Re: So, what\'s the best TV comedy show, ever?

[ QUOTE ] Seinfeld [/ QUOTE ] I'd be surprised and ashamed if that was in the top 100 for British people. Blackadder and Red Drawf for me, probably South Park is funniest NA comedy. Mack [/ QUOTE ] I've never seen a single episode of Seinfeld. He comes on, he looks just like Tony Blair to me, so I turn off the TV. I know it sounds dopey, but it's true. This thread has persuaded me to give it a go again, though. I do think I may be missing out there. Will and Grace is the weird one. I don't like it, but I find myself watching it cos I think the squeaky-voiced one is hot as hot can be. How FU am I, huh?

Re: So, what\'s the best TV comedy show, ever?
Forgot about South Park.
There was a old comedy that was pretty good that I dont remember the name of but was him from the Naked Gun films probably in the same role as he was a detective and was the same sort of humour.

While 'Seinfeld' is the answer, 'I Love Lucy' is the template upon which all U.S. sitcoms are based. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. On a side note, I think I love lucy was the first to introduce the 4 camera style that pretty much every sitcom has always used (until recently with AD I think).

Oh, the UK contingent are here. Hi guys!
What you guys say about Porridge? Steptoe and son? I think SaS is, despite being popular and long-running, an underappreciated masterpiece of writing and playing myself, but what do I know.

Also the first to tape in front of a live audience. Arnaz had to design and build a studio to make this possible.

I love Red Dwarf, Black Adder, Python, Towers and everything, but I suspect the best show ever was Spitting Image at it's peak. Lori [/ QUOTE ] That's a good point. A lot of it's great sketches I remember to this day - and I might have seen them only once [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I remember one with Thatcher and the cabinet at a table, and a waitress comes in... waitress: And what would you like for lunch Thatcher: Raw steak please waitress: And the vegetables? Thatcher: They'll have the same! hehehe
