i hate them all except Frasier. that was brilliant writing and casting. the bulk of American sitcoms appeal to joe-six-pack. if you're counting animation....south park!!

Yeah...I forgot about that one! I too laugh my head off, especially when they take the women out of the audience to do the sound effects! :wah:

Simpsons and Seinfeld top my list.

Buffalo Bill was a brillliant show starring Dabney Coleman as an absolute S.O.B. who hosted a local talk show in Buffalo, NY. It also featured a young and ravishing Geena Davis. Early '80s.

Garry Shandling's two shows were superb (It's Garry Shandling's Show ! & Larry Sanders).

I also love Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist, a Comedy Central show from the mid '90s.
