Silicon Valley
The Good Place
Parks and Recreation tied with early Modern Family

 

[LilAlex]

MASH (OK, so I'm old)
Simpsons
Peep Show
Arrested Development
30 Rock

Most of our family's "literary allusions" are from the last four. I am not ashamed.

 

[Mary Queen of Scotch]

Top 2:

1. Arrested Development
2. Frasier - The double entendre and barbs are a riot, of course, but I’m personally a sucker for the physical comedy

Trailing behind: 30 Rock, Veep

 

[Peary]

The Office (the American version)

 

[tyty333]

The Carol Burnett Show
I Love Lucy

Somebody Feed Phil

 

[TooPatient]

Frasier (rewatching now, actually!)
Mary Tyler Moore Show
The Bob Newhart Show
I Love Lucy
Then a tie between The Nanny and Mad About You. Both have funny episodes and meh episodes. Both good enough we own them on DVD and watch again.

 

[Betty Baguettes]

Almost forgot...The King of Queens is hysterical IMHO. Arthur Spooner (Jerry Stiller) never fails to make me laugh!

The bawdy side of me also gets a good chuckle from:

Two and a Half Men
Family Guy
Will and Grace
Crank Yankers
Curb Your Enthusiasm (and of course Seinfeld)

 

[canuk-gal]

Bewitched

 

[missy]

Just reading others replies now and
Omg yes. King of Queens is right up there. Hysterical


Larry Sanders is a genius. But his character is annoying to me.
Love Will and Grace

I’m really surprised that Friends isn’t getting more love lol. I recently started rewatching it when they had that reunion show and I was gasping for breath I was laughing so hard sometimes.

I agree Friends was very funny. There are so many older funny shows it’s hard to choose. I mean imo nothing beats I Love Lucy or Seinfeld for funny

Modern Family
Parks and Recreation
Arrested Development
