I find both of them (american and british comedy) to have their good shows and bad shows. All the ones already mentioned, scrubs, curb your enthusiasm, arrested development etc. are the ones I think are the best of american comedy.

My favorite british show hasn't been mentioned as far as i saw, has no one else watched pheonix nights or is it just generally considered as absolute trash? Dont care either way, i find it hilarious

oh, and whoever mentioned aussie shows to be bad, you should see canadian tv. neighbours and home and away are oscar worthy compared to laguna beach.
