Re: Top Ten or so TV Comedies Cannoli Send a noteboard - 12/01/2024 04:22:57 AM

I don't actually like TV comedies, I am realizing as I attempt to compile my own list.

Rick & Morty
Yes, Minister
Community
Parks & Recreation
Cosby Show
Scrubs
Happy Endings
I Love Lucy
The Honeymooners
Raising Hope

Honorable Mention:
Married with Children
Manhattan Love Story

I saw Friends in the day, but I had a love-hate relationship with it at best, and now it leaves me cold. Same with The Office. When I was a kid, my grandmother loved MASH, but it always rubbed me wrong, and watching it as an adult didn't change my opinions. I could never get into all sorts of other comedies that were huge at the time, like Fraiser, Cheers, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond (many of which my father has discovered in hindsight, and when I join him to watch a ballgame, he is often finishing up an episode or two of one of these, and I just can't get into them).

You and I have very many in common. - 12/01/2024 02:27:47 AM 247 Views

If we're including panel shows, my answers are easier! - 11/01/2024 11:40:48 PM 277 Views
Yeah, the Brits are great at absurd panel shows... but that one is the best of all. - 12/01/2024 08:52:55 AM 239 Views
