tuq mentioned it, and it's not my personal favorite, but I think "All in the family" needs another nod.

I think a good measurement of these shows is whther they could hold their own in syndication ten years later. Seinfeld and the Simpson's are only rivaled by Saved by the Bell in the amount of airtime they get in syndication. Of course, so is everybody Loves Raymond, and that show is terrible.

I don't see Family Guy holding it's own 10 years from now like the Simpson's has done.

I figured Ali G Show would get a little more love. It's hilarious. I cant think of anything better than it.

family guy is great. did anyone notice how simpsons has started to try to do that thing family guy does where it says "like that time chris tried to join the circus (or whatever)"... and then has some cutaway. simpsons needs to go away now. so unfunny i had to turn it off half way through last time. but it was great like 8 years ago.

i want to put in my vote for "news radio".
phil hartman = comedy genius.

Get Smart

Sledgehammer

Extras

The Honeymooners


Of course, Fawlty Towers is the correct answer.

I Love Lucy for the win. Has anyone noticed that the older comedies (marx Brothers, Dick Van Dyke, et al.) were funnier when you were a kid? I think we get more cynical, jaded and picky as we get older.

Actually, The Simpsons did it first and then dropped it. The producers actually mention it on one of the commentaries, saying something to the effect of: "Yeah, once family guy started doing it, we knew we should stop". They're jealous of FG's success, if you ask me.

No love for Bundy, Al Bundy?
Though imo the simpsons are on top. Benny Hill might have been the funniest person ever.

And yes, Married with Children is the funniest show ever on TV. I watch it almost daily still.
