Best sit-com
 

Just wondered what peoples fav comedy's are. I have to say Cheers is the probably my favourite US comedy with Red Dwarf the best of the Brits.

Best Sit-coms
 

"Frazier" was one of my favorites. And an oldie but hilarious goodie: "Soap."

I tend to like British sitcoms better than American ones though.

I don't have just 1 favorite comedy. So I'll do a little list. "soap" was great. Drew Carey, Home Improvement, The Cosby Show, Cheers, Three's Company, Facts of Life, Herman's Head ( this was a great show imo, but apparently not everyone liked it cuz it was cancelled) It's Like You Know( which was also cancelled) Family Guy, Futurama, Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, & Spongebob. Those are all I can currently think of. I know the topic was sit coms, but I threw in some Adult Swim, along with a splash of Spongebob.

My faves are 7th Heaven, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, and Will & Grace!!! I know i'm a dork!!!:p

Arrested Development, The Office (U.K.), Curb Your Enthusiasm

UK - old school - Black Adder (all 4) and new - Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights - I loved that show

best:seinfeld.

agreed- i now like to watch Joey just to see how horrific it is - its like watching a slow motion train wreck

Wonder Years
Fresh Prince of belair

Seinfeld

Its always been Seinfeld.

facts of life
desperate housewives
stacked
the simple life

beverly hillbillies ..or the dick van dyke show .. or the Lucy Show.

anything since makes me want to take a baseball bat to the TV


edit to add sanford and son ..
.. but it doesnt stand the test of time like the other 3 i mentioned.

Personally, I was a fan of Chico and The Man

Noticed a number of people have opted for Seinfeld but ive never got that show. Don't think ive laughed once when watching it.

Same here

It's only funny If you have the right IQ. I'm not yet sure if its supposed to be high or low, but yeah... like I don't find South Park funny any more... Its a shame, I use to love that show. :( I thought the soup nazi was funny.

That 70's show. I haven't watched tv scince lent of last year. I'm not catholic, someone dared me. lol.

charles in charge.

All time favorite is probably Laverne and Shirley (before they moved). Roseanne, Mama's family, Dick van Dyke, I Love Lucy and Cheers are up there too. New(er) ones I like are Drew Carey, King of the Hill, Sex and the City and My name is Earl.

Me too, I always thought it was alright but lately(couple months I guess) I've been watching the reruns that come on nick at nite and I really like it now.

Yeah, my taste in things change all the time. I haven't seen Rosanne in years!

The Honeymooners, Get Smart, F-Troop, Hogan's Hero's

yeah.......I'm fucking old :(

f-troop is the only one of those that i didnt watch as a kid (i dont think any stations carried it up here)

How about "Car 54, Where Are You" or "My Favorite Martian".....or "The Munsters"

ahhh the golden years of TV ... Television without a message ... thank god.

haven't you seen JOEY - the only message there is "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - WHY?????????"

I use to love that show. But the og Addams family that was in Black and White is still better in my opinion. Morticia was gorgeous.

Loved 'em all.....also Mr. Ed

I agree 100%

The Simpsons
Family Guy
King Of The Hill
Futurama
Married With Children
That 70's Show
3rd Rock From The Sun

Is it really that hard to understand observational comedy.

I suppose "of all time" would have to be I Love Lucy - insanely popular, still very funny, and innovated the whole genre (3 camera set-up, studio audience, etc.)

That depends on what it is they are observing. If you have no frame of reference to help understand where they are going with something then it will fall flat on its face. It'll work for some but not for all.

why do people love family guy so much - i've watched it and its always the same thing - repetitive and obnoxious IMO

Family Guy is aquired for sure but the jokes are often different and when they're not they're told differently. The pop culture referances are great and never repeat. Like the Kool-Aid man, and the Goonies with the Corey Haim (sp) referance thrown in too. Ah, good ole' Family Guy. C'mon, who else would talk about Edward Olmos? Who!?
