nomad Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Spaced is probably my favourite. Although do enjoy Black Books, IT Crowd, Fools and Horses, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Family Guy and Cuckoo as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSheep Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Definitely big bang theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Before I get started with the best, let's just address the sh*te. Big Bang Theory & How I Met Your Mother. What a shower of sh*te. Best (in no particular order) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Only Fools and Horses Modern Family Peep Show Parks and Recreation Arrested Development Royle Family You can add Archer, The Thick of It, The League and Curb Your Enthusiasm to the list but they aren't a traditional sitcom format. The Simpsons is in a similar situation but it required it's own sentence as it's the greatest tv show of all time. Only up to around season 8 of course.

Heisenberg Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 In no particular order. Only Fools and Horses Fawlty Towers Two And A Half Men (With Charlie Sheen) Friends Royle Family Everybody Loves Raymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Current TV: Modern Family, by a country mile. Trollied Past: Blackadder Friends Peep Show Ab Fab Gimme Gimme Gimme Cougar Town was good but I think it might have been cancelled in the US after 3 series.

Duracell Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Big Bang Theory....do people ACTUALLY find that funny? Are you listening to the dialogue, or the canned laughter? The plot of every episode is they're all geeky and one is borderline autistic. Anyway, as someone with real and true taste (in order): I'm Alan Partridge Blackadder the Third Blackadder Goes Fourth Fawlty Towers A Touch of Cloth Inbetweeners Him & Her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first episode wasn't funny, so repeating it over and over again won't be funny either. Not sure you can claim to have taste though if you're throwing Fawlty Towers and Him & Her into the mix.

AmericanRam Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 And also I suppose if we are going for animated series then I will really like American Dad along with Rick and Morty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I indicated that BBT and HIMYM were the worst I could think of but I wrong. Family Guy is a new level of sh*te, and American Dad is only marginally better. I don't think I've seen a joke of any intelligence or thought in either.

Perky1106 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I love Big Bang Theory because no one in America has ever done a show about nerds before! But to be fair the US have got Family Guy and American Dad right. They are fantastic. My favourites are the British classics. Fawlty Towers, OFAH, The Office, Extras and The Vicar of Dibley. Inbetweeners and Peep Show are fantastic examples of modern ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanRam Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 I think a lot of the time it just simply depends on what is considered humorous in the US vs. what is considered humorous in the UK. I for one really like Only Fools and Horses and Bean movies.However,when I watched them with my friends they did not laugh at all. P.S. I have always liked Family Guy and American Dad but do admit they have been pretty bad the last couple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you can claim to have taste though if you're throwing Fawlty Towers and Him & Her into the mix. I know, it's just AWFUL. Him & Her is multi-layered and somehow pulls off the sweetness of Gavin and Stacey without being so sickly, and as repulsive as something like Bottom. Not to everyone's taste though, I've barely recommended it to anyone. Fawlty Towers is a genre perfected. I don't find slapstick or farce particularly funny, but how can you not laugh when its executed that well? Forgot to mention the Office & Extras. I can't stand an Idiot Abroad, but love those two Gervais comedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Vicar of Dibley. I think that Red Dwarf ought to combine with this. Then we could have Vicar of Duane Dibley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
