Green Acres.

I love British sitcoms, and Ab Fab is awesomely funny!

Seinfeld, Cheers, Carol Burnett & Co., All in the Family.

Arrested Development
Get a Life

Big bang theory best sitcom

Invader Zim

The 3 Stooges.

There were many very good comedies over the years, to try to list the best is really just a matter of taste.

From the sixties: Gillian's Island; Green Acres; Beverly Hillbillies; Dick van Dyke Show; Laugh In; just to name a few.

From the seventies: Carol Burnett Show; Mork & Mindy; Laverne & Shirley; The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo; Carter Country; Welcome Back Kotter; The Jeffersons; Sandford and Son; Chico and the Man (short series); All in the Family; Mash; One Day at a Time; the list continues on, and on, and on.....

From the eighties: I really don't remember many, Facts of Life, Square Pegs; Taxi; Cheers; Fraiser; Busom Buddies; just to name a few.

After that, I basically turned off the TV for local channels and went to sattelite, ignoring most. The more I watched, the more stupid the shows became. I kept turning up the brightness control but the shows kept getting even more stupid, until I just shut it off.

The IT crowd is funny as hell!

There's been many but Arrested Development is our most recent favorite.

Son of the Beach.

EArlier seasons of Two and a Half Men, the Charlie years.

Red Dwarf
Only fools and horses
Curb your enthusiasm
The office (UK)
Bottom
Young ones
Blackadder
Spaced
peepshow

Father Ted

without a doubt the most dense writing and definitely a series with value to rewatch multiple times.

Arrested jokes never get old

Seinfeld was the best half hour comedy sitcom hands down, nothing will ever beat it.

Eastbound And Down

I'm Kenny Powers and your Fucking out!!!

Married With Children, All In The Family, Everybody Loves Raymond, Malcolm In The Middle, The Golden Girls, Second City TV, WKRP In Cincinnati.....Geez, now you have me shedding a tear for days long ago, long gone away....

I know it comes down to taste but I have to agree here. Seinfeld maintained such a high degree of quality for so long it will be almost impossible to top.

A couple not mentioned yet:

The Larry Sanders Show (for a comedy it pulled off a mildly serious angle pretty well. This is where most otherwise extremely good comedies eventually run out of steam and fail; Mash and Friends for example)

Get Smart (if you like Mel Brooks humor. I loved the show as a kid. It would be hard to watch now)
