What do you think is the funniest tv series?

[aforgetit]

Married with Children. I'm re-watching all the seasons again.

[rexothek]

With the new ones it is the "Hello Ladies". Stephen Merchant was hilarious.

[jetcat13]

The IT Crowd
Corner Gas
NewsRadio

[agidor]

New show "Rake" is funny as is ATHF

[maxasspayne]

Malcolm in the Middle: first 3 seasons. Married with Children. The Simpsons prior to 2002'ish.

[phantom_4s]

There are many that have come and gone, but currently for me it's Big Bang Theory!

[implius]

For me, Friends will stay the best serie ever created

[megabyteme]

For me, Friends will stay the best serie ever created

Always nice to hear the :ghey: perspective. Well, except Idol's, of course.

[MaMeMaN]

Big Bang Theory! Must be my Fav

[amazxplorer]

My Name is Earl. Quirky and unusual.

[megabyteme]

My Name is Earl. Quirky and unusual.

Nice to meet you, Earl. Welcome to the forums.

[gnsmitty]

My choice for funniest (currently airing) TV show would have to be Modern Family. Of all time funniest, I would have to say Married With Children. What can I say, you have to respect a guy that scores 4 touchdowns in a single game :D

[Steve-O4263]

The Big Bang Theory

[Bazookum]

Trailer Park Boys

This is the funniest entertainment for a drunk and or stoned person. Just hearing the little opening tune puts me in a really good mood.

[apw100]

Peep Show

[shadiezz]

hi everybody ...My current favorite comedy series has to be 2 Broke Girls hands down every episode cracks me up ...My all time favorite show would have to be Early Mork and Mindy

[slocum]

i love Arrested Development. And i always liked that 70's show. Oh and OF COURSE South Park!

[pLugiN]

The Big Bang Theory

I've been watching this and i really like it :P

[aboo4u]

I vote for The Big Bang Theory

[LightningSS]

I vote for Seinfeld

[CliffT5]

Gee, there have been so many over the years, and I can't pick just one. But the current ones that actually make me laugh out loud in every episode are "The Big Bang Theory" and "Mom." Other good ones (for me) are "Hot in Cleveland," "The Middle" and the perennial "I Love Lucy." That show is still hilarious after 60 years! "All in the Family" is a good one, too. And does anybody remember "Cybill"?

[Gandalf133]

Mine is the It Crowd

[initial_wii]

Seinfeld is still the funniest.

[JJoss]

Definitely south park. All the seasons are great especially the last one.

[Piranot]

Definitely Archer.

[b33f]

Married With Children. Vulgar and very funny.

[nibs]

My vote is for the 70's show, and the office

[muhfuhkuh]

So many good ones. Garth Merenghi's Darkplace, Seinfeld, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the IT Crowd.

But the funniest of all time has got to be Arrested Development.

[cappie]

For animated i think: South Park
Non animated: Seinfeld

[chuckychucks]

Friends,Scrubs,Everybody Loves Raymond,King of Queens,Two and a half Men (With charlie sheen) and Big Bang Theory

[sg360]

I can't name just one....
Only fools and horses
Family guy
Friends
Fawlty towers
Scrubs
Malcolm in the middle
Inbetweeners (UK)
Red dwarf

never saw Seinfield...is it really worth watching now ?

[yopyop]

seinfeld is very good but quite old for sure
if you like friends you'll like seinfeld!!!!

[TheElite]

The Inbetweeners!

[seewhatyoumiss]

Californication!!"Californication" is an analogous series in an age of digital "junk". And David Duchovny seems to be made to accurately miemen this analog protagonist, which is necessary for the success of the series. My appreciation for this actor has risen exorbitantly through this series.

[bondmd]

Gotta be How i Met your Mother

[AuroraB]

The big bang Theory

[ronin69]

South Park & The League. If you haven't seen the 2nd, check it out.

[drsrin]

Roswell (1999) was very creative but in the day.

[abaccusnzb]

the bundys

[tecbox]

Seinfeld and Cheers

[SausageRoll]

Anyone checked out the new Vic & Bob comedy House Of Fools? It's showing on BBC2 UK at the moment. Completely deranged and takes a few episodes to get into it but worth checking out.

[jimjims]

south park by far
i cant wait for the new fools and horses this year

[goldievg]

Bionic Women - lindsay wagner at great role model for girls

[abigdork]

Friends

[Firefox112]

The Ricky Gervais show - too bad that they dont have more episodes coming

[shadiezz]

Hi all my favorite series are simpsons and south park they crack me up ..also any old SNL episodes

[LM1977]

The Office, after mike scott left, it went downhill

[Gribley]

I like the obvious ones like South park too but for a more (loosely speaking) grown-up show I`ll go with Psych.

