best comedy show on tv (non animated)

what non animated show on tv now brings unique characters and storylines on a consistent basis as well as tickeling your funny bone? i know theres a whole bunch of shows out now that '
try' to be funny...ie cbs's monday lineup...but dont really cut it.

some of my faves now is malcolm in the middle, scrubs, and friends.

I really like Scrubs closely followed by That 70's show, allow i only watch reruns of that so I don't know if the new ones are any good.

Its on BBCAmerica out here, and its probably the most consistently funny show I've ever seen. Sure, most of the storylines revolve around sex, relationships, and the difference between how men and women view the world - but after 3 series (aired in the US), I see no signs of it stopping.

How good is it? Well first off, they are currently in production of the American Version. The pilot has already been shot, and i believe they have the cast finalized.

Oliver Bean is hilarious. Trust me, you need to watch this sitcom.

I look for good ensemble casts that work well together.

Friends

News Radio (God bless Phil Hartman.)

Drew Carrey (at least the first few episodes)

Actually, the cast of West Wing does comedy pretty well too, even though it's billed as a drama.

"Friends" - funny and cute
"Will and Grace" - OUTRAGEOUSLY Hilarious and the characters, like Jack, are so FUNNY and Talented!

i love that show!
i'm amazed that it was mentioned here though.
it was on every thursday night here, but then mid-season, the ABC decided to postpone the rest of the series indefinitely.

needless to say that i complained. but nothing has come of it.

Taxi was the best.

For shows still on the air, I like Insomniac on Comedy Central.

There are a few. At the top of the list for most unique, interesting and 'Makes me Laugh out loud' is Curb Your Enthusiasm. My wife always says that she thinks she lives with Larry.

Other funny shows are The Bernie Mac Show, and Lucky (FX)

Curb Your Enthusiasm is hilarious. The Daily Show is my daily dose of humour. Mr. Show is great. As is Kids in the Hall, though they don't seem to be airing either as much as they should.

HBO has a lot of fantastic comedies-The Larry Sanders Show and Sex and the City are funny.

Best live action comedy show (not a variety show) still going is probably Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Monty P. Flying Circus is always good (mind you there's some animation but we won't count that even though it is great), I love 70's show (Red is the best) and I like Frasier for the dude that plays Niles. Love the character.
There is a bizarre show called Trailer Park Boys....I don't think I'd necessarily call it funny but it's sorta warped!

Tough Crowd is funny becuase every now and then they say some f#cked up sh*t.

Daily Show is consistently funny

that 70's show is freakin hilarious as well.

certainly nothing new this season...have to agree with '70s show nd Curb Your Enthusiasm [keeping it to current shows so Honeymooners, Odd Couple, etc. are not here]

For more recent shows, I'd say:
Rock Me Baby
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire
Seinfield
- its always good for a laugh or two.

For older shows, i have to go with The Cosby Show and Sanford and Son.

It's not exactly a "comedy" but Gilmore Girls is one of the smartest and funniest shows on television.
