Re: Top Ten or so TV Comedies Cannoli Send a noteboard - 12/01/2024 04:22:57 AM

I don't actually like TV comedies, I am realizing as I attempt to compile my own list.

Rick & Morty
Yes, Minister
Community
Parks & Recreation
Cosby Show
Scrubs
Happy Endings
I Love Lucy
The Honeymooners
Raising Hope

Honorable Mention:
Married with Children
Manhattan Love Story

I saw Friends in the day, but I had a love-hate relationship with it at best, and now it leaves me cold. Same with The Office. When I was a kid, my grandmother loved MASH, but it always rubbed me wrong, and watching it as an adult didn't change my opinions. I could never get into all sorts of other comedies that were huge at the time, like Fraiser, Cheers, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond (many of which my father has discovered in hindsight, and when I join him to watch a ballgame, he is often finishing up an episode or two of one of these, and I just can't get into them).

His stand up was the worst. So unfunny. The Shrike - 11/01/2024 10:14:57 PM 252 Views
So the show's no good? aerocontrols - 11/01/2024 09:56:06 PM 213 Views

Ooooh this is so hard. Top 4 have not changed in decades though. The Shrike - 11/01/2024 09:02:29 PM 260 Views
Oh I forgot Absolutely Fabulous. Thats number three. Thanks, Legolas! The Shrike - 11/01/2024 09:17:41 PM 228 Views

Yes, I did wonder about that actually... Legolas - 11/01/2024 09:25:17 PM 247 Views
You and I have very many in common. LiterateDog - 12/01/2024 02:27:47 AM 237 Views
Oh, this is easier to answer. Seems we have even less overlap, though. Legolas - 11/01/2024 09:10:55 PM 243 Views
Haha. The Shrike - 11/01/2024 09:19:16 PM 243 Views
Regarding your question, see my edit. Legolas - 11/01/2024 09:32:02 PM 263 Views
Damn it, I forgot Archer and Monty Python! *NM* damookster - 11/01/2024 10:00:45 PM 107 Views
If we're including panel shows, my answers are easier! Ghavrel - 11/01/2024 11:40:48 PM 267 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 229 Views
They're quite good! Ghavrel - 13/01/2024 10:43:30 PM 243 Views
QI! Floffe - 13/01/2024 07:25:00 PM 254 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 271 Views
I think you were the one who introduced me to "Yes Minister" Cannoli - 12/01/2024 04:00:03 AM 290 Views
Good to hear! Legolas - 12/01/2024 08:50:39 AM 279 Views
I also forgot Sanford & Son. Another great comedy. *NM* damookster - 11/01/2024 10:08:48 PM 101 Views
I don't really watch comedy, so I can only think of a few! Ghavrel - 11/01/2024 11:37:57 PM 244 Views
I appreciate the chance to add a few extra. LiterateDog - 12/01/2024 02:21:14 AM 243 Views

Ok, I'll bite ... is this rejuvenating the site, btw? Tom - 12/01/2024 03:08:21 PM 264 Views
Futurama and Newhart are excellent picks. *NM* damookster - 12/01/2024 03:23:56 PM 93 Views
