Well here I'm again asking about TV and such... Well what is it?
I really don't know much of the subject myself... I have only seen shows
that have runned in my time... But I really want to know more and even more I want
to know other peoples opinions...

I like, no love:

Seinfeld (maybe best one I've ever seen)
Two guys and a girl (and the previous +pizza place, or whatever)
Memory isn't working well (1:02am).

I'll make a poll when I get enough answers...

My faves of all time are:

Roseanne

AND

I Love Lucy

Any Brits out there have to love Blackadder.

Any Brits out there have to love Blackadder.


How could I forget it... Well it's runned here onlyone time and it's been
couple of years ago... But still :confused:
Will be on the poll

Any Brits out there have to love Blackadder.

I like Blackadder, but my favourite sitcom has to be Spaced.

Although I thoroughly enjoy British sitcoms, at the moment I would have to say that the American "Arrested Development" is at the top of my list. Wait, is that considered a sitcom?...

Two and A Half Men
I Love Lucy
The Nanny
According to Jim
Fresh Prince of BelAir

Yes, Minister
Dads Army
Red Dwarf

Seinfeld

Everybody Loves Raymond.

The Vicar of Dibley :D

Everybody Loves Raymond.

I forgot about Raymond. I'm really going to miss that show since it's in its final season. I think I love "Robert" the best - he is such a funny - straight man comedian.

"BOYS FROM THE DWARF"

The Young ones, Blackadder, Faulty Towers and Bottom also get honourable mentions

Sitcoms suck. The old ones were ok: Roseanne and I Love Lucy and stuff. FRIENDS and all these new ones are lame

Fresh Prince of Belair

Damn I love Will..

Although Black Adder and Fawlty Towers were awesome.... I have to go with Seinfeld for sheer number of "laugh out loud" moments. Here is one of my favorite scenes from Seinfeld. The "Library Cop" comes to Jerry's apartment to harass him about a book he has overdue from 20 years ago...




BOOKMAN: You took this book out in 1971.

JERRY: Yes, and I returned it in 1971.

BOOKMAN: Yeah, '71. That was my first year on the job. Bad year for libraries.

Bad year for America. Hippies burning library cards, Abby Hoffman

telling everybody to steal books. I don't judge a man by the length of

his hair or the kind of music he listens to. Rock was never my bag. But

you put on a pair of shoes when you walk into the New York Public

Library, fella.

JERRY: Look, Mr. Bookman. I--I returned that book. I remember it very

specifically.

BOOKMAN: You're a comedian, you make people laugh.

JERRY: I try.

BOOKMAN: You think this is all a big joke, don't you?

JERRY: No, I don't.

BOOKMAN: I saw you on T.V. once; I remembered your name--from my list. I looked

it up. Sure enough, it checked out. You think because you're a celebrity

that somehow the law doesn't apply to you, that you're above the law?

JERRY: Certainly not.

BOOKMAN: Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y'know that little stamp,

the one that says "New York Public Library"? Well that may not mean

anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot.

Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I've seen your type before:

Flashy, making the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what you're

thinking. What's this guy making such a big stink about old library

books? Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without

libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change

the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right

now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees

and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers?

Doesn't HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue

fines and missing books, you'd better think again. This is about that

kid's right to read a book without getting his mind warped! Or: maybe

that turns you on, Seinfeld; maybe that's how y'get your kicks. You and

your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for ya, joy-boy: Party time

is over. Y'got seven days, Seinfeld. That is one week!

i have only one thing to say....



...SCRUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seinfeld, no contest.
Though House would make a close second, if it counted as a sitcom.

Blackadder,
Spaced,
Red Dwarf (especially the earlier series),
Married With Children,
The Young Ones,
Fawlty Towers

That's all I can think of right now.

My two favorites:
The Thin Blue Line
Father Ted

Seinfeld, no doubt! Who could possibly hate Cosmo Kramer?

Blackadder,
Married With Children,
Fawlty Towers,
The Office,
Two Pints of Lager

Fawlty Towers; Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister; Blackadder; Black Books

The Norm Show!

The Norm Show!

You mean the Norm Macdonald show?

Father Ted

The Office
The Royle Family
Seinfeld
Frasier
+ A few Finnish ones I shan't bother you with.

You mean the Norm Macdonald show?
I dont know the one im thinking of changed its name a couple of times?!?

Fawlty Towers
The Office
Yes, Minister
and my current favourite Two Pints of Lager

Kumman kaa

Oh yeah! I forgot The Office and The Royale Family.

“Pasta my arse.” – Jim Royale

Fraiser

I Love Lucy

Can't believe I didn't just post it.

TRAILER PARK BOYS, crazy canadians.

:)

Kumman kaa
Sisko ja sen veli.

Little Britain.
Two pints of Lager.
All of blackadder.
Spaced.
Open all Hours.
Fawlty towers.

Fraiser.
Will and Grace.

In no particular order:

Married... With Children
Blackadder
Red Dwarf
Seinfeld
The Goodies (not really a Sitcom, though- they did then to move about a lot!)
Black Books

I'm seeing a lot of British names there, and not many US ones... And there hasn't been a decent Australian sitcom since "Hey Dad!", and that was 15 or so years ago now...

dads army, blackadder, fawlty towers, only fools and horses, the young ones, etc etc. classic british sitcom is the greatest.

The Goodies should really be classed asa sit com really and yes, my daughter (aged nine) has worn the three video tapes we got her to a frazzle, so they get a vote to.
Long may Kitten Kong reign!
(Unless you are having a bun fight at the OK corall of course)

Does 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' not deserve a mention, or is it not considered to be a sitcom?

Blackadder, Allo' Allo', Fawlty Towers, Scrubs etc. etc.

Blackadder, Allo' Allo', Fawlty Towers, Scrubs etc. etc.

Scrubs:

Young doctor, thinking: If that resident corners me one more time, I think my head's going to explode!

::resident comes around corner:: "Hey newbie, hold it right there, I need you to take a patient..."

Newbie: Yaaarg!! ::head explodes, audience sees nothing but a neck with a spinal bone sticking out::

Resident: "Your head just exploded. I can't believe your head exploded. How do you expect to help people if your head keeps exploding? You make me sick, you pathetic newbie!"

Newbie ::flashes back to reality, his head is still there:: What sir?

So let the voting begin...
As promised I made a poll, I tried to get the ones wich were mentioded the most.
