No Flight of the Conchords on the list?
Flight of the Conchords sucks.
Is that opinion possible?
First rule of posting any horseshit list from some place is to copy and paste said horseshit list so that we don't give the place the bandwith.
It is particularly egregious in this case because the #1 title wasn't on a page. No, you had to sit through 60 seconds of some horseshit movie clip before you got to see what it was.

It's not so bad. I'm on board with the top three. The State and Ben Stiller are fairly weak examples of a genre enjoying its peak around their era, though. Picking them over Upright Citizens Brigade, Mr. Show, or even KitH is dubious.
Fuck Friends, get that shit out of here. Everything else is fine I guess. Maybe I'm too easily impressed but I think the recent string of amazing comedies that have completely left the sitcom behind are funnier than anything that's come before.

G.O.B. alone makes AD worthy of the #1 spot.
edit: I don't even know, I'm leaving this here.
Ben Stiller Show was horrible and as much as I loved it, The State was pretty bad at times
Arrested Development had three seasons (much less than almost everything else on the list, except Ben Stiller and the State) and probably shouldn't be at the top for that reason alone, unless you are adding other shows with three seasons like Parks and Rec and Community
And if you're going with old standby's like Taxi and Cheers, where the fuck is MASH?
No Community?
Community's second season wasn't very good.
Hodgepodge
Community is already a better show than 30 Rock ever was.
That's right. I said it.
WOW
Community is horrible. I'd watch it for Alison Brie but she's on Mad Men so whatever.
Shows.
I stopped reading at Family Guy.
I didn't think the list seemed that bad. I was rather surprised. Though I would hardly give Arrested the number 1 spot, it was a very good show.
I have no words.Quote:

is it just me or does nick at nite just show minority shoes that don't scare old white people, now?Quote:

Third: I liked Faulty Towers when I was 12 and obsessed with all forms of brititsh humor but all in all I don't know that it's really that exceptional.
What sort of motherless fuck puts All in the Family below Seinfeld?

These are all pieces of shit.
Flying Circus is good. You are wrong.
I'm surprised Arrested Development was considered #1, even though it might be my personal #1.
I would definitely add Flight of the Conchords. Curb should be above friends.
If only Portlandia would have lasted longer. It wasn't the greatest thing ever, but sometimes it was.

true story, I've never seen Flight of the Conchords. The two main characters looked like gay twink porn stars. I saw them and thought to myself "there is nothing for me here"
If only they were trannies.
The show might be interesting?
Friends makes the list but not Honeymooners?
why even bother? It's not like a top 100 games list where at least you can say the writers have more experience than the people reading or some basis to make the opinion qualified/interesting. This is literally no better or more interesting than if any random blogger posted a list of 25 shows in order of personal preference. Who gives a shit?
You're a fool, season 1 is a glorious little pearl of comedy. It's about a 2 man comedy band from New Zealand starring as themselves trying to make it big in the US as a for reals band. It's full of delicious self-deprecation, bad decisions, and amazing music that makes fun of music. I like boom, you like boom, enough small boom let's boom the boom.Quote:

If only Family Ties were in three dee. Then it could be the worst show but FLYING AT YOU.
Family Ties rules. Also when Friends beat The Larry Sanders Show I stopped reading.
I can't say I am surprised, but I can say I am saddened.Quote:
