When I first saw this topic title....I thought to myself there isn't many sitcoms I like but then I started to list them off and there are quite a few.

30 Rock
My Name is Earl
The Office....both UK and US versions....enjoyed UK's versions slightly more....I think because of the use of more sexual innuedos
Carpoolers
I tried to get into Cavemen but I haven't been able to record it on my dvr. so I've only seen one episode so far.
Samantha Who?
Notes from the Underbelly
Back to You
Til Death.....I hated the main star when he was on everyone loves raymond but he's hilarious on this show.
Aliens in America and I think that's it.

I never understood the appeal of Friends, Everyone loves Raymond and Seinfeld......I love Curb your enthusiasm but Seinfeld was boring to me

Undeclared, Freaks and Geeks and Arrested Development are time honored shows.....I want to get them on DVD

Here are the sitcoms I like:
1)The office is pretty sweet. I like the American one a bit more than the British one.
2) Scrubs (in it's early shows)
3) Arrested Development (I tried forcing some of my friends to watch it and they hated it, so I guess people have different opinions)
4) Freaks and Geeks (I go in phases with it, I was really into it my sophmore and junior year, but i'm a bit bored with it right now tbh because there is a limited number of shows to watch, but I still recognize it's comic genius and the really hot guy on it)

djchameleon - I keep forgetting that Carpoolers is on, I saw the first episode & it was mildly amusing. My main interest is that the writer is Bruce McCullough.

One show I totally forgot to mention that I watch is 'Always Sunny in Philadelphia'. I can kick myself for not mentioning it earlier.

British:
League of Gentlemen - great black comedy
Black Adder - genius!
Black Books - also genius! Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey are perfect
Only Fools and Horses
Father Ted
Fawlty Towers
Peep Show
The Office
Green Wing

American/Canadian:
Scrubs
My Name Is Earl
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - I have a soft spot for this
South Park
Trailer Park Boys

I especially like British comedy and I'm currently watching/planning on watching Porridge, Flight of the Conchords, Arrested Development, Big Train, Extras and Dad's Army.
