I can't believe there hasn't already been a tournament for this.

Re: Best sitcom ever?
 

I am going to be the first to say that I thought Seinfeld was the funniest show ever, but then along came Arrested Development.

Who won that poll? I never saw the end.

Re: Best sitcom ever?
 

You've only left out probably a hundred or so possible competitors. Flawed poll I won't play.

Many

Re: Best sitcom ever?
 

Seinfeld, no contest.

Re: Best sitcom ever?
 

I didn't realize The Three Stooges was a sitcom. Silly me.

And "The Facts of Life"? Jeezus. Why not just go and throw "Full House" in there and be done with it?

If this is a jopke, well done.

im sorry but the most ingenious sitcoms i think have been: arrested development, family guy, and now its always sunny in philadelphia.

everything else is just not funny.

for some reason i could never get into seinfeld, but i think curb your enthusiasm is great. go figure.

Re: Best sitcom ever?
 

That show with Eugene Levy and the muppets was funny.

Re: Best sitcom ever?
 

you'd think there'd be more Simpsons votes...interesting

Re: Best sitcom ever?
 

Seinfeld hands down, man.

Nothing else compares. The show about nothing.

What is this "Always Sunny in Philadelphia"? What channel does it come on.

Re: Best sitcom ever?
 

i dont think simpsons qualifies as sitcom.

charles in charge should be on there.

Re: Best sitcom ever?
 

I like how so many people use the qualifier "the show about nothing" after making a point about Seinfeld, as though someone may have forgotten.

No, we know. It was about nothing.

Anyway, Seinfeld's up there, but nothing compares to arrested development.

Re: Best sitcom ever?
 

Best individual episode is Diffrent Strokes where Arnold gets molested.

Faulty Towers
MASH (before Trapper John left)

Are you my caucasian?

I love the show and it may go down as one of the best ever, but for this sort of contest I like to eliminate recent shows. You have to see how they stand up over time.
For me it's Seinfeld #1, Simpsons #2, and anything else a distant #3. For now.

Re: Where\'s Curb your Enthusiasm? (no text)
 

It's not a sitcom. End of subthread.

I'm pretty sure the very first two replies were intended as flames. Perhaps they were a bit too subtle?

IIRC Seinfeld won the last poll, which was much more comprehensive than this piece of garbage. Seriously, Three Stooges and Facts of Life, wtf [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Where\'s Curb your Enthusiasm? (no text)
 

How are Simpsons and Curb not sitcoms? Because they aren't filmed in front of an audience?

Re: Where\'s Curb your Enthusiasm? (no text)
 

I can understand that some might say animated shows aren't sitcoms (which is BS, but some might say that). Curb is without a doubt a sitcom though, and a great one. A few more seasons and it might be challenging Seinfeld for the overall best title.

Re: Where\'s Curb your Enthusiasm? (no text)
 

I never said Simpsons wasn't. Just Curb. I may be wrong on that, but to me, I don't think of it as fitting into the model of what a situational comedy is. The lack of live audience or laugh track is just a small part of that. I'm looking some stuff up to see if I can find any support, but I may just be wrong.

I know, it started off with such promise and then derailed into an actual thread. Sigh.
