Yeah, no offence to you Americans but I find most US comedy very poor. There are a few --- Frasier/Cheers, Sledge Hammer, Better off Ted, Police Squad, and going back further, Family Ties, Married with children, Soap etc, plus if you stretch it to cartoon/animation, then there's South Park, Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy (at least up to the last few seasons, where they not only stopped bothering, but made jokes about how they had stopped bothering) --- but mostly my favourites are British comedy shows, like The Young Ones/Filthy Rich and Catflap/Bottom, Red Dwarf, One foot in the grave, Only fools and horses, Black Adder, The New Statesman, Mongrels, Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin, and of course the classics like Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. We've even had one or two of our own, like Father Ted. But most American comedy just leaves me cold.
