My all time favorite COMEDY SERIES

[Clutch]

These series I can watch over and over and laugh every time. One thing I noticed though is that only one is American. Am I forgetting some or does this say something about the state of American television?

Revised List:

The Young Ones
Bottom
Saxondale
The Mighty Boosh
Snuff Box
Sanford & Son
The IT Crowd
The Office
Black Books
Fawlty Towers
Trailer Park Boys
Spaced
Kids in the Hall
League of Gentlemen

Mighty Boosh is a good one!

I prefer the U.S. Office but that's because I live in the U.S.

I also love Flight of the Concords.

 

[jedi573]

Friends and Seinfeld. Yeah, I'm easy.

"What do you think you're doing, pig? Do you really give a fig, pig? And what's your favourite sort of gig, pig? Barry Manilow Or the black and white minstrel show?"

 

[Clutch]

Bam! Knew I was forgetting something. Love Flight of the Conchords. Although they are from New Zealand. :lol I could maybe watch the first couple of seasons of the American Office, but they really lost it later on, IMHO.

 

[SSgt Burton]

I Love Lucy

Gilligan's Island

Mork and Mindy

Three's Company

The Flinstones (Do cartoons count? I'm sure someone will say Family Guy and/or The Simpsons... but not me. )



Not too many recent comedies make me laugh.

I'm partial to SCTV and Father Ted. I like other shows but both of those always get me laughing.

 

[Clutch]

I was gonna say excluding children's series and cartoons, but I don't know too many people who grew up in the 60's-70's who didn't like Gilligan's Island.

I Love Lucy

Gilligan's Island

Mork and Mindy

Three's Company

The Flinstones (Do cartoons count? I'm sure someone will say Family Guy and/or The Simpsons... but not me. )



Not too many recent comedies make me laugh.

I'm not sure if I could come up with a definitive list, but I'd like to add a couple that appear to have been overlooked.

M*A*S*H* - when it comes to American television it is a pinnacle that can't be overlooked.

Spaced - I loved this program.

 

[Clutch]

How could I forget Fawlty Towers!? :facepalm Que?
