- StarsCarol BurnettVicki LawrenceThe Ernie Flatt DancersTelevision show featuring skits by Carol Burnett and her comedy troupe.Carol, Vicki, Tim, Lyle and Harvey were the best comedy troupe of all time for me. I remember being allowed to stay up late on Saturday just to watch. Talk about great childhood memories!
- CreatorLarry DavidJerry SeinfeldStarsJerry SeinfeldJulia Louis-DreyfusMichael RichardsThe continuing misadventures of neurotic New York City stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his equally neurotic New York City friends.Another great ensemble that people could relate to. The characters played well against each other. I still watch the show every time it is on tv and I own all the dvds!
- CreatorChuck LorreBill PradyStarsJohnny GaleckiJim ParsonsKaley CuocoA woman who moves into an apartment across the hall from two brilliant but socially awkward physicists shows them how little they know about life outside of the laboratory.
- CreatorJames L. BrooksMatt GroeningSam SimonStarsDan CastellanetaNancy CartwrightHarry ShearerThe satiric half-hour adventures of a working-class family in the misfit city of Springfield.I love the Simpsons. Especially Homer. What a funny character. However, you can see how much he loves his family. Definitely a good laugh but you have to be in the mood.
- CreatorMadeleine SmithbergLizz WinsteadStarsJon StewartTrevor NoahStephen ColbertA comedy news show featuring humorous takes on top stories.Jon Stewart is so funny and relevant. I remember seeing people like Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell on the show. Quality stuff and well deserving of the awards it receives.
- CreatorJames L. BrooksAllan BurnsStarsMary Tyler MooreEdward AsnerGavin MacLeodThe lives and trials of a young single woman and her friends, both at work and at home."You've got spunk! I hate spunk". Classic line which I remember how many years later? Again, a group of talented actors who made a strong team.
- CreatorLorne MichaelsStarsThe Saturday Night Live BandDon PardoDarrell HammondA famous guest host stars in parodies and sketches created by the cast of this witty show.There are some years where it isn't so good. But there are more years where it is good than not so good. Some great stars came from this show.
- CreatorSeth MacFarlaneDavid ZuckermanStarsAlex BorsteinSeth MacFarlaneSeth GreenIn a wacky Rhode Island town, a dysfunctional family strives to cope with everyday life as they are thrown from one crazy scenario to another.Seth MacFarlane is one funny guy. He is also one of the most talented voice actors I have heard since Mel Blanc. I really like this show as it is one that I can relate to. I know people exactly like each one of these characters.
- CreatorDrew CareyBruce HelfordStarsDrew CareyDiedrich BaderKathy KinneyA sitcom about Drew's personal and professional life.You are guaranteed to laugh every time you watch this show. Drew Carey is simply hilarious. This was the first time I saw Craig Ferguson.
- CreatorGraham ChapmanEric IdleTerry JonesStarsGraham ChapmanJohn CleeseTerry GilliamThe original surreal sketch comedy showcase for the Monty Python troupe.I really love these guys!! Always makes me laugh when they dress up like ladies (and talk like ladies)! Ministry of Silly Walks cracks me up every time.
