The Official Good Television Thread

[CiG]

Wouldn't have a clue. But I recently re-watched The Young Ones and that has laughs, consistency and obviously re-watchablity so stick that one on there.

That's probably what would've been on mine before I got into Trailer Park Boys tbh. That or Married with Children!

 

[Slammed]

But from the more moden ones id have to go with Married With Children, Trailer Park Boys, Seinfeld, 3rd Rock From the Sun, Its Always Sunny, Saved By The Bell, That 70s Show, The Drew Carey Show, Becker, Wings, Dear John, My Name is Earl, The Big Bang Theory, Martin, King of Queens .... pretty sure im forgetting some too.

I'd always put the likes of Married With Children and Drew Carey higher than Seinflied on the Office.

My personal Mount Rushmore of sitcoms. Feel bad that nothing Aussie or British is up there, but in terms of pure laughs, consistency and rewatchability these are just beasts.

the simpsons, arrested development, it's always sunny, peep show

with honourable mentions to darkplace, father ted, the thick of it, fawlty towers, south park

seinfeld is surprisingly scarce on TV here and always has been to my knowledge, we don't get old eps constantly playing the way we do with fuckin' friends or w/e, so i've only caught eps here and there and i feel like i need to properly binge watch it. the girl i'm seeing lately is into trailer park boys so hopefully we'll watch that soon too (she loves all four of my mt rushmore shows and has a peep show reference for literally any situation )

Friends and Big Bang Theory get hammered here. 5 nights a week, multiple episodes a night in order, then the weekly run of BBT repeated on a Saturday and Sunday night.

Two and a Half Men used to be the same with 4 episodes a night, but they've recently taken it off and replaced it with Fraiser and The Neighborhood. Seinfeild was heavily run here about a decade ago, with multiple eps a day but not that much thee days.

I've missed way too much of South Park to be a fan. I watched the first few series but then lost track of it. But I do watch Red Dwarf start to finish once every year or so.

I purposely excluded animated sitcoms, that deserves its own Rushmore!

Bottom is also a very close contender for me. Honestly it's better than The Young Ones depending on my mood.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Seinfeld is on netflix too

 

[CiG]

Two and a Half Men

I loved this show right up until Kutcher took over. Berta was a legend! RIP.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Yea thats definitely one of the ones i forgot to mention.

 

[Slammed]

For me it didn't stand up to a second viewing. Originally Alan's stinginess and downright unlikeability was funny, but the second time around he was just boring.
Berta and Rose were the best characters on the show for me. And Charlie's daughter was the best of the rebooted version.

 

[CiG]

Need more hours in the day then I could marathon all these sitcoms.

What's everybody's favourite animated ones? The Simpsons, South Park and Beavis & Butthead immediately come to mind.

 

[Slammed]

Simpson and South park are the same for me. Missed way to many of them over the years to follow them.
I did watch most of Futurama, American Dad and Family Guy,but I haven't seen anything recent.

I remember Inspector Gadget and Bananaman.

And I still watch Bluey

 

[CiG]

Bluey!

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Man i can make a giant list for that ine but Beavis and Butthead will forever be my #1 animated series.

Have any of you guys watched Norsemen?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

@Slammed @CiG @no country for old wainds
You guys will definitely dig this series.

Arvid the Great...

I watched a couple eps when it first dropped and thought it was funny. Not sure why I never got back to it, cheers for the reminder.

I just remembered King of the Hill! That's definitely in my Rushmore of sitcom toons.

 

[no country for old wainds]

space ghost coast to coast is a big favourite of mine and at least has some sitcom elements lol

 

[Slammed]

Norsemen looks ok, I'll give it a go soon.

I watched Shinning Girls recently. That was a bit of a mind fuck they way it was presented. I also watched Bodies a few weeks back which was okay. It felt a little bit disjointed but it was easy enough to follow.
