Title: List your favorite sitcoms!
Post by: Sirgin on August 28, 2008, 08:54:45 AM
Do you regulary watch TV? If so, then chances are you watch a sitcom every now and then.

List your favorites here and tell us why you like them. Listing those you hate is also possible  :D

Reminder: Shows like Lost, Prison Break or Heroes are not sitcoms ;)
If you're unsure whether the show you're thinking of is a sitcom, look here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sitcoms).


My favorites: (I ordered them, but the order isn't that important)

1. The Simpsons
2. Friends
3. Married with Children
4. Fawlty Towers
5. The Fresh Prince of Bel-air
6. Grounded for Life
7. My Wife and Kids
8. Blackadder
9. According to Jim
10. 3rd Rock from the Sun

There's more, but 10 will do for now :)

Mainly Brit comedy, it's much closer to my own sense of humour:

Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Green Wing, The Young Ones, The IT Crowd, Spaced, Vicar of Dibley, My Family... and so on.

I don't mind some US sitcoms too though honestly I find most of them really annoying.  But I like The Simpsons/Futurama and I've happily watched many an episode of Friends, Will & Grace, Ellen etc.

I also LOVE Arrested Development. Can't wait for the movie.

Now my dad loves british comedy, that's all he watches. I watch some with him from time to time.
His all time favorite show is Last of the Summer Wine, he watches at least two episodes a night.
Thanks to the power of the internet and sites like thebox(.)bz I was able to get the first 13 seasons on dvd for his birthday and I will give him seasons 14-28 for Christmas.

These are my favorite sitcoms to watch with my dad.
-Last of the Summer Wine

That's great when you're able to give someone a gift you know they'll really like :)

He really enjoys them. He was recording them on VHS tapes and he would watch them again and again. I was going to buy him a dvd player that plays PAL dvd's and buy him a few seasons at a time, but they only released a few episodes on dvd. I had to find another way to get them all. :pirate:

We shouldn't even need a thread for this - the only one that should be mentioned is The Office.

Great lists.

That's a bit over the top. Even though The Office is great there's lots of quality sitcoms out there ;)

Personally I can't stand The Office. Either version. No one particular reason, it just doesn't push my buttons...

^It takes a few episodes to grow on you due to the mockumentary style of camera work. But once you get into it, it's hilarious!

My list (in no particular order):

1. The Office
2. 30 Rock
3. WKRP in Cincinnati
4. Cheers
5. News Radio
6. MASH
7. I Love Lucy
8. That 70's Show (the early seasons were hilarious!)
9. 3rd Rock from the Sun
10. Titus (short-lived, but very funny!)
11. Arrested Development
12. The Simpsons
13. Bosom Buddies (a bit over the top, but was good in its day. Launched Tom Hanks.)
14. The Mary Tyler Moore Show (gotta see these on TV Land or Nick at Nite)
15. Night Court
16. Friends
17. Seinfeld

For now.
