All time favorite sitcom

[T-girl hound]

Ok so on my 27th Birthday my ex brought me "Friends" complete box set. I'm convinced it's the greatest ever. What's your favorite?

[jjhill]

It's to hard to choose, for me a 3-way tie between "The Simpsons" "Entourage" and "Family Guy"

Yosh "The Simpsons" a close third, the other is 2nd is one I wrote for two year ago.

[rameses2]

30 Rock,The Simpsons and, it may not be a sitcom,sitcom, but The Venture Brothers

[BrendaQG]

For me no contest. "Curb Your Enthusiasm". It's on HBO, it is what Sienfeld would have been if it was on premium cable.

[FootFetishGuy]

For me, it's gotta be Married With Children, The Simpsons and Arrested Development.

[LTR_Seeker]

Law & Order

[timxxx]

I'm Alan Partridge & Curb Your Enthusiasm

[xrey]

Most recently - The Office.

[hippifried]

I liked 'News Radio' & "WKRP in Cincinatti', but my all time favorite was 'Barney Miller'.

[SheFan]

Currently it's Big Bang Theory

[ttman]

[Jericho]

Steptoe and Son
The Young Ones
Only Fools And Horses

[deadlyray]

Married with Children.

[Dino Velvet]

Law & Order

SVU especially cracks me up. I also get my porno fix looking at dead cunts in cocktail dresses laying in the middle of the park. If I were a jogger it would take all the self control I had not to squeeze one more hot load on her icy blue face.

Best sitcom ever is All In The Family. Archie Bunker still slays me.

[Alyssa87]

The office.

but back in the day, i really loved The Nanny

[SidInNy]

Fawlty Towers. In a league of its own.

Damn...ok...that one is up there too. Maybe edging Spaced out a bit.

1. Fawlty
2. Spaced
3. The Office UK
4. The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin

Wait.. does Flying Circus count?

[T-girl hound]

surprising nobody said "The Cosby show"

[jaycanuck]

Fawlty Towers. In a league of its own.

Damn...ok...that one is up there too. Maybe edging Spaced out a bit.

1. Fawlty

Wait.. does Flying Circus count?

Great list! Loved Reginald Perrin. I think Python would be sketch

[DC]

Has to be seinfeld,,,,,,,

[LTR_Seeker]

quantum leap , threes company, all in the family, night court.

[dgs925]

I can't believe I'm the first to mention Arrested Development - far and away the funniest show ever!

[badpress]

1. Only Fools and Horses
2.Open All Hours
3.Fawlty Towers

[JanetElise]

In chronological order....

The Andy Griffith Show.
Seinfeld.
Family Guy.
The Office.

[Flying Dutchman]

Friends, The Office (UK), Family guy, Two and a half men and American Dad!

[baileyandkc]

I like the Carol Burnett show episode where its the Gone with the Wind takeoff and she wears the drapes as a dress

Maybe Mash first few years, South Park, I Dream of Jeannie for the skimpy outfit and Laugh In, just to watch Teresa Graves dance...boy, she was SWEET!

[idiot savant]

Sanford and son,My wife and kids,Married with Children and the L word(on mute)

[santiago316]

House, Two and A Half Men, Family Guy, Married With Children, Roseanne(up until 8th o r 9th season then it stopped being funny), Sanford and Son

[muhmuh]

coupling (not the bloddy aweful us version)

[envivision]

Frasier........ (only smart people enjoyed that show, are you one of them?)

[4star4]

I'd have to say Cheers.

Woody: What's up Mr. Peterson?
Norm: My ideal weight.... if I were 11 feet tall.

[lupinIII]

Seinfeld, Simpsons (seasons 3-10) and Arrested Development. Also, on the other side of the pond, there's Black Books and Fawlty Towers.

[djlx169]

The Benny Hill show.

[krupaman]

Curb your Enthusiasm followed by the Honeymooners. Oops showing my age now.

[KiraHarden]

My Family. ( British Sitcom) well most BBC sitcoms are great ( Fawlty Towers) is another great show

[twowaybro]

My three favs... 8) 8)

[Celeste]

family guy

[MariaTgirl]

U.S.
Cheers, SOAP, Taxi, Rhoda, Scrubs, Frasier, Bakersfield P.D., Everybody Loves Raymond, The Phil Silvers Show, Family Guy and The Simpsons

U.K.
Dad's Army, Rising Damp, Spaced, Red Dwarf, Steptoe and Son, Hancock's Half Hour, Green Wing, Pulling, Ideal, Nightingales - but NOT the massively over-rated Fawlty Towers (which is just running around, shouting, slamming doors etc).

[dc_guy_75]

Anyone who has mentioned Friends is in need of electroshock therapy. Along with Bush, its why the world hated/hates the United States.

Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves! Haha.

[Jericho]

Nightingales

Obscure one there.
I'd forgotten all about that, that was brilliant!

[lumberjack]

Andy Griffth Show (the Don Knotts years)
Seinfeld
Get Smart
Cheers
The Flintstones

[T-girl hound]

bump

[bte]

Family Guy, American Dad, and an UK show called Absolutely Fabulous.

[chefmike]

Friends?

Friends?

SMDH...Friends is the Celine Dion of sitcoms.

[El_hefe]

And the correct answer is.......... The Honeymooners, Taxi, The Simpsons.

[cockgobbler]

The Honeymooners and All in the Family.

[T-girl hound]

2nd "Frasier"

[emmettray]

No love for 'The Larry Sanders Show' to say nothing of 'Bilko'?

Tut, tut, tut....

[chefmike]

2nd "Frasier"

Too little too late, Francis.

