Eh, mine are all obvious and I think already stated but whatever. I'll add my own endorsements.

Arrested Development. Yeah, I concur with the mass of people before me. It is glorious. I watched it again for the billionth time and I still catch new things.

The Office. It's starting to slow down now, but the earlier seasons (2 in particular) were extremely funny.

30 Rock. I hated it at first, but only because I refused to watch it on principle (can't remember what principle, but there was one; I think I hated the hype??). Finally broke down and watched it, and it's hilarious.

But you're already watching Modern Family, and I consider it one of the funniest shows ever... a lot of this stuff is underwhelming after that or Arrested Development. <3

Fist bump to that. Mayall & Edmondson are 2 of my many many childhood heroes

Whilst we got some classics, was Blackadder already mentioned?
I kinda learned english with that show, flying circus and

30 Rock, The Daily Show, Scrubs and Futurama just to name a few that I feel you missed.

I'm not a big fan of IT-Crowd to be honest, but that can be a cultural thing - I'm not from a Commonwealth nation (thought my Dad is Canadian, and I grew up watching Monty Python and shows like Faulty Towers).

The Office! It's all I ever watch anymore.

Spaced.

Red Dwarf if you don't mind older British stuff, but Spaced is a requirement. Peep Show is also awesome and still going I think, not sure when the next series is though.

Today! check 4oD!

To the OP
Peep show and Father Ted definitely

Good choice! Itd be interesting to see what someone who's never seen Father ted before thinks of it. Its loved in ireland, i dont think ive ever met someone who HASN'T watched it...

Um, Comedies? I really love The Three Stooges. So I don't get much out of modern comedy shows. I watch stuff like Sanford and Son and Everybody Loves Raymond. Sometimes I watch Scrubs, but I hate J.D. and Carla, the secondary cast is better like the Janitor, Kelso, Ted and The Todd. I have a soft spot for Bob Newhart, particularly the show he did in the 70s.

Speaking of the Janitor. Neil Flynn has a new show on ABC called The Middle, it's not too bad. Psych is a pretty good show. Although it's more a detective show, it's has a lot of comedic elements. James Roday and Dule Hill play off each other really well. Think Monk, with more humor and less OCD.

You... you hate J.D.? But... he's awesome!

But yes, definatly Scrubs. It's my absolute favourite TV show, it's hilarious and has ton of emotional moments and a moral to a lot of the stories.

 

[The Night Shade]

Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half man
