Best ever American Comedy

[yongkuk]

In order to redress the balance (Best ever British comedy). We need to have a forum post for best American comedy. Heres a few to get you going-
Seinfeld (of course)
Curb your enthusiasm (totally brilliant)
Fraser (you have got to admire it's consistency)
Simpsons (but is it a comedy?)
Six feet Under (brilliant)
Barney Miller
WKRP in Cincinatti

You forgot Family Guy!

[tgpo]

Family Guy wins, hands down.

Family Guy wins, hands down.

Yup...I just watched the episode where Lois loses their car to the indian casino on superstation.

Peter: Oh my god brian I'm getting a message from the cereal, it says 'oooooooooooo'

Brian: Peter those are Cheerios

[tgpo]

Naw. Peter called them Alphabits, remember.

Peter: Man I hate these guys, they always try to pull jokes on us.

Other Team's Player: Hey you want some Gum
Team Member: Yeah, Thanks.
Other Team's Player: Ha Ha, That was joke gum, now you're addicted to Crack!!
Team Member: Soooo Cold.....

Yeah that was a good episode...I probably misheard the other one.

Woman's Camp Retreat lady: I'm happy to announce that there is a man joining us today. Everybody, I want you to meet Peter Griffin who's here to get in touch with his feminine side. The world would be a much better place if there were more men like him.

Peter: Okay, okay, so heres what I'm thinking. I'm Charlie and all of you are my angels. Except you(pointing to a fat lady). You be Bosley.

I loved the one where Stewie plays basketball and then trips one of the dudes and starts talking slang. I've seen that episode a couple of times, but it still cracks me up.

Does anyone know when "When you wish upon a Wienstien" airs? I buddy of mine told me sometime in november on cartoon network but does anyone know exactly when?

It didn't.

[Devanshu]

I know it didnt yet but when is it supposed to?

[Devanshu]

Nevermind. According to this forum(courtesy of a google search), it's supposed to air November 2nd at 11:00 PM eastern.

[tenders]

tgpo (in his poll) forgot one of the best comedies on the air today: According To Jim. jim belushi is a riot

[Craig Tucker]

There can be only one

[Devanshu]

I loved the simpsons too...until I saw family guy. Now it's one of my favorite shows...even though they show the same episodes over and over. The sad thing is that they cant make any more episodes. The sadder story is why...

[Craig Tucker]

Why ?

[indolikaa]

Yeah. Why?

(Chewie is that you?!)

[Devanshu]

My fault...I was told that the reason why they didnt continue family guy anymore was because the person who did most of the voices(seth mcfarlane) died in the september 11 attacks.

Here's what actually happened:

On September 11, 2001 Seth MacFarlane was scheduled to return to Los Angeles on American Airlines Flight 11 after being a keynote speaker at his alma-mater in Rhode Island. Due to a mix-up by his travel agent he was told that his flight was scheduled to depart at 8:00am but it really departed at 7:45am and he had arrived at Boston Logan Airport a few minutes after boarding was stopped on his flight and he was told he would have to wait for the next flight. At 8:45am one hour after the departure of American Airlines Flight 11 it was hijacked by terrorists and crashed into One World Trade Center (North Tower) in New York City killing all onboard.

Whoops

Now that I think about it...why dont they continue family guy??

[Ejoc]

Family guy is so friggn funny, I have a sick sense of humor, so I think its great. That followed by Futurerama on Cartoon Network every night make me happy

I loved the one where he took his chin off, and put it in his pants since it looks like his testicles. I love NON-PC shows.

Simpsons rock too, its the longest running comedy in the USA.

Yeah, with ER in a close second

I loved the one where he took his chin off, and put it in his pants since it looks like his testicles.

Peter: Hey what're these doing up here?

Another one I loved is the one where Peter becomes a fisherman. The part I thought that was hilarious was the part they were playing pictionary and stewie was drawing. Here's my paraphrased version:

The dude: Jackyl Jackyl Jackyl Jackyl its Jackyl isnt it Jackyl Jackyl Jackyl

Someone: TIME

Stewie: If it wasnt Jackyl the first time what makes you think it'll be Jackyl the next 10 times

[tenders]

the best ever......has to be: All In The Family it still cracks me up whenever i see it, a show that was way ahead of its time.

[subclubkid]

Seth isnt dead, they are working on a DTV movie right now, and are going to revamp the series and try to get picked up for a new series on a different channel.

I know...I was under the impression at first but I found this article online. BTW, do you know what channel they're thinking of??

[MackemX]

I like most of the ones mentioned and although I'm not so sure how it rates overall, I think Bender out of Futurama is quite funny and makes that program

a funny moment that springs to mind is when he shit a brick when he was scared

never watched the family guy though but it does sound good according to you guys

[boss]

what about cheers? if it was'nt for that, there would be no fraiser!

[Devanshu]

If you get the chance, you should! Its a great show. If you liked The Simpsons, chances are you'll LOVE family guy.
