I open this forum so that you can discuss your favorite sitcoms (situation comedy). Probably tell us what they're about, from where, what you think about them or why you like it.

In my case, I think one of the best sitcoms is 'Seinfeld' (USA). In short words, it is indeed a show about NOTHING just four single people (3men, 1 wonam) from New York, and how they deal with their everyday situations. The show was very succesful and it was over in 1997-98 after being on the air I guess since 1987.
After this I guess 'The Simpsons', and also 'Two and a half men', also from the US...

So, which ones are your favorites?

Whats a situation comedy?, in which way they differ from normal comedies?

Mine would deffiently be Scrubs, a nice story line with good actors and a nice mix between humour and seriousness . Spin city was also good, before Michael J. Fox was forced to quit that is.

@Fhuesc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitcom - I know that you shoudn't trust wikipedia that much, but this should give you an idea what a sitcom is.

I'm a fan of Scrubs too, i also like Frasier, Fawlty Towers, Boston Legal (but thats more of a drama, i just think it's funny myself) and a few others that i can't think of right now.


I can hear Stupidity

I'm a sitcom addict..yesyes XD

I will ALWAYS love Seinfeld - they're just brilliant because they can make a funny episode..as you said,out of nothing.I mean one of their funniest episodes was them waiting for a table at a chinese restaurant,doing nothing.Just funny,intelligent dialogue.
I also like Will & Grace ,because of Jack & Karen..they are simply forever XD

Well,there's a lot of stuff i love..like Fawlty Towers,Father Ted,actually i love a whole lot of british stuff..umm.."Absolutely fabulous" is another good one.Actually just give me anything with Jennifer Saunders,Dawn French or John Cleese and i'll watch it.

But the ultimate thing ever is "Only fools and horses" , i don't actually think Delboy,Rodney,Trigger,Boycie and the others can be topped...ever.There's nothing better than that.

Torelli mentioned Scrubs..that's another good example of a really cool american sitcom,but when we're speaking of sitcoms made in the usa lately..i can't think of that much that really hold my attention.I guess it's cause they overproduce and we're all fed up..could be that.i don't know.But i do know that when it comes to usa,lately i'm more into the shows that couldn't be considered sitcoms..like Desperate housewives and Gray's anatomy

1. Seinfeld
2. Arrested Development
3. Curb Your Enthusiasm

Other sitcoms that I think were largely really good are Cheers (legend!!), Frasier, Becker, 3rd Rock From The Sun, The Office (UK version is better but the US version aint bad either), The Young Ones, Fawlty Towers, Black Books, Lucky Louie.

Oh yes.You reminded me of Fraiser and Becker and 3rd rock from the sun....haven't watched those for a while.
But they are brilliant.Especially Fraser.

Huh and here I thought i was the only Frasier fan.

I know it's not really a comedy but i truly liked Monkey (I've never been able to summon that flying cloud so far).

I also didn't mind that 70's show, Bottom, My Family, Mash (though i think thats more of a drama), and you can't go past The Goodies either, who can?

I never really got into Curb Your Enthusiasm, just isn't funny to me.



If you don't like it, talk to Dr. Fist

I've never watched a whole episode of frasier, I've just seen parts of it, but it still looks good. same thing with scrubs, my brother watches it, so I've catched an espiode or two, and it is really funny, at least some parts

My absolute favourite is "Absolutely Fabulous"....these two ladies are awesome...I've always admired the acting skills of Jennifer Saunders....she makes a wondrous performance...and Joanna Lumley is just as good.....

Gosh, I'm addicted to all kinds of sitcoms! When I was a kid I never missed a single show of Full House and Fresh Prince from Bell Air. My fave... definately ''That 70s Show''! It's just funky and the characters are so great toegther because they represent the mass of completely different caracters being put together in all kinds of situations. I also very much enjoy Fraiser and yes, I love Seinfeld too, I was all over 3rd Rock From The Sun and Boy Meets World (omg I had a huuuuuuuge crush on Rider Strong who played Shawned when I was in 6th grade, once I pretended I was ill because at that time I had to do a perfromance and sing on some shcool celebration ), Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends and OMFG I can't remember more... Yes, the mentioned ''Absolutely Fabuolous'' are hilarious too. Currently I'm hooked with the ''girly'' What I Like About You. Oh and Scrubs. And of course Blackadder and Mr. Bean.

