I forgot The Thick of It! That show is hilarious, and very quick paced--I love Peter Capaldi in that one.

My favorite Brit comedies have been mentioned. Fawlty Towers and the Flying Circus. I don't know if Michael Palin's Ripping Yarns fits the category, but they were pretty funny.

Over here in America:

Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist: A little hard to watch in Squigglevision, but a jumping-off point for some people you will recognize.

The Bob Newhart Show: Simply classic. The episode where Jerry "retires" and is sitting in Bob's office whittling is the funniest thing that has ever been on television.

The Andy Griffith Show: Folksy family humor and good lessons for the kids. There won't be another one like Andy.
