Shows like Fawlty Towers?

I recently finished watching all 12 episodes of Fawlty Towers and absolutely loved them! I had been hesitant to watch them because I had already tried Monty Python (both Holy Grail and Flying Circus short sketches) before and didn't like it, so I had thought FT would be similar.

What other classic shows involving simple, witty, family-friendly humour would you recommend for someone who loved FT but not MP? (I did like Mr Bean as well, both the show and the films.)