The two sitcoms I have always disliked are Roseanne and Cheers.

Yeah this is kind of offtopic but i just had to mention it...you had a crush on him too?
He was my whole world when i was like..13 or something.It was unbelievable how much i liked that guy.Ah...fun times..so funny when i think about it now.It was a huge crush,huuuuuuuuuuge.

My fav sitcoms:

1- Fawlty Towers

3- Black Adder
4- Seinfeld
5- 3rd Rock from the Sun
6- Goodness Gracious me

3.Bundy

British Sitcoms are the best , "Only fools and horses" is the best sitcom ever , "Alo' Alo'" is also very good , almost forgot "Black Adder" , I really like the Croatian sitcom "Bitange i Princeze".

2.Kongen av queens(i don't remember the american name for the show Maybe Queens?)

I think that it is "King of Queens" here. An annoying fat guy with an unbelievably hot wife?

Only Fools & Horses is the best! Blackadder is great too. Well, Seinfeld is a given. It basically sums up sitcom with "What's the deal with ______" situational jokes. Curb Your Enthusiasm follows the same high standard. Fresh Prince has been a guilty pleasure of mine for ages.

So I'm watching Scrubs and I'm thinking who's the funny guy?

Seinfeld. Nothing gets funnier than that show. also the story and the characters are very well written. i can watch this 24/7 tbh.

I don't have a TV (well I do, but I don't have any cable or satellite so I only play games on it) outside of work, but when I did I enjoyed Seinfeld and Frasier the most, and I occasionally watch those shows at work too. The only current TV show I really watch is The Office (in my office) and House every once in a while.

Fuck reality TV.

My absolute favourite sitcom is Seinfeld!
My fav episode is the one where they go to the theater and Elaine sees the PEZ dispencer and bursts out in laughter! Classic!

Other good sitcoms:

Everybody loves Raymond
Curb your Enthusiasm
The King of Queens
Married with Children

British sitcoms were indeed the best. Father Ted, Black Adder, Black Books, 'Allo 'Allo etc always gave me a good laugh. And as already mentioned, Seinfeld was just gold.

Married With Children though was my favourite sitcom. Al Bundy is definitely the greatest character created. And Kingswood Country was another of my favourites. It was an Australian sitcom from the early 80s, notable for the bigotry and its now political incorrectness (of course, it wasn't seen that way back when it aired). Such a great show though.

Well Scrubs is pretty funny, teh whole hospital thing is hilarious.
Two and a half men kicks ass too. That kid makes the best comments.

Seinfeld, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and the Simpsons are my favourites, great humor and some of the best lines ever in Seinfeld and Simpsons.. eg. "D'oh!" or "these pretzels.....ARE MAKING ME THIRSTYYYY!!" or when george and elaine both have abstinence and george becomes super-smart and elaine super-dumb...

edit: NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, The Smoking Room.

I love the realist style on the Office (strictly UK only, US one is way too "zany") and espeically Peep Show too.

The Young ones is always fun too, and must have been such a breath of fresh air when it was released.

I'll have to go with Little Britain. I just can't get enough!

Shows like Friends, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond and others similar are funny too I got addicted on Friends cuz a friend of my bro had all 10 seasons. I could NOT stop watching them all in a row lol :x

well everybody have diferent taste mate, i still think they r stupid nothing is funny, and all those jokes in all those sitcoms u named r too childish, yeah same i s with brits, but they r done on some better way the way that more fits to me,

Does anyone know the name of that TV show about a Family living in a house which is half on territory of Ireland, and other half on North Ireland's?? That was hilarious too, I just cant remember its name...

I love sitcoms, I really do. The best one will always be "Friends", I think without any of the 6 amazing main actors it wouldn't be nearly as great. Thereafter we have "Scrubs"... it's just hillarious and has a great variety of personalities. I also love "Seinfeld", "Spin City" and can enjoy a lot of other stuff.
