I just felt a need to see what others thought were the best in this area.
I must admit my two favourites are british.
1. Fawlty Towers
2. Yes, Minister

My fave US is (boring i know) Friends

Do you have any particular faves through the years?

I loved Blackadder. It just cracked me up. Some seasons were better than others for sure.

There is one more i should mention. Macken. A short, 6 episodes long, tvserie from Sweden that was absolutely hilarious. Means Gasstation in english. Takes place totally in a gasstation. Made 1986 and became the most watched Tv-series in Swedens history. People still know the songs, sketches and situations from it. But you will of course never have heard of it. I can only pity you. The last episode sat half of Swedens population in front of their tv-set.

Oh yeah, Month Python, Blackadder, Faulty Towers--stuff like that kills me.

Speaking of Cheers spinoffs, anybody remember the 1st? Wasn't Frasier, but The Tortellis. Dan Hadeya played Carla's ex-husband Nick Tortelli, had a air-headed blonde bimbo wife? Ran a TV repair service? No? Probably cause it only ran thirteen episodes. Dr. Frasier Crane ran for eleven seasons.

Anybody remember a young Leah Remini as Carla's teenage daughter in many a Cheers episode? I do.

I've been liking that new show on Comedy Central Another Period. Crazy show.

That bimbo was none other than the late Casey Kasem's wife Jean. The one that's caused so much turmoil within that family's lives.

Was Matt LeBlanc on this show, too (before he hit it big on Friends)? Did he play a son or something?

Whoa, she was THAT Mrs. Kasem? Id'a never guessed.

Quite possible. Remember Harry Anderson of Night Court always showin up as that magician/conman?
