QuoteFather ted has to make it into any top ten , you can just watch them over and over , likewise Red Dwarf and Blackadder 2 3 and goes forth.
Following on from the thread on Ed Byrne I was wondering what sitcoms people rate. Heres my list:
1. Curb your enthusiasm
2. Seinfeld
3. Frasier
4. Only Fools and Horses (The Grandad Years especially)
5. Citizen Smith
6. Cheers (Particularly the first three seasons)
7. Friends (Again the early ones are the best. Particularly season 2-5, all goes pearsheaped when Chandler annd Monica break up one of the best double acts ever.)
8. Blackadder (2, 3 and goes fourth)
9. My name is Earl
10. That 70's show.

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
Another excellent current one is EVERYONE LOVES RAYMOND and of course how did you forget FAWLTY TOWERS?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
D'oh I new I'd forget some. Ted and Fawlty Towers are quality. ELR is good but not good enough to be considered for the top 10 IMO.

Arrested Development, one of the best comedies ever and also one of the most underrated.
Scrubs and The Green Wing would get into my list too
Larry Be Wyse

The Royle Family, great stuff while it lasted.
Everyone Loves Raymond is bland canned crap churnned out by the US Networks. Friends is simply not funny, as a sit-com it needs to be comedic, I have never laughed during an episode of friends, ever.
Off the top of my head the comedy's I have most enjoyed in recent(ish) years
Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Cheers, Fraiser, Only Fools, The Office, Father Ted, Black Books, Ab Fab, Kath & Kim, Bottom & oops I almost forgot the Royale Family
Cant believe I forgot about Kath & Kim, Bottom and The Royal Family.
(adding them to my list quick smart!)
Larry Be Wyse

In no particular order
Scrubs
Cheers
Fraiser
Father Ted
Simpsons (does it count?)
Blackadder, esp The Second and Goes Forth, didn't care much for the 1st series
Only Fools And Horses
Shameless (well it makes me laugh!!)
Fawlty Towers
3rd Rock From The Sun
Ab Fab is simply awful IMO. Thats taste for ye. Different strokes for... Whatchyou talkin about willis?Originally Posted by endabob1
Third Rock was pretty funny in a goofy sort of way.
I've never seen Arrested Developement, Kath and Kim or Black Books.

Cartoons are not sit-coms so don't count.
Everyone Loves Raymond must be the best example of hit US show that could never attract a UK-Irish audience.
