Family guy is quite possibly the funniest thing ever concieved by man. Probably it's so good they didn't see the pint of putting it on the list because it would obviously win.

Well if you stop to look at yourself in every mirror and have hooks on your manhood (see Backwards the book where Cat gets laid...stupidly funny) then its kinda going to be bad...

Depends upon how hard you find it to walk past mirrors without stopping... "Miaaaaoooooow, I'm so cool!"

The League of Gentlemen. In a league of its own when it comes to bizaare, sick, original comedy. Really enjoyed Spaced and Peepshow too.

Favourite British sitcom: Python, although Father Ted and Blackadder come a close second and third.

Favourite American sitcom: Scrubs, with Frasier getting second place.

Favourite cartoon: Family Guy, without a doubt.

Oh man, how could I possibly have forgotten The League of Gentlemen or Spaced?

The Simpsons, still.

Has anyone else read 'Planet Simpson' ?

On the list, Blackadder with the Flying Circus a close second. Otherwise, it's a toss-up between Spaced and Black Books.

Oh yes, Spaced is amazing!

Especially the two episodes that feature Tyres (the Northern Irish pillhead bicycle delivery guy)... so funny...

What about 'The Office'? That deserves a mention.
I found Python went downhill after John Cleese left. The first couple of series were brilliant, but the last one...hmmm...not so good.

Python without Cleese just isn't really Python. The office was funny, but it isn't in the same league as the greats.

Fawlty Towers. 12 episodes of comedic genius. Get them, watch them, BELIEVE!

I would go with 'Allo 'Allo. One of the most original comedies I've seen.

Fawlty Towers, and i would choose that even if Family Guy was on the list

The Simpsons rock
Family Guy yah for Fox growing some balls
Monty Python-And now for something completly different
Scrubs has got rather anal the last 2 seasons too much caring but Turk and JewD crack me up. :p
Sealab 2021-The FCC will never shut them down. ;)
ATHF-does it stand for something?

Monty Python... they pushed the bounderies of taste well into the realms of Tastlessness. Cross dressing, explosions, violence and nudity, religion, government... they were the best. everyone else after them are pale imitators.

Blackadder is "the shit", but I'm going with Seinfeld.

My favorite episode of Blackadder? It's a tie between the one where Baldric (sp?) named himself Ploppy, and the one with the Thingy-Shaped Turnip (or was that the same episode?).

Why am I going with Seinfeld then, you ask? Well, the longevity and amount of episodes has a lot to do with it. But the simple truth is that I grew up watching the show in the 90's, and I've got good memories of it. Better days, they were.

ATHF is Aqua Teen Hunger Force. And it's quickly becoming my all-time favorite show, along with Family Guy (why weren't these on the fucking list!?).

M*A*S*H rocks my socks. BTW, the final 2 1/2 finale still holds the record for the TV event with the most viewers...

I feel like I betrayed hawkeye now, with me voting for simpsons and all... :(

I voted Python but it was tough as Blackadder and The Simpsons are the Dog's Bollocks too.

The Vicar of Dibley; but I like British in general.

And the Brits are winning on the poll!

Well now.. thats FUNNY! Thinking that whatever show u don`t understand or like its probably not funny.. ;)
News flash my friend.. when ull have a family (or ull be close to that ) you could probably understand some of the jokes.
