Fraiser and Friends, particularly the older episodes.
I enjoy Will and Grace, although the title characters aren't as good as the supporting cast. I like Scrubs a lot, too. I guess I watch NBC more than any other network.

For shows not on any longer - Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, and Black Adder (hence, my nick
 )For shows currently airing, there is really none that really make me laugh consistently. I chuckle most often at Coupling and Scrubs I guess. I watch King of Queens every now and then as well, but that's more to oggle Leah Remini.

I think the Daily Show is my vote for funniest non-cartoon... Not the sketches/interviews so much as just Jon Stewart doing the news updates. Man that is some good shit every time.
When it comes to sitcoms, I think Scrubs is the only one that I laugh out loud at consistantly! |

Curb Your Enthusiasm is my favorite
The Office on BBC is also up there I like the BBC Coupling but can't get over how bad the US version was...Who did the casting for that? Thank God they cancelled that one!

Malcolm in the Middle.
I've unfortuantely haven't seen any episodes this season. But I've seen most of the past ones, and they're consistently hilarious. Dewey is awesome!

They don't seem to even be playing in late night re-runs anymore, but I love Kids in the Hall and the Upright Citizens Brigade. Who can forget all the memorable characters? : Chicken Lady, Cabbage Head, Head Crusher, Gavin, Danny, etc. Leave it to Comedy Central to cancel or not air good comedy. Battlebots was cool for a few shows but not worth UCB's slot by a long shot.

There is a wide spectrum, but that is a good thing.
Coupling - the UK version is great, but more importantly the lead actor (dunno name) was in a shortlived vampire drama Ultraviolet which kicked serious ass. It's on DVD in the UK and it's my plug of the week. The female lead in Coupling is damn hot as well... Seinfeld - because the show about nothing often hits closer to home than we wish. Sports Night - i may have the title wrong, but it was also short lived half hour comedy in the US that really earned ESPN Sportcenter fans proper. MTV News - they just need to add Dennis Miller somehow and today's opportunities at sarcasm will not be completely wasted. |

Current:
Daily Show (only thing currently in production that makes me laugh out loud) Insomniac Gilmore Girls -- some of the cleverest wordplay you're ever going to see. That 70's Show -- but mainly for Red. Past: Python The first six-eight episodes (original summer 'season') of Northern Exposure. Carl Jung in the cab of a semi is an image that'll stay with me forever. Police Squad -- of course. I'm going to put in an honorable mention for a very unfashionable show from 30-40 years ago, The Beverly Hillbillies. Mostly it wasn't anything special, but occasionally it reached heights of absurdism that were positively Pythonesque. |

Still fighting it.

friends, coupling, will and grace and any other comedy by committee are all awful. i state this as fact because there is documentary evidence to prove it. i don't even know how some of you can put will and grace as the best comedy show on tv. i consider myself to have a reasonably good sense of humour, and i can sit through will and grace without cracking a smile.
curb your enthusiasm on the other hand is the definition of good comedy. the office, scrubs, mash, seinfeld, people like us... all much much better. |
