Favourite Comedy TV Series

[ReincarnatedFTP]

IT Crowd and Mission Hill were good one time experiences.
Futurama and Always Sunny In Philadelphia are my all time favorites though.
I'd also rank Frisky Dingo and Archer (the spy one) as great but I hardly ever watch them anymore.

Big Bang Theory - great nerd humor and sometimes creepy mirror of your own group of friends.

How I Met Your Mother - NPH is pretty much the best reason to watch this. Though what first interested me was that Alison Hannigan is in it.

My favourites include:
Futurama
The Big Bang Theory
Glee
Scrubs
The Middle
How I Met Your Mother

Yeah, the I.T Crowd is awesome, though i dont think you can get it outside the U.K
However, im sure its available on torrent, i really gotta reccommend it.

Also, 'Im Alan Partridge' is awesome (L)(L)

and yeah, Peep show, or That Mitchell and Webb Look.

If you can find it, Greg the Bunny was excellent. It sadly only lasted one season...

 

[Grey_Focks]

First off, re-watch Arrested Development. After your done watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Then Futurama. That is all.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia always makes me laugh my ass off.

Whats that?
Its a baby we found in the dumpster
Well its not yours put it back.

God I love its Always Sunny

Spaced, or Hippies.

Peep Show too but someone already said that.

30 Rock is good too.

 

[Tourette]

Blackadder and Father Ted have to be the greatest comedy shows ever.
Ali G, Bo Selecta and Little Britain are also hilarious.
Coupling seasons 1,2 and 3 were great but the 4th series sucked so bad.


edited as I forgot to mention Monty Python. I shall now punch myself and sit in the corner for an hour.

 

[MrNickster]

Friends, Seinfeld, The Drew Carey Show, The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, The IT Crowd, Anything Monty Python, The Sketch Show, The Goodies, Fawlty Towers, Scrubs, Two and a Half Men.

Those are the only ones I can think of right now

Well after Arrested Development everything will seem like a step down, and almost everything will seem like a HUGE step down. I have actually been looking for a new comedy show myself, and after trying many, many bad - or just meh - shows, I have found something with a bit of an AD feel to it: Community. It has jumped straight to the top of my comedy watchlist ahead of The Office and 30 Rock, which were the only (current) ones I liked.

Some of the AD feel may come from the fact that Joe and Anthony Russo directed the pilot of both, and from what I have seen in interviews they have had a great impact on the style and tone of the series going forward.

 

[Ninjamedic]

The Day Today
Red Dwarf
The Mighty Boosh

 

[Nickthequick]

The Sarah Silverman Program

Drawn Together

South Park

The list is endless.

Arrested Development - I followed that show across different time slots and nights and multiple cancellations. It is the best American comedy program I've ever watched.

Peep Show - The epitome of what makes English humor so good, a brilliant classic work of silly genius.

 

[wkrepelin]

Try the IT Crowd. It's full of witty computer related humor.

This ^^, Archer, Big Bang Theory, Better off Ted, Scrubs, M*A*S*H, Red Dwarf, Futurama, The Guild (web), The Legend of Niel (web), Doraleous and Associates (web), Dead Like Me, Pushing Dasies, 30 Rock.

These are just some of my favorites

EDIT: 3rd Rock From the Sun (John Lithgow is a comedy god)

Easy, along with Community start watching Parks and Recreation and Modern Family.

These are inarguably the best comedies on TV, but be sure to start with Season 2 of Parks because the first season is trash. I didn't watch the first season and started watching the second when I had heard it was a major improvement. It is and I think it and Modern Family can stack up against AD, which is probably the best comedy ever.

The deal with Modern Family is that it feels like a show that's in its fifth season. Not in that it's now stale and losing steam, but because it has the confidence of a long running show yet it's in its first season.

Whatever you do, don't watch Two and a Half Men. It's the worst show on TV unless you 50+ years old or brain dead.

Thank you.
