This is REALLY dissapointing! I'm glad a couple folks mentioned Scrubs, which is brilliant, but NOBODY has brought up "Curb your Enthusiasm" or "NewsRadio"????????? And not that it has to be a top fiver but I'm also suprised some of these older folks harbor no love for the Keatons.
Watching these DVDs again, and man, it's hilarious. The first episode that sets up the show is kind of a clunker, but after that it's great.
First off, I finally have watched a couple of Scrubs episodes. That has to be some of the worst writing I have ever witnessed. And the cast is not good on top of that. I would like to start watching The Office. I watched the movie "Little Miss Sunshine", which was brilliant, and the dude from The Office was in it. He is a comic genius.
My top 5 of all time: 1) Seinfeld 2) The Honeymooners 3) The Cosbys 4) All In The Family 5) I love Lucy
Here's my take: 1. Scrubs (I'm now addicted) 2. Seinfeld 3. South Park 4. Home Improvement 5. SNL (Does that count?) or Malcolm in the Middle
1. The Andy Griffith Show 2. I Love Lucy 3. The Beverly Hillbillies 4. Green Acres 5. Gilligans Island
The Office is absolutely hysterical. I watched the UK version too, and the US version is much better. The story lines are taken almost verbatim, but the cast of the US version pulls it off better. I'm sure the Brits would beg to differ, but who cares. If you haven't seen it before, I suggest getting the DVDs of the first couple of seasons to catch up and see the characters develop.
My all-time favorite = The Wonder Years Rounding out the rest: 2) Seinfeld 3) Arrested Development 4) The Simpsons in its prime, 1990s 5) News Radio 6) Cheers One to watch for: "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" - on hiatus now, it is on the FX channel. Funny stuff.
Scrubs is my favorite. Only other shows I really watch are Nip/Tuck (even though it sucks now), The Simpsons, The Sopranos, and weeds.
I'm going to have to um, go ahead and disagree with you there, Shirley. In all seriousness, I couldn't disagree with an idea more than I disagree with the above paragraph.
