King of Queens is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Darkplace not darkside fella. Yeah it's a great show. It helps you if you have a knowledge of B-movies.

Ok, I'll show my age now...

I haven't watched TV in years, but my favourites have always been All in the Family and M*A*S*H. They could be funny but also could be thought provoking too at times (all those old Norman Lear shows were good, some better than others... ah, the good old days...).

I do have a liking for British humour though moreso than American humour... Are You Being Served?, Black Adder, Red Dwarf and Keeping Up Appearances were ones I enjoyed watching when I could (on PBS).

I've never understood Friends or Seinfeld or these other American shows of late like Everybody Loves Raymond, etc. Ugh.

Two British comedies I do NOT like are Absolutely Fabulous and Mr. Bean (Black Adder was so much funnier).

My favorite sitcom from the past 20 years is Married with Children, no seriously.

Aside from that. I like Cheers, Seinfield, Fraiser, Roseanne and Everybody Loves Rayman and thats pretty much it. And The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, Daily Show and Colbert Report if those kinda shows could be considered sitcoms.

Sitcoms today just don't have the appeal that older shows like All In The Family have. Tis a shame.

Arrested Development and Freaks and Geeks are the only two I really find worth watching.

Seinfeld is the greatest sitcom ever.

More like Good Times is the greatest sitcom ever.

I had a thing for Kelly. Sexy, dumb and blonde...perfect.
Loved that show.

Forgot Phoenix Nights too. Beats the hell out Peter Kay's stand up any day. Sammy the snake!

To be fair a 3 hour open university programme about Algebraic Geometry has more laughs than Peter Kay's stand up.
