The king of sitcoms is friends. But I also love frasier, big bang, keeping up appearances and vicar of dibley.

Growing up it was Cheers, and Mash. Currently i like How I Met Your Mother, Arrested Development, and I'm getting into Enlisted.

All of those plus Everybody Loves Raymond and British sitcoms like Porridge, Open All Hours, Dad's Army, Some Mothers Do Av Em and Fawlty Towers.

Cheers, Seinfeld, Family Matters, Frasier are my all-time favorites.  Liked Two and a Half Men as well until Charlie Sheen went nanners and quit.

Oh I love Raymond. I've never been a big Patricia Heaton fan, but that's the one thing she did that I like. And Ray Romano is so damn funny. I wish that the girl who played Amy did other stuff, but I think that was the only thing she ever did.

Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm are brilliant
Of the older ones i love Rising Damp, Porridge, Fawlty Towers and Dads Army.

Another who can't stand Mr's Browns Boys here, but Fr Ted is great.

+1 for hatred of Mrs Browns Boys - but this is the awesome thing about TV/Movies - there is something out there for everyone, and both formats have so much variety to cater for all tastes.

I define sitcom as something filmed in front of a studio audience, so for me my favorites are:
Vicar of Dibley, Miranda, and I still belly laugh from the Golden Girls - it was so well written and performed even by todays standards. " eat dirt and die, trash" - Blanche - I quote this pretty much every other day to someone lol....

Curb your inthusiasm is brilliant. I got introduced to it while studying postmodernism at uni.

It really is. I hear Larry David is saying there won't be any more.
Hopefully he can be persuaded to change his mind.

Also no one mentioned Only Fools and Horses.That has to be up there, especially the early shorter episodes.
It dropped a little in quality, when the episodes got longer and they brought annoying wives in.
