Best Comedy Series Ever? (hint) I blue myself (1 Viewer)

[UndeadSnoopy]

I searched and if I am missing a thread about the best comedy series ever, I will blue myself.

The original run of Arrested Development are the best three years of comedy on television ever.

Change my mind (shout out to my girl).

Then we are all in agreement.

An EE first.

I so rarely do comedy anymore (am a big fan of Michael schurr ‘s stuff), so I’ll have to defer to the part of me that was super into comedy, so:
Soap
Barney Miller
Taxi
Bob Newhart

 

[Optimus Prime]

Agree that arrested development is one of the best

First 7 years of the Simpsons goes toe to toe with any sitcom out there and has to be on TV comedy’s Mount Rushmore

First few seasons of the Cosby Show

Frasier and the Golden Girls

It’s been years since I’ve seen it but I imagine that Cheers still holds up well

Bob Newhart

It was all a dream.

Suzanne pleshette was in a lot of my dreams

Suzanne pleshette was in a lot of my dreams

Really?

Not knocking you, but I never had a thing for her.

Back to Arrested Development, Portia De Rossi did it for me.

But she plays for the pink team.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Being a Brit I have an Affinity for Red Dwarf and Black Adder, but as far as US stuff, Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia is my pick

I thought about Fleabag, but there is so much sadness in it.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is one of (I think the best) writers on television today.

I don't really do comedy series anymore either.

two problems. Every situation of the sit-com has been done.

laugh tracks - once you hear them you can't unhear them.

But Arrested Development was good. Frazier was really good. Coach and Cheers both really good. And I probably have seen every episode of the show about nothing.


These days I prefer dark humor. Like "Happy" or The Boys (sort of)

I think The Good Place is original as far as network TV goes.

Soap

I was young but I remember Billy Cystal and feeling like I was watching something I shouldn't.

My parents let me have a babysitter TV in my room.

No minds will be changed in this thread.
