaide Brubaker (played by Nedra Volz), and Pearl Gallagher (played by Mary Jo Catlett) on Park Avenue in New York City. As Arnold, Coleman popularized the catch phrase "Wha'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" which was popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s and is still mentioned in pop culture references today.

Match 43
On The Buses
On The Buses was a British situation comedy created by Ronald Wolfe and Ronald Chesney. The pair had already had successes with The Rag Trade and Meet the Wife for the BBC. The BBC rejected this offering and so the pair turned to ITV station London Weekend Television. The show was accepted and although the critics disliked it, the show was a huge hit with the viewers.
Stan Butler (Reg Varney) works as a bus driver for the Luxton & District Traction Company. He lives at home with his bingo-loving, widowed and overbearing mother (Cicely Courtneidge, later Doris Hare), his frumpy sister Olive (Anna Karen) and his lazy brother-in-law Arthur (Michael Robbins). The bane of Stan's life is Inspector Cyril "Blakey" Blake (Stephen Lewis) who is often checking up on him and his conductor Jack Harper (Bob Grant), and threatening them with the sack for lateness and untidiness. Not coincidentally, Blakey sports a toothbrush moustache and general appearance very much in the image of Adolf Hitler. His catchphrase is "I 'ate you Butler!". In later years Arthur and then Stan left the series, Olive worked for the bus company and Blakey moved in to board at Mum's house.
Seventy-four half-hour episodes were made.
vs
George and Mildred
George and Mildred was a British sitcom produced by Thames Television that aired from 1976 to 1979. It was a spin-off of Man About the House and starred Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce as an ill-matched married couple, George and Mildred Roper. It was written by Brian Cooke and Johnnie Mortimer. Like many sitcoms of the day, George and Mildred was also turned into a film.

Or perhaps it is the new word for a comedy/drama where there is the odd spot of humping.
Anyway, I didn't make it up, I'm just the messenger who has to pass on this pretentious industry crap!!

Match 45
Will & Grace
Will & Grace is a popular Emmy Award winning and Golden Globe nominated American television sitcom that was originally broadcast from 1998 to 2006. The show focused on Will Truman, a gay lawyer, and his best friend Grace Adler, a straight Jewish woman who runs her own interior design firm, as well as Karen Walker, a very rich socialite, and Jack McFarland, a struggling gay actor. The show takes place in New York City.
The show debuted on the NBC network on September 21, 1998 and steadily gained in popularity, culminating when it moved to Thursday night as part of NBC's Must See TV line-up. When the show lost Friends as its lead-in at the end of the 2003-04 season, however, it began shedding viewers and slipped out of the Top 20.
The eighth season premiere was broadcast live on September 29, 2005, as was another episode in early 2006. The hour-long final episode aired May 18, 2006, preceded by a one-hour retrospective. The final broadcast drew in an estimated 18.1 million viewers.