But classic sitcom wise I`ll still stick with Red Dwarf being a watcher since it first got launched on BBC2 (I still have a VHS collection).... seen the American pilot on youtube but don`t be put off if you`ve not tried the real thing :)

[MonkeyBusiness]

Big Bang Theory

[toriless]

Colbert, Ferguson (I said "idiots" a lot during this show), Simpsons, BBT, Psych. Seinfeld is too old to remember but I still want to quote CYE a lot especially when something is "pretty pretty good" or I'm doing a "Larry David" for some reason which usually involves doing the right thing incorrectly. If you have seen it you'd know what I mean. No one ever gets his eyeball gag when he tries to detect lies unless they have seen it but most people are not cool enough to have seen it. I mean how does one describe "Better Call Saul" to the clueless. It's pretty hard to explain how it is both humorous and tragic in the exact same moment.

[IdolEyes787]

I mean how does one describe "Better Call Saul" to the clueless. The word "glacial" comes to mind.
I understand that it's a "thing" for the show to let scenes run on ad nauseum but I also understand why no one else is inclined to do it.

It's pretty hard to explain how it is both humorous and tragic in the exact same moment. Pain is the basic foundation stone of humour and I'm pretty sure that type of character was old even before Charlie Chaplin brought The Little Tramp to life.

Don't get me wrong I like the show but I'm of the opinion that it's not of yet the great thing most people seem to think it is.
That and as been stated elsewhere,unlike Breaking Bad,Better Call Saul is saddled with a certain predictability.

[megabyteme]

Better Call Saul is saddled with a certain predictability.

Maybe, or maybe we are watching the story of how his twin developed a law practice, then handed it over to him. Totally unpredictable if they did that.

[samirakhan]

George Lopez was a pretty good show till it was cancelled :(

[singularity]

South Park for potty humour.

[pnicho01]

Its Always Sunny, Jesus Goddamn Christ Mom!!

[kroogar]

The Office (us)

+1

Definitely

[shaina]

-Married With Children
-Unhappily Ever After
Similar shows but both funny!!!

[fuz9]

South Park for potty humour.

Boardwalk Empire and Fargo are comedies? :unsure:

OOOps my bad I forgot!!

But in my defense Fargo is dark comedy , I laugh it is so stupid sometimes!
Got too carried away on a few on the list , was just looking at some on my server

My mistake on Boardwalk and a few others


Boardwalk Empire and Fargo are comedies? :unsure:

Veep
The Exes
The Middle
The Barney Miller show
Shameless (its ok for a filler if I am bored)
Rules of Engagement (In my top 5)
WKRP In Cincinnati
SCTV (I am Canadian you know)

[rascarl]

Boardwalk Empire and Fargo are comedies? :unsure:

Well I thought the way they aged Jimmy's son about 14 years in only 7 years was hilariously bad. So maybe it was a comedy after all.

[shaina]

True the end was a little fucked up and made you think a little , HMMMMM!!

[IdolEyes787]

Kids in the Hall.
Fawlty Towers
Seinfeld

[shaina]

Kids in the Hall- great show.
Fawlty Towers - never watched going to check it out
Seinfeld - After the season ending show is in your mind (sucked shit) only a few episodes I would go back to watch

The one saving grace* of that list is that it doesn't also include Friends.


*Also a movie and a series.

[megabyteme]

I did not include KitH because I prefer WKUK.
Seinfeld was just below my Honorable Mention list, as were quite a few others.

[shaina]

I am finding it hard to get all the episodes of Barney Miller??
That show went 8 seasons

You could add
Taxi to the list was not mentioned at all??

[IdolEyes787]

I did not include KitH because I prefer WKUK.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Ka2nkIi2I

The ability to use humour to shine light on who we are is what separates Kids in the Hall from pap like Friends and Louis CK from Carrot Top.

[megabyteme]

"The ocean, Bob? You don't know anyone in the ocean..."

:lol:

Honorable Mention'd.

How about ....Sanford and Son

[Joomladev]

THE BENNY HILL SHOW is the funniest TV series for me.

[GarethSA]

2 Broke Girls with Sophie

[IdolEyes787]

2 Broke Girls with Sophie

Not to disagree with your total lack of taste but even if 2 Broke Girls was the only show on TV it still wouldn't be funniest show on TV.

[topgunsix]

Curb Your Enthusiasm - R rated Seinfeld.

[megabyteme]

Curb Your Enthusiasm - R rated Seinfeld.

I've only seen a couple episodes (maybe only clips) of the show, but that description makes sense. Might give it a shot in the near future.

[nidhish01]

I liked Southpark & Friends very much ...

[Gribley]

Blue Mountain State


I suspect it was just me and you that liked that show....

[stefan79]

seinfeld

[witchking42]

Frasier, only because Niles steals every show!

[onehalfau]

2 Broke Girls :D

[dgrad04]

defiantly big bang theory

[djloser]

Blunt Talk is pretty funny to me. Also the Brink with Jack Black

[Rat Faced]

Big Bang Theory has to be up there, but some oldies are just as good.

Red Dwarf (UK version, US version is crap)
Dads Army
Blackadder (except series 1, which is crap)

[Maan]

Everybody Still Loves Raymond is good but we still watch The 70s Show reruns all the time. :lol:

[calvin]

One-Punch Man : The story of Saitama, a hero who is hero just for fun & can defeat his enemies with a single punch.

