The best comedy series?

Henke · 07-03-2007, 01:34 PM

I think it's Coupling. I just bought the whole series on DVD and it's really good.

I've got three choices that I can't pick between: The Simpsons (earlier seasons), Seinfeld, and Married...with Children.

Even better than Friends...

Red Dwarf! Especially series 3 through 6-ish. An unbeatable combination of intelligent science fiction and split-yer-sides laughter.

Hammerite · 07-04-2007, 01:52 AM

Seconded.

Third Rock From the Sun

Is Seinfeld any good, by the way?
I've only seen the one with the masturbation challenge.

This show is shown on daily basis here over and over. I find it hilarious. But my favourite comedy series is Will & Grace, mostly for the Karen Walker and Jack McFarland characters.

I really really don't like Seinfeld! I found the humor to be pretty bland, boring, not funny etc.

Oh, I also disliked all the characters...

Trader · 07-04-2007, 03:28 AM

Boston Legal, Arrested Developement, Family Plots not sure if this is classified as a comedy but damn it makes me laugh.

Catbert · 07-04-2007, 09:05 AM

Seinfeld is fun, in the sense that it dwelves a bit more into the psychology and insanity of a loser in the form of George Costanza and the wackiness of Kramer, or the superficiality of Elaine. Jerry is kind of pretty generic, but the show as a whole is pretty fun.

bulldog · 07-04-2007, 09:43 AM

I like Boston Legal

Catbert · 07-04-2007, 10:16 AM

Hardly a comedy but Shatner steals the show when they decide to alleviate some tension with his antics. I like comedy that's violent on you, makes you think, while at the same time is just stupid and nonsensical, a bit like Family Guy or Bill Hicks' comedy routines. I like League of Gentlemen because it fetches a lot of references to horror movies and builds a grotesque comedy on that. Watch it, it's pure gold, I placed a link above to one of the best (IMO) moments the show had to offer. I still cry laughing everytime

Usually I'm not really all THAT much into all these tightly rehearsed little supposed_to_make_you_laughs, however, "Married With Children", MAN!

Once A Villain · 07-04-2007, 10:21 AM

I have a soft spot for Frasier. Love that show.
