To "Golden Age" I'd add Phil Silvers show (Sgt Bilko), Dobie Gillis & Love that Bob... peruse this site if you like oldies.... oh yeah... Burns & Allen Show was a hoot, http://www.reruncentury.com/ia/ Guessing I Love Lucy would fit in there too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Truly a matter of taste, but Seinfeld and the original Saturday Night Live crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an online 24 hour Goonshow station if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Seinfeld. Without a doubt. Curb comes close but for all round brilliance Seinfeld cannot be beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 For me it's British comedy all the way . - Black Adder - Fawlty Towers - Monthy Python's Flying Circus - Mr. Bean - Allo Allo - Little Britain - Keeping Up Appearances - Yes Minister - Alas Smith and Jones - Absolutely Fabolous Life would be boring without them .

Peterw42 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I think an indication of a great comedy show is when it crosses over into popular culture and language etc. There are lines and jokes from Monty python, Seinfeld etc that are now part of everyday speech. Talk about a gay person, "not that there's anything wrong with that", comes from seinfeld. "Dont mention the war", comes from fawlty towers. "We are all individuals, I'm not" from Monty Python.