You've already doomed yourself to eternal lameness by your gushing endorsement of the achingly abysmal 'Friends'....

[BiCuriousGeorge]

family guy


Greatest cartoon ever!

Greatest cartoon ever!


Not so fast, pilgrim....I don't watch many cartoons but I'd have to say 'South Park' myself...now if I could only think of a cartoon bad enough to be compared to a spectacularly mediocre yuppie snoozefest sitcom like 'Friends'....well let's see...maybe 'Josie and the Pussycats'...or is that giving 'Friends' too much credit?

I don't know what it was about Friends. The characters were pleasant. The jokes were quite funny. But I just didn't like it, I think because it was too contrived and cutesy.

Oh, I should have put My Name is Earl in my list too.

[Hara_Juku Tgirl]

Top five:

1. Absolutely Fabulous
2. Little Britain
3. Are you being served
4. Keeping up appearances
5. As time goes by

Seinfeld....enough said

[naresuan]

Curb your Enthusiasm is superb and for all us Brits on the forum, Fawlty Towers is unsurpassed..

[T-girl hound]

2nd "Frasier"

Too little too late, Francis.

10 years funboy, need i say more, the show is iconic

[T-girl hound]

Hey anybody remember "Picket fences" ?

[naresuan]

if anyone ever needs to understand the difference between Brits and Yanks, the Fawlty Towers episode when the American comes to stay is a real 'study in action' Bruce Boa -who was actually Canadian- is brilliant. The strength of the show was always the cameo actors in each episode as well as the fantastic scripts!

fawlty towers

[MariaTgirl]

Omg people are still bigging up the eternally lame Fawlty Towers! Have they ever seen any other sitcoms?

Another sitcom which is over praised is Curb Your Enthusiasm. The only funny bit was the "beloved cunt" obituary. In each episode Larry has an altercation with someone. Then, coincidentally and in all of Los Angeles to choose from, he meets them again in a social situation later that day, and hilarity ensues - not!

Good point, zippy. I suppose even mediocrity(or just aspiring to mediocrity like 'Friends') could be considered iconic in some twisted way if it is allowed to fester long enough.

Like Michael Bolton.

Or Celine Dion.

Or I daresay, yourself.









That will be all.

[eclipsemint]

Along the same vein as Fawlty Towers, nobody does misunderstandings like the British.

Has anyone seen the British series of Coupling? Not to be confused with the US spinoff series which wasn't as good, imo. I have all four seasons on DVD. It stars Jack Davenport, who appeared as the stuck up British officer in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

The thing that made it funny was the farce of misunderstandings leading to some funny situations.

eg.
Susan is afraid that her ex boyfriend Patrick has kept a video of her and him having sex. The other guys find the video in Patrick's collection and are watching it when Susan walks in on them.

She exclaims at one point, "What really bothers me is that you three guys having been watching this sex video for 20 minutes and you still haven't realised that it's not me in the video."

Patrick says, "Well, we weren't looking at the faces. Oh yes, you're right. Gee I must have taped over the sex tape of you and me. Well, I only keep the good ones..."

[iloveshemales77]

Top five:

1. Absolutely Fabulous
2. Little Britain
3. Are you being served
4. Keeping up appearances
5. As time goes by


never heard of any of them Hara except 1 & 3

They are all old brit. sit coms... as for "Are you Being Served", that was big in the 70's in the UK, when people still laughed at pussy (as in the female genitalia type) jokes and it was politically correct to portray gays as effete, mincing and limp wristed

My vote goes to "Yes Minister" and I am the proud owner of a boxed DVD set of Bilko, one of the first truly great sitcoms always worth a repeat watching

[eclipsemint]

Ab Fab was great.

Did you ever see the movie Little Voice? It stars Jane Horrocks, the actress who played the wacky personal assistant for LaCroix as well as two other characters in Ab Fab.

She did all the singing in that movie which is phenomenal. She's very versatile. If you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend it.

can't say I have. Thanks for the recommendation eclipse! I'm a big fan of Jane Horrocks.

Dallas for me. This, and abfab. Best quote being:

LOVEEE Are You Being Served!! Love Mrs. Slocombe, her outrageous hair do and color and pussy quotes!! :P

"You're lucky to have me at all, Captain Peacock. I had to thaw me pussy out before I came. It had been out all night."

"Well, the central heating broke down. I had to light the oven and hold my pussy in front."

I really like most British sitcoms but I'm able to sit though entire episodes of Friends and Seinfeld without even a twitch of the mouth. I just don't get what's so funny about those shows...

I second that. Overly hyped up, badly acted and just downright cheesy.

I have four all time favorite sitcoms, Three's Company, Jackie Gleason, Archie Bunker, and the Dukes of Hazard.

[JustMeHere]

Easy. Spaced.

Good call!

I don't know what my all-time favorite is but as the years go by I'm starting to believe I am the only one who truly loved the short-lived "Sports Night"

Also...

Roseanne and I Love Lucy

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I really, really did like Rosanne.

[iloveshemales77]

LOVEEE Are You Being Served!! Love Mrs. Slocombe, her outrageous hair do and color and pussy quotes!!

"You're lucky to have me at all, Captain Peacock. I had to thaw me pussy out before I came. It had been out all night."

~Kisses.

"I was feeling a little brave, so I gave my pussy a shampoo and shave!"

If you like Are You being Served, you should check out "Up Pompeii" with the late, great Frankie Howerd. High camp 70s style.

[Hara_Juku Tgirl]

Lmao! :lol: Thanks, I'll try and see if Amazon.com has it. :P
