The Roswell Man

_Nyx_
I myself don't watch much TV. My kids are addicted to SouthPark, Family Guy, King of the Hill and The Simpsons
TheBlueDragon
I would have to say,
simpsons,
family guy,
american dad,
king of the hill,
CSI,
an old time favorite is M.A.S.H
turbonium
Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy - the only newer ones I like are cartoons! (geez, what does that say for the quality of other sitcoms today?) no.gif

Vintage: Taxi, Cheers, MASH thumbsup.gif
BurnSide
Indeed, since when did a cartoon become a sitcom?
turbonium
Point taken! There ARE no good 'sitcoms' in the strict sense of the term! Topic question was maybe meant to be 'Favorite Comedy Show' ?
turbonium
Almost forgot All In The Family - but recently watching one, it seems to have not aged well, feels 'dated'.
saint seiya
Well I just like The Simpsons and Family Guy. I'm still not sure about American Dad.
AztecInca
I do love King of the Hill and Family guy, they rock!

I have had several over the years here is my list some were short lived but I still like them here they are in no special order

Happy Days
Mork n Mindy
Herman's Head
Three's Company
All in the Family
The Jefferson's
Maude
Laverne and Shirley
Married with Children
Home Improvement
Shakezulah
That 70's Show, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond (only 3 episodes left sad.gif ), Two and a Half Men, and a few others.
AncientMyste
Todays sit coms are smelly. I don't think I've watched a sit com for yrs. My 2 all time favs are:
I Love Lucy
M.A.S.H.

If cartoons are considered sit coms, I'd have to say Family Guy.
JennRose
I really liked News Radio. It had just a good cast with good chemistry, especially before Phil Hartman was killed.

TV today is almost all crap. sad.gif I'm now pretty much a movie watcher.
~Nemesis~
i like everybody loves raymond (dang its the last season) and family guy and the simpsons. given cartoons count grin2.gif
_hAiLO_
Man I feel embarassed wacko.gif . I like to watch Disney Channel sitcoms like 'Thats So Raven', 'Phil of the Future', 'The Suite Life of Zach and Cody' or 'Sister Sister'...I like watching Raven more.

And here you all are watching the more mature sitcoms laugh.gif . Thats So Raven is on! I gotta go.
TheOriginalF
Coupling thumbsup.gif (not the really bad american version that was on a few seasons ago)!!!!
Walken
I was just watching Friends...

...That show is too fast. They're all trying to hard to shoot off one liners. no.gif
JackBauer
Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond, by far. Seinfeld had really, no point. And Everybody Loves Raymond is just comedy at its best.
Walken
I have never actually watched a full episode of it.
KayEl
The best sitcoms I have seen so far are: Three's Company, especially Suzanne Somer's last full season with the show. Married With Children, starting with season two on...because in Season one, Peg cooks, the fridge is full of food and Al actually cared about the brood.

Also near the top of my list are The Golden Girls, and the Honeymooners. Cheers is also okay, especially after Shelley Long left.

Other sitcoms I used to watch are Too CLose For Comfort and The Facts of Life (yikes!!!!)

Sorry AncientMyste, MASH is so overrated.

I am proud to say I have never watch a single episode of Seinfeld or Friends.

Me too thumbsup.gif
TheCrow
Sienfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond and Will and Grace are 3 of the most unfunniest and over rated shows in comedy history. I have seen an episode or two of each and the corner of my mouth didn't even twitch to anything that might resemble a smile at them..

Anywho, everyone know that the best comedies come from Britain..

Phoenix Nights
Max and Paddy's Road to No-where
Red Dwarf
Blackadder
Peep Show
(everyone needs to see this, it's pure genius)
I'm Alan Patridge
The Office
Men Behaving Badly
Fawlty Towers
One Foot in the Grave
Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps
Dad's Army
Mr. Bean
Only Fool's and Horses


America does have some good sitcoms though...

Married with Children
Friends
Fraiser (The sequence where Niles is in Fraisers apartment alone and he's ironing his pants of something is one of the funniest visual comedy moments ever IMO, rival only to Mr. Bean. David Hyde Pierce plays it so well)
Scrubs (is very good, one of my fave things on at the moment)
The Simpsons (going downhill)
Futurama (shame they cancelled it)
Family Guy (So good they brought it back)
TheCrow
Oh and let us not forget the new Doctor Who... Sadly though, I don't think it means to be an actual comedy hmm.gif

(Walken tongue.gif hehe)
*MoG*
Crow I agree with every single one of your British choices, as for the American choices I only like these 2 - Friends & Married with children, but I would like to add 'Dead Like Me' I think that is good.

But basically I prefer british comedy - it is more suttle with lots of inuendo, sarcasm, slapstick and swearing. thumbsup.gif
openmind1963
right now there is not a better show on tv than"24".
dramas,hawaii five-o,the csi shows,law/order shows,

PadawanOsswe

You've made my list rofl.gif

I think the office is the best from that list. Theres a lot of advertisments for peep show lately. It actually looks pretty good.
colorless
I'd have to say Seinfeld.

And I just realized that it's already been a year since Friends ended. That was ridiculously fast.... blink.gif
jeceris
the crow's list is the best so far i'd have to say.

my list include many of those shows.

only fools and horses

blackadder

red dwarf

seinfeld

father ted

simpsons

family guy

fawlty towers

but the worst.....3's company.
it was crap, predictable situations and formula comedy, the original, man about the house was at least a little better.
