I am not that crazy about US sitcoms but my favorite would be 'married with children'.

Fawlty Towers

Honeymooners

I Love Lucy

Seinfeld (but you have to be American to get the humour)

And, best of all, Southpark!

As well as some of those above.

How could anyone forget Steptoe & Son. Even though i was too young for the originals, the repeats had me in stitches.

The rest of us aren't as simple as you may think. I certainly understood the humour.

That wasn't meant as an insult. A lot of people think you have to be a New Yorker to get Seifeld humor. :o

Not insulted at all :o . Growing up in Australia, as well as Aussie comedy we had a healthy diet of UK & US comedies so we generally understand most English speaking humour.

Red Dwarf (Series1-3)

Interesting, if you look at the one common series on most people's list it is Fawlty Towers. I would venture that this is probably the funniest show of all time, worldwide. Gut splitting at times. Too bad it was so short.

Two great characters:

And John Cleese is fantastic on the big screen too. Who can forget "A Fish called Wanda?"

Simpsons type material & anything by eddy murphy with shit & fart jokes.

American Oldies:

The Honeymooners

Amos and Andy

The Cid Ceasar Show

Saturday Night Live (original cast)

:o Me

Regards

Many posted which I agree with but really enjoyed Kath & Kim, ABC (Australia).

Edit: Just remembered a classic from the past....the "Doctor" series (Doctor in the House, Doctor in Charge, Doctor at Large, etc.)

Mother & Son is another classic.

Anyone remember Brass Eye?

Its interesting to consider how comedy shows age. Do they still seem really good over time?

For example, I loves Monty Python's Flying Circus as a kid. But I would never watch those old shows now. I can't imagine ever not seeing the humor in a Seinfeld classic. And, btw, wasn't Seinfeld a huge hit in Japan?
