    How can Seinfeld not make your list? That show is sooooo funny.

    House?

    Don't get me wrong, I love House. Hugh Laurie is a very funny actor. But House for the most part is not a comedy show.

    The young ones I think that came on here in the states a while back.Did it have some actor by the last name Idol who acted like a punk rocker?If it is the same show I really enjoyed watching it when it was on t.v.

    2. M*A*S*H
    3. Laugh-In
    4. All In the Family
    5. Cosby Show (Huxtables)

    M*A*S*H,an amazing show,which I believe,was supposed to be set in South Korea,but as the show progressed,turned out to be more like a Vietnam medical unit?

    Did you know that Alan Alda insisted that the "canned-laughter" was turned-off for a UK audience? Hooray,the BBC agreed with him. ;)

    Umm I can see Survivor being considered a comedy since it is so inane, but ER? Or real -life surgeries?

    Anyone ever heard of the Red Green Show? Some of you in Canada should.
  • Jun 24, 2006, 02:47 PM

    Actually I think probably everyone in Canada has heard of Red Green! It's been pretty popular, at least in the past. It's on every afternoon in re-runs on CBC. Personally though I've never cared for it, haha.

    Great post... this is a fun thing to do!

    In no particular order...

    1. The Carol Burnett Show
    2. The Red Skelton Show
    3. Malcolm in the Middle
    4. Fawlty Towers
    5. Keeping Up Appearances
    6. Newhart
    7. Will and Grace
    8. The **** Van Dyke Show
    9. The Mary Tyler Moore Show
    10. Laugh-in
    11. Northern Exposure

    Does anyone remember the final scene of the series finale of Newhart? After the final commercial break, the scene opens on Bob Newhart and Suzanne Pleshette in bed, on the set of the earlier Bob Newhart Show. Newhart is sitting up on bed looking confused. Suzanne Pleshette asks with wifely concern, "What is it, Bob?" Newhart replies, "I dreamed we moved to Vermont and bought a bed and breakfast". Roll credits. It's classic Bob Newhart: Unexpected, razor sharp, and wry.
