There are other funny TV shows out there, but not in the same way as Seinfeld.
Seinfeld,
Still a classic? Hell yes!
Last fresh breath of comedy? |

My top three would be
1. Seinfeld
2. Curb Your Enthusiasm
3. Arrested Development
Arrested development would probably have become number one if there would have been more seasons. |

| Seinfeld along with Friends, while good shows, are the two most overrated sitcoms of all time. For a show to be truly great, it has two work on more than one level. MASH, All In the Family, The Simpsons do, Seinfeld doesnt. |

| The Simpsons. Especially the first ten seasons. Maybe not the first season. Seinfeld looks quite dated now. Even when it was running new episodes I got the feeling that at times they were having the same conversation just in different episodes with different story lines. Seinfled had more than its fair share of classic moments though. |

I like the Simpsons (yeah early seasons), curb your enthusiasm, what I managed to see of arrested development. Best Simpsons is season 3 through 6 or 7 maybe.
I liked Seinfeld for George and Kramer. Very funny characters, especially George (Worlds collide Jerry! World's collide! or I'm bald, unemployed, and I live with my parents! ). But Seinfeld himself had such an ego, and Elaine was just so so.
Cheers and Mash in their best seasons were funny. Gary Shandling's show on HBO (I forget the title, where he was the talk show host) was good.
Still, overall the Simpsons would be my choice. Homer: "Give me the number for 911!" |

That Gary Shandling show was "The Larry Sanders Show" Awesome. So funny and really the first of the new breed of comedies. |

I guess this might keep this thread from being off topic and eventually deleted by mods:
That episode where Elaine goes to the Korean nail salon was funny, but did you know they weren't Korean? At least that's what my gfriend at the time said.
..I tried...  |

You know, I just realized bald guys are the best because pathetic is funny. Homer, George, and "Hank" the side kick on the Larry Sanders show were all hilarious.
My favorite Larry Sanders show was when the writer egged Hank's car. It was a reference to the O.J. Simpson trial. Hank was saying "O.J. hasn't been proved guilty! He's a friend of mine! The evidence is inconclusive"
So the writer is sitting in the room with a carton of eggs on the table, his shoes perched up covered with eggs. Hank comes in and says "some ass**** egged my car".
He lookes at the writer and he says "Did you egg my car?" The writer says "Hank, there's no conclusive evidence I egged your car. This is just circumstantial evidence. It's inconclusive. Remember OJ?"
Hank considers this and says "Okay. I believe you.I won't blame you based on this, kind of circumstantial evidence"
The writer says "Hank, I egged your goddam car."
Hank: "You bastard!"
I know relating this is unfunny, but it really was one of the funniest things I've ever scene on tv. |

| Yea, Seinfeld is probably number one. Funniest character of all time, hands down, was Archie Bunker. I still just die laughing at Caroll O'Connor's genius. |

Don't all laugh at once, but I downloaded a few seasons of The Beverly Hillbillies in black and white for my parents, and man, a lot of it is as funny as hell! The characters are all good, especially Granny and Jethro
It was made brilliantly for something that was filmed in the 60's or whatever |

I agree. Not sure how the cult following came about and Jerry Seinfeld's acting was always too horrible for me to endure. If most New Yorkers were as eccentric and pathetic as on the show, I would have moved out of here a long time ago.
My current favorite is the The Office. Can't get any better than that nowadays. As for past sitcoms, I'm an 80's child so I grew up watching I Love Lucy, Three's Company, Laverne & Shirley and What's Happening! among other shows. The comedy was a bit different than it is nowadays but still funny to this day. |
