    Best Sitcom on the TV at the moment?

    1. Friends
    2. Scrubs
    3. Black Books
    4. Frasier
    5. Will And Grace (Don't know why I am putting this one in I don't think its extreamly good.)

    Not much in the line of Comedy Frasier has gone down hill as has Spin City. Friends is friends haven't see much of this series

    Scrubs rules. Dr Cox is probably the best thing about it but every character gets great lines. And the care-taker has a great line in humiliation.

    What about Malcolm in the Middle! Does that count as a sit-com? Great show. Scrubs is good, I watch Friends because I've watched it since the first series, so it's in my blood at this stage. And because I love Rachel. Never really liked or watched Frazier, Will & Grace, me @rse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,455 ✭✭✭weemcd


    any word on the new series of black books? ive watched repeats and remembered how class it was the girl isn't funny though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden


    Scrubs would be my favourite i'd have to say, i got into watching Will and Grace for a while though, thought it was quite good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Dustaz

    I cant believe Smuckers or 80p havent shown up yet!
    (omfg sein is teh win etc ;) )

    From that list Scrubs sicne frasier has gone downhill a bit and the acting in scrubs is great ... oh and the blondy doctor too :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,177 ✭✭✭oneweb


    Frasier is good but getting a bit less funny of late. Friends isn't too bad. Malcolm in the Middle is excellent :). Scrubs, however is even excellenter! :D The characters are fantastic and the scripts are superbly written! Always amuses :p

    It is what it's.

    Out of the list, I'd say Scrubs would be the best.

    The Fast Show used to be great though

    Brilliant! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    i chose Frasier because when i watched it on a regular basis (2 years ago?) i thought it was great. i have only ever seen about 2 minutes of Scrubs. i must sit down some night and watch it. Friends is crap with a few years. i have never heard of Black Books. as for Will and Grace, someone give me a shot gun and a plane ticket to where they film that show :mad:

    thinking about it my telly viewing consists of sport, films, music (on in the background mostly) and the odd documentary with a half hour of news in the evening


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 3,816 Mod ✭✭✭✭LFCFan


    Scrubs is excellent. The scenes between JD and the Janitor are hillarious. Dr. Cox is is a great character. They're all great characters.

    Scrubs is my fave, imo it's one of the best shows on tv at the moment.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,947 ✭✭✭BLITZ_Molloy


    Has to be Scrubs.

    I used hate Friends but it's been getting alot better this season. Quite watchable.

    Sorry I want to replace will and grace with Malcom in the Middle or else Frasier should go.

    I don't think much of Will And Grace and i was trying to think of current funny sit-coms which there aren't many of.

    Can beleive i forgor about Malcolm in The Middle. Revise Poll.

    Black Books was the only BritCom i could think off other then the worst My Family. Whats happened BBC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,780 ✭✭✭JohnK


    Scrubs for me. Its always a good laugh :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    scrubs is the only one for me, the double helping on sky1 thursday night is just the job


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,455 ✭✭✭weemcd


    i watched scrubs last night and the ditsy blond doctor said the funniest ****ing line i've ever heard in scrubs- when i was a child i got sunburn all over my face, so i peeled it off put into a pile and ate it!
    i was nearly on the floor laughing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 413 ✭✭karma kabbage


    had to be scrubs, as if there was ever any doubt

    friends and fraiser used to be good but have both gone to pot... esp friends which i now watch out of a misguided sense of loyalty.

    but i gotta say i'm a fan of will & grace, i can see why it may annoy, but i find it honestly funny! :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 679 ✭✭✭ciano


    Scrubs is defo the best one out there at the moment. It just gets better and better! :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,093 ✭✭✭woosaysdan


    scrubs is just pure class


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,924 ✭✭✭Cork


    Best Sitcom on the TV at the moment? Curb you enteusasam by a mile. Scrubs & Malcolm while good are formula.

    Hopefully it will retrn to TG4 soon.

    Out of the formula ones - Just Shoot me is under rated.

    I am not in The Frank And Walters.

    www.thefrankandwalters.com

    I have never met anybody in this band.

    But I am a big fan of this brillant band. Their website has not been updated in a while. If anyboby has any news of this band - let me know. I think that they will be bringing out a new cd this year.
    But - I have no news on them.

    It would be a great idea for a sitcom. 3 Cork people in a band. Ashley (the drummer) is on Red FM every Sunday night reviewing cds. He is on afer 9pm. www.redfm.ie

    Yeah I'd like to see the Heinken Adds developed into a sit com.

    Tran(s)formers

    However 3 Cork People is a bit much. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,396 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    Scrubs by a furlong.

    I agree that Just Shoot Me is under rated.
    Spin City was good for a whyle.
    Will n Grace is good craic too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    Scrubs r teh win. How much funnioer can this show get ?? I nearky keeled over when Elliot (Jubbly doctor to you titty watchers) went on about the problems she has. And that sunburn thing... Classic...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 253 ✭✭ratman


    scrubs is brilliant,as is malcom in the middle,will and grace deserve to be made sadam's bitchs. WHAT ABOUT THAT 70'S SHOW


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,641 ✭✭✭✭Elmo


    I thought of That 70 show and Third Rock but I think they have gone down hill resently however both are better then Will and Grace and Fraiser.


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 3,816 Mod ✭✭✭✭LFCFan


    Scrubs is over now till the Autumn. Last nights was very good. The Janitor cracks me up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭Space Coyote


    Scrubs is the best thing on telly since sliced toast. The chemistry between the characters is just brilliant. Me sad it's over for now :(

    wowsers, surprised by the landslide of votes scrubs has gotten.

    and yeah, its class :)

    JD's flashbacks of him being a dork in 'My Kingdom' was the funniest thing ive seen on TV in ages


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,942 ✭✭✭Mac daddy


    SCRUBS all the way,dr cox is the best character in it.
    Malcom in the middle
    Friends
    will and grace
    ALI G:ninja:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden


    or JD's fantasy of his past and present girlfriend's pure quality


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,451 ✭✭✭blastman


    Scrubs for me, but only because they're showing new episodes at the moment. Otherwise I'd probably go for Black Books or The Office (where was that in the list?).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 280 ✭✭s10


    srubs fraser not forgetting my family .
    but fraser wins for making me laugh continuesly though out one show


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,641 ✭✭✭✭Elmo


    The Office is not on at the moment and it is not coming back for a 3rd series and I don't think its very good, some good one liners that about all, I don't like seeing asshole bosses on the TV, I would think most people have enough of them in work.

    cant think of any that has been consistanly funny, scrubs is good but are they just gonna re-hash (heh heh, hash) the elliot/jd thing whenever they need a storyline?
    and ye homophobes! will n grace is class jack n karen r sooooo funny!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,263 ✭✭✭Caesar_Bojangle


    Bachelors walk was quite good tbh
    Phoenix nights
