    Oh, and the answer is also NOT Everybody Loves Raymond.

    Ok, I'm done. Promise :)


    I love Everybody loves Raymond :)

    Okay this side of the Atlantic it has to be Fr. Ted or Black Books. In the U.S. surely Curb your Enthusiasm.:laugh:
    Father Ted ROCKS! I never get tired of it :D
    Small... Far away... Classic.

    How could I have forgotten Seinfeld, utter comedy brilliance. Larry David again of course.

    Of course Black adder has to be up there too. Wow this could run and run.

    Must check out arrested development, getting a lot of votes.

    But Friends? really? I think not. Would you want any of those awful people as a friend?

    All of them.

    Friends was consistently funny. Arrested Development is pure greatness.

    I've never watched Arrested Development, but Friends never gets old for me. That's why it's my vote.

    Another vote for Big Bang Theory as the best current comedy, and Modern Family is freaking hilarious too. Not sure they're best ever though. That's a super-tough call.

    FAMILY GUY, everyone I know watches it on the regular. I also like fraiser, Seinfeld, friends, the office, Kath and Kim, arrested development, curb your enthusiasm, American dad, and i LOVE MATCH GAME

    One that never took off was freaks and geeks which is an awesome show.......

    I will always love Absolutely Fabulous, but its not that popular in the states

    The Office, hands down


    Like MASH, the first 3 years were great but downhill after that. The Office jumped the shark when Pam went into sales.

    Eh, I still love it. But actually, I'm starting to LOVE Parks & Rec even more. I hope it doesn't go the same way, but you can never be sure.

    Father Ted: It's not as if everyone's going to go off and join some mad religious cult just because we go off for a picnic for a couple of hours.
    Father Dougal: God, Ted, I heard about those cults. Everyone dressing in black and saying our Lord's gonna come back and judge us all!
    Father Ted: No... No, Dougal, that's us. That's Catholicism.
