TV COMEDY

[RobertScorpio]

What are some of your favorite TV comedies, current or past? And are any of them a guilty fetish?

For me? Soap, its first three seasons, was a show that really made me laugh..it was so out there. And all those crazy plots (Aliens/satan's baby) were all used eventually on real soaps..

MASH...No so much after Trapper/Henry left, but those first few seasons were just the best IMO.

All in The Family...Another great show that wasn't always a laughfest, but when it clicked, it was great...

The Big Bang Theory..one of the only comedies I actually like to rewatch old episodes of because they are so well written...

 

[T'Baio]

Three's Company, All In The Family, I Love Lucy, The Simpsons, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock, Cheers, Night Court, Seinfeld...

 

[Canadave]

Hm... my all-time favourites probably looks something like this:

Spaced
Corner Gas
Royal Canadian Air Farce (pre-2001 or so)
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Scrubs
The Simpsons
Futurama
Fawlty Towers

 

[Magnum]

The Honeymooners
The Simpsons

If dramedies were considered, I'd pick Boston Legal.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Top Gear.

When I was a kid Bosom Buddies with Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari was my favorite. I had the biggest crush on Donna Dixon! She was so yummy, I was a kid and didn't know anything about girls, but I knew I liked her!!

Also have to give a shout out to Barbershop the series on Shotime. It only lasted 10 episodes before it got canned, but I remember laughing my butt off while watching the show.

 

[Q2UnME]

Monty Python's Flying Circus - very guilty pleasure, even 'till this day
Addams Family - loved it as a kid
All in the Family
The Jefferson's
Night Court - loved that show ...
Three's Company
M*A*S*H - must see TV growing up ...
Two an a Half Men - always makes me laugh out loud ...
Big Bang Theory - never fails to crack me up...

Add also like to add Boston Leagal to the list because it usually had some really funny stuff tossed into the drama...

Fetish? Um.....no. I really hope you meant "guilty pleasure," because I don't even want to know about people turning their favorite sitcom into a sexual or religious fetish.

 

[RobertScorpio]

THAT was the term.sorry...Guilty Pleasure..

THREE'S COMPANY is mine..I love that show because it was so funny (in the first couple years with the ropers)...

My wifes? THE FACTS OF LIFE...uggh!!!

Guilty fetish ? Is there a comedy about tied up cute redheads ?

The Simpsons, Futurama, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Mock the Week, Red Dwarf and Scrubs are my favourite comedies.

Not even "Keeping Up Appearances"?

You have made an enemy today.

It was either that or "ChuckleVision."

South Park
Family Guy
Freaks and Geeks (I want to kill the bastards who canceled it!)
Monty Python
NewsRadio (RIP Phil)
The Odd Couple
The Bob Newhart Show
The Andy Griffith Show
Leave it to Beaver
Gomer Pyle
Most of the Adult Swim lineup (i.e. Aqua Teens, Sealab, Squidbillies, Harvey Birdman etc.)
Sunny in Philly
Futurama
The Simpsons
King of Queens (I'm sure most people hate this one)
The Mighty Boosh
30 Rock
Arrested Development (I want to kill the bastards who canceled it!)
