    In light of the other thread - and I bet there will be alot of the same sitcoms mentioned in both threads...

    Mines Fr. Ted. Of course.

    Edit; Forgot original scrubs!

    None.
    Don't like sitcoms.


    Unless you consider Top Gear a sitcom!

    I'd say Dail debates but the cast rarely turns up and I'm mistaking comedy for farce!

    Hardly what about 'Eastbound and Down' '30 Rock' 'The Big Bag Theory' 'How I Met your Mother' 'Peep Show' there all top notch, don't get me wrong Inbetweeners is a savage show but you my sir are completely wrong.

    I accept apologies in money form by the way

    Also 'Seinfield' is the best sitcom followed closely by 'Arrested Development' "Eastbound and Down' get an honorable mention.I cant believe 'Police Squad' is not on more lists and what about 'Cherrs' and 'Wings' theres so many hard to chose.

    Tough question but I'd have to go for Arrested Development.

    "I'm afraid I just blue myself"
    "There's got to be a better way to say that"

    Honourable mentions: Friends (first 4 seasons), Black Books, Fawlty Towers, Flight of the Conchords, 30 Rock

    Though I didn't think this years Xmas special was great - except for the bit where Barbara continues to fill up Cheryls pint glass with Baileys:)
