What are your favourite comedy TV series?

We all need a good laugh sometimes.

To me, Seinfeld is forever number 1. I never get tired of it. That show is a classic, and its situational humour is great and spot on. Plus, I love how it's 100% comedy and there are no sad moments or emotional episodes. Not even when someone dies. And ofc, Kramer and George are two legendary characters.

I'm a big fan of British comedies such as Black Adder, Fawlty Towers and also Black Books to some degree. Black Ader especially for its 3rd and 4th seasons. Fawlty towers is great. It's only 12 episodes long but they're all worth a bunch of laughs. Full of John Cleese greatness.

Then there's comedies such as Scrubs and 3rd Rock from the Sun that I liked a lot back in the day but I haven't seen them in years, so I dunno if I'd still lie them as much these days.

As far as animation goes, well classic Simpsons were great, obviously. that's needless to say.

So what about you?

I guess he doesn't qualify as African American to cubed because he doesn't say things like "yessa massa", "sup dawg", "yo", "kill whitey" and "shee-it negro!"

Shredder could've done more than blow up the Channel Six building. I don't mean as far as murdering Splinter, but think of the possibilities if censors were not an issue.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

Third Rock was great, and I used to love Night Court back in the day, too. Big Bang Theory is a favorite, and Modern Family is always fun too. Seinfeld and Friends were kind of hit or miss for me, but still good overall. And I loved Will and Grace. Frasier, too. Loved it!

I'm very picky about comedy but do enjoy these.

The Goldbergs
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Fresh off the Boat
Vicar of Dibley

Not sure if King of the Hill counts but if so that also makes my list, ^^

Cromartie was indeed funny.

Tbh, I dunno if Scrubs fully counts as a comedy. it also has drama/serious moments.

Ofc Futurama has good stuff as well.

Malcolm in the Middle and Fresh Prince are nostalgic.

Man, a lot of those comedies starred actors that went on to do big things, didn't they? In Seinfeld's case, a lot of its guest actors became pretty big later on. The dentist Tim Whitley became Malcolm's father in Malcolm in the Middle and later became the leading star of Breaking Bad . Terry Hatcher and others were also in a Seinfeld episode or two. Funny enough, of the main cast, none of the Seinfeld actors had super successful careers after the series was done. Julia Louis-Dreyfus has achieved the most success, starring even in her own series, Adventures of Christine. Jason Alexander and Michael Richards career were never the same since then. I guess it's hard to see them as something other than George and Kramer, respectively. As for Jerry... well he's not really na actor, so he doesn't need to star in movies or tv shows to make money.