[validyeoman]

Big Bang Theory and 2 Broke Girls for me. :D

Big Bang Theory and 2 Broke Girls for me. :D

You have just identified yourself as a person of taste. Not good taste, but something other...

[mjmacky]

2 Broke Girls Banging Big in One Cup Theory

[bhast2]

Big Bang Theory is by far the best

[IdolEyes787]

Big Bang Theory is by far the best

HaHaHaHa.

I added a laugh track so people will be duped into thinking that there was any conceivable merit to what you just said.

[nerw]

⁣⁣

[Aracknid]

My current favs are Big Bang Theory and Modern Family. Also like Black-ish and The Goldbergs.

[majornougat]

Arrested Development, Eastbound and Down, Modern Family.

Back in the day it was Married with Children for me.

[RedRansom]

Well, right off the top of my head, Peep Show. It was quite funny and very British.

[Solvia]

The funniest TV series for me "May I Come in Madam"

[Kingofyesyall]

Real Time with Bill Maher

[sylverstreek]

Samford and sons
Silver spoons
Sienfeld

[MargaretSmith72]

I love Jump street 1 and 2! Best comedy movie for me!

[jogalivi]

Two and a half men (only seasons with Charlie Sheen)
Modern Family (Phil is crazy :D)
Married with Children (old but gold :D)

[Arnoldmickey]

Kapil Sharma Show

[saftone]

New show 'The Great Indoors' has a lot of potential.

[Trythepie]

Never saw it in prime time but catching "Anger Management" in syndication. Funny!

[Arnoldmickey]

Looks like "Anger Management" is new to me. But interested to take a look there. hehe!

[hellmeat]

I still like the first two seasons of Community, and Rick and Morty

[IcedMojo]

The Ranch

[Metsy81]

+ 1 Rick and Morty

[L3tti]

how I met your mother

[lazyacer]

Mrs Browns Boys.. vulgar and funny as feck :)

[Trythepie]

I don't usually don't watch sit-coms but came across "The Mick" and find it funny.

[itsjohnthronton]

While coming to fun, I have been in love with FRIENDS for a long time now!

[kreeg]

for me it's the big bang theory (every geek would agree :lol:)

Defiantly Big Ban Theory. Even my wife likes it, obviously sees me and my friends in every episode.

[Mia]

Correct me if i'm wrong but i think that "Friends" was the funniest. :D

[validyeoman]

big bang theory and friends

[mariad]

Two and a Half Men was and is my favorite.

[conaviteah]

family guy
south park

[JonieDerby]

Keeping Up with the Kardashians and its spin offs are all funny. But the drama outweighs the little wit the show has.:lol:

[Zorbak]

Hands down Veep or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[hlazzo]

I always had a fondness for Married with Children. Still funny 30 years later.

[vaetrota]

Veep used to just be funny because of how absurd DC could be. Now I want to live in a world where Serena Myers is actually president.

[MoiToto]

californication

[MacGyverSG1]

I always had a fondness for Married with Children. Still funny 30 years later.

I second that.

My Name Is Earl, Raising Hope, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Beavis & Butthead, Two And A Half Men (seasons 1-8), Archer, Chappelle's Show, Family Guy, Futurama, King of the Hill, News Radio, Kids In the Hall, 30 Rock, Roseanne, All In the Family, 3rd Rock From the Sun, plus many more.

[Lexus]

Kids from 404, The Simpsons, Tim & Jerry :)

[adam1978]

Rick and Morty

[tecbox]

Seinfeld and Modern Family

[MacGyverSG1]

Looks like we are getting a bunch more Rick and Morty episodes. Who knows when they will actually air though.

Modern Family was funny until the kids got older. Season 5 is where I lost interest.

[xz38]

NewsRadio

[MacGyverSG1]

NewsRadio was funny until the tragic and untimely departure of Phil Hartman. Jon Lovitz is funny, but the show wasn't the same.

[exclusive_one]

Rick and Morty

[xfalcon]

Father ted (95-98) and Seinfeld (89 to 98), yes old series...:rolleyes:

[sherly]

Without any second thought, I will go for F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

[c645689]

south park.

[Jdm2005]

The one I can watch over and over again is only fools and horses, even when I know what’s happening I still find it funny.

[geebee]

I am generally not into comedies but I have enjoyed the first few episodes Zomboat, it is very different :)

[Cee9]

Episodes (with Matt LeBlanc)

[Tovi42]

Cheers

Noooorrm

[SydBarrett]

It's been so long since I saw Cheers, wow, hope Norm is still alive and chugging beers.

[VinsNed]

South Park it is.

[sherly]

I totally agree with you.

[RNO]

Seinfeld and Modern Family

Exactly !
Seinfeld is ... untouchable.
I loved Modern Family, so many ideas.

[oldschool25]

That 70's show.

[Zupper]

"Not Going Out" with Lee Mack and "Would I lie to You"
