August 16, 200718 yr Author I am not that crazy about US sitcoms but my favorite would be 'married with children'.
August 16, 200718 yr Fawlty Towers Honeymooners I Love Lucy Seinfeld (but you have to be American to get the humour) And, best of all, Southpark!
August 16, 200718 yr 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.
August 16, 200718 yr Seinfeld (but you have to be American to get the humour) The rest of us aren't as simple as you may think. I certainly understood the humour.
August 16, 200718 yr Seinfeld (but you have to be American to get the humour) 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.

August 16, 200718 yr Seinfeld (but you have to be American to get the humour) 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. Not insulted at all . 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. I just realised I left the Goodies off my list...classic stuff.
August 16, 200718 yr The list goes on and IMHO will go by country English shows monty python open all hours steptoe and son on the busses till death do us part it aint half hot mum dads army fawlty towers 2 ronnies American stuff Seinfeld married with children honeymooners mork and mindy Oz stuff Norman Gunstan Mother and son Naked Vicar Auntie Jack Paul Hogan show Graham kennedy show red faces the list goes on
August 16, 200718 yr Fawlty Towers Blackadder dinnerladies Red Dwarf (Series1-3) Frasier Wiley Coyote
August 16, 200718 yr 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?"
August 16, 200718 yr American Oldies: The Honeymooners Amos and Andy The Cid Ceasar Show Saturday Night Live (original cast) Me
August 16, 200718 yr 1. sienfeld mr bean. (and, thais seem to enjoy mr bean). black adder. the goodies.
August 16, 200718 yr Garro, I agree on that one. Father Ted is class. Extras The Office (UK) Morecambe and Wise Christmas shows Frasier Monty Python Simpsons The Fast Show Malcolm in the middle Phoenix Nights Yes Minster
August 16, 200718 yr Phoenix Nights forgot about that one. Excellent Don't think anyone has mentioned Shameless (every series)
August 16, 200718 yr Past Milligoon (Spike Milligan RIP) Benny Hill RIP Python Open all Hours Goodies ARRR days of my youth Present Little Britain Otherwise, in my opinion, Sadly very little at the moment that can or will be classed as “Memorable” Regards
August 16, 200718 yr 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.
August 16, 200718 yr 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?
