What is your favorite sitcom on television?

Probably Ally McBeal.
I like most of the stuff that comes over from America.

Friends

I would have to say Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens, and Friends.

Bottom

I don't have a single favourite. But my favourites are Father Ted, I'm Alan Partridge, The Royle Family, One Foot in the Grave, Blackadder, Spaced, The Young Ones, Men Behaving Badly, The League of Gentlemen, Fawlty Towers and Coupling. Oh yes.. and the Simpsons

Okay this is really embarrasing. But in qual I told the Survey Creator that I objected to providing a list of sitcoms - all of which were American. I said how can us non-Americans participate in this survey.

My answer is - Frasier.

*votes survey good - as it now is*

Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Bernie Mac, That 70's Show

I don't think the shows I watch qualify as sitcoms. I watch Buffy, Angel, Roswell, and The West Wing.
I guess "Popular" was a sitcom. That was probably my favorite sitcom ever. Other sitcoms I've watched at various times don't really rank.

I don't watch enough TV to have a favorite sit-com.

I don't watch television anymore, so I'm not up to date on the latest offerings. I will have to answer this from a historical perspective. I think that the best TV show EVER, sitcom or otherwise, was Fawlty Towers.

Have you seen this one?

I've found the powerage site before using google when I've been looking for Fast Show scripts (usually to settle an argument), but because it linked straight to the Fast Show page, I didn't realise it also had League of Gentlemen and others. I'll check it out properly when I have the time.

It took me a while to realise why you'd given me the second link, then I got to the bottom and saw a blast from the past. You certainly brought a smile to my face .

Everybody Loves Raymond!!!!!!!!!!

Right now it's The Job. Denis Leary is so funny!

Currently? None.

I watch X-Files
CSI
Buffy
Ally McBeal
The Practice

In reruns I watch Roseanne, Friends, Cheers, All in The Family, Family Ties, M*A*S*H
They sure don't make sitcoms like they used to

I enjoy British comedy alot. ABFAB, The Young Ones, Good Neighbors, Mr. Bean, Are You Being Served, To The Manor Born, Father Ted.....

I know it's a cartoon- but I think "The Simpsons" counts as a sitcom- it's damn funny!

It's a tie right now between The Drew Carey Show and The Job. Both of them make me laugh my ass off!

The British ones - Spaced, Black Books, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers and Father Ted.

Frasier, Just Shoot Me...

I loved Ellen too when it was on. However the series was 10 times better before she came out. I used to hurt laughing.

Malcolm in the Middle

The Golden Girls

Well since I no longer have cable I do not watch sitcoms any longer. I sometimes, however, watch on my neighbor's TV, and I especially like "That's My Bush," "AbFab," "Designing Women," "Golden Girls," "Some of my Best Friends...," "Friends," "Powers that Be," "Filthy Rich." (Some of these are long gone).

???

What's the story with that? (Lazy Jayne)
I asked you some questions about it way back when you posted it, but you didn't respond.

There's a real lot of good sitcoms. I have trouble choosing just one. Of the currently running sitcoms though I guess I'd select Frasier as my favorite.

1) Boston Public. I almost never miss an episode. Damn it, this week my tape ran out.

2) South Park, though I have to wait until Sunday night to watch it

**) #1 Six Feet Under but it got disquaificied because its not a sitcom.

The Job is a fairly new sitcom but I agree with you it's very funny. Did you see the one a couple weeks ago where Dennis Leary's character was meeting the mistress' parents. It was funny!

I think "thats my Bush" got cancled permanetly here in the US. It must be some sort of a conspiracy. I bet its that Axis Of Evil thats behind it.

Damn it, i forgot about Malcolm. I'd put him between #1 and #2 then. South Park still gets #3.

The one Wednesday night was even funnier than that one. His wife AND mistress at his partner's anniversary party and he's trying to keep them apart. I swear, he just keeps digging deeper and deeper into trouble. If he doesn't watch out, he's gonna dig his own grave one of these days!

Damn, I missed that one. What was I thinking?

I guess you'll just have to catch it in reruns.

