Ten is so limiting, particularly with something as subjective as comedy. Do you include comedy/variety shows? Maybe...

These are my favorites, in no specific order. Feel free to disagree.

All in the Family
The Jeffersons
Good Times
Barney Miller
Soap
In Living Color
I Dream of Jeanie (Barbara Eden was my first celebrity crush)
One Day at a Time (original)
Cheers
The Honeymooners
M.A.S.H.
The Smothers Brothers
Maude
The Golden Girls
The Addams Family


is that new newest show on your list? Your age is showing, here. I would chop a bunch of these (but many I only know from seeing reruns, occasionally), add Taxi to your classic old comedies, then Seinfeld, The Office, and probably a few more modern ones as well. South Park and Simpsons, for instance.

Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

His stand up was the worst. So unfunny. The Shrike - 11/01/2024 10:14:57 PM 282 Views
So the show's no good? aerocontrols - 11/01/2024 09:56:06 PM 243 Views

Well, your opinion is NO GOOD! aerocontrols - 11/01/2024 10:03:13 PM 279 Views
Ooooh this is so hard. Top 4 have not changed in decades though. The Shrike - 11/01/2024 09:02:29 PM 289 Views
Oh I forgot Absolutely Fabulous. Thats number three. Thanks, Legolas! The Shrike - 11/01/2024 09:17:41 PM 256 Views

Yes, I did wonder about that actually... Legolas - 11/01/2024 09:25:17 PM 271 Views
You and I have very many in common. LiterateDog - 12/01/2024 02:27:47 AM 265 Views
Oh, this is easier to answer. Seems we have even less overlap, though. Legolas - 11/01/2024 09:10:55 PM 282 Views
Haha. The Shrike - 11/01/2024 09:19:16 PM 277 Views
Regarding your question, see my edit. Legolas - 11/01/2024 09:32:02 PM 296 Views
Damn it, I forgot Archer and Monty Python! *NM* damookster - 11/01/2024 10:00:45 PM 134 Views
If we're including panel shows, my answers are easier! Ghavrel - 11/01/2024 11:40:48 PM 297 Views
Yeah, the Brits are great at absurd panel shows... but that one is the best of all. Legolas - 12/01/2024 08:52:55 AM 260 Views
They're quite good! Ghavrel - 13/01/2024 10:43:30 PM 273 Views
QI! Floffe - 13/01/2024 07:25:00 PM 285 Views
Yeah, QI is one of those too, though not quite as hilarious as it's also supposed to be interesting. Legolas - 13/01/2024 10:38:16 PM 306 Views
I think you were the one who introduced me to "Yes Minister" Cannoli - 12/01/2024 04:00:03 AM 369 Views
Good to hear! Legolas - 12/01/2024 08:50:39 AM 320 Views
I also forgot Sanford & Son. Another great comedy. *NM* damookster - 11/01/2024 10:08:48 PM 115 Views
I don't really watch comedy, so I can only think of a few! Ghavrel - 11/01/2024 11:37:57 PM 273 Views
I appreciate the chance to add a few extra. LiterateDog - 12/01/2024 02:21:14 AM 274 Views

Ok, I'll bite ... is this rejuvenating the site, btw? Tom - 12/01/2024 03:08:21 PM 295 Views
Futurama and Newhart are excellent picks. *NM* damookster - 12/01/2024 03:23:56 PM 105 Views