Lazy Jayne was Andy's band. He wrote all the lyrics, most of the music and was the lead singer. But about half way through '99 he decided he wanted to concentrate on his career in the police force and moved down to Reading. The rest of the band were Andy's brother Jono on drums, Dave (who brought me into the band) on bass and me on guitar. We practiced in Andy and Jono's parents house, in a garage that had been converted into a studio. The house was in the middle of the country side so there was no danger of disturbing the neighbours. Before we split up, we'd done a few gigs and were starting to get confident. The tracks on mp3.com were recorded the day after we won a battle of the bands competition at Staffordshire University. We used the winnings to hire a professional studio and sound engineer for a day.

So now what are you doing? Still keeping a hand in somewhere I hope...

I think it got canceled permanently too. I used to howl with laughter. It was on such a short time.

Ally McBeal. They should have kept Gil Bellows on the show....her ex-boyfriend who she never got over.
It's actualy the BEST show on TV right now, in my opinion.

None. I don't like sitcoms.

I don't have one.

I positively HATE sitcoms

It's a tie between sindicated reruns of "The Nanny" and "Maybe it's Me". I also love "Ed". I almost died laughing when they showed a far-away shot of Phil trying to do a backflip.

OH MY GOD I LOVE MALCOLM! I can't believe I forgot about that show. I love how the boys are so utterly naughty. My favorite is Francis. I loved it when to get out of writing a term paper he made a little racing road for a spider or something.

No, Malcolm still comes on. It comes 7:30 PM central time on Sundays on Fox. I should know cause i watch it every week right before Six Feet Under, and right after the Simpsons which are right after King Of the Hill.

Thats last season. He's no longer in the 'Army'. Now he's working for some old ugly fat dog. I haven't seen the episdode when switchted though.

I liked the episode when they were playing hockey and Francis ridged the team.

lol

I'm not in a band anymore. I still play guitar every day, and I only ever play my own material (although I'm awful at writing lyrics). The closest I get to being on stage nowadays is karaoke night at the Bull's Head on a Wednesday.

On the plus side, I've just started seeing someone who's a dab hand at the piano, so maybe we'll be stoking each other's creative fires (so to speak).

Hmm...I like Friends, and Everyone Loves Raymond. Will & Grace is funny too.

I think bands are only really necessary if you enjoy the collaboration. Sometimes (often) the personalities are more trouble than they're worth. With the technology available today, it isn't very hard (or expensive) to do everything yourself. If you do decide to collaborate, you can go into it with a different attitude. You're doing it because you want to, because it is fun, not because you need these people to make music.

Fraiser
Friends
Malcom In the Middle
Will & Grace
Everybody Loves Raymond
Just Shoot Me
Drew Carey
The Parkers
One on One
Huggleys
Girlfriends

I don't watch TV.

I don't watch too much TV...My 18 year old life is WAAAY too busy for that!

Raymond, then Friends

Yes, I see what you mean. I often find that I have ideas that I have trouble fleshing out and welcome the input. But I can see myself making music on my own. I'm finding myself influenced by Badly Drawn Boy these days.

It took me a second there, I was like "Badly Drawn Boy, why does that sound familiar?" Then I remembered, he was on that U.N.C.K.L.E. release "Psyence Fiction". I'm not otherwise familiar with his work. Do you know that one?

I didn't, but had a look and the track on Psyence Fiction is "Nursery Rhyme" which is not bad. If you'll have heard anything else by him, it would probably be "Once Around The Block" which had a video where he was a taxi cab that took people around New York by giving them piggy back rides. I'd recommend his debut album "The Hour of the Bewilderbeast".

I don't watch television, so I don't see videos very often. I'll see if I can download some of that.

On The Buses. British classic. Or todays? One Foot In The Grave.

Sex and the City - only just started watching this
Ally McBeal - Robert Downey Jr!!! Peter McNichol is amazing!
Frasier - Niles!!
Malcom in the Middle
Popular - I loved that show!!

I loved Popular too! I was traumatised when they cancelled it!

Me too! I'd heard the WB was supposed to be doing a couple of Popular specials this season, but I haven't heard anything about any actually happening.

Really? That's cool. I think I should start a petition. There are much worse shows on TV that Popular. I thought it was raeally clever. Never mind.

There was a phone-in campaign last year to get UPN to pick it up, since they picked up Buffy and Roswell, too. But apparently it didn't work.

Malcom in the Middle! Or Red Dwarf! Or..Cheers! Or All in the Family.... I can't pick.
