Haha! Oops, sorry, I meant the flight! The rest of the trip I quite enjoyed

I thought it was a bit odd that you went OS and just watch telly.

Re: Sitcoms

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be too over the top to say Eastbound and down is the greatest thing produced in mankind's history. - I guess we now know who Goose is.

Get ready for season 4. Might be hard to class it as a sitcom though.

Some notables I don't think have been mentioned: Curb your Enthusiasm, Flight of the Concords, 30 Rock and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Possibly Louie Archer and Delocated depending on if you class them as sitcoms

While Eastdog mentioned they were popular in the 90s I think they're still popular but less instantly recognizable sine the early 2000s with shows like the Office (UK) and Arrested Development showing that if you ditch the cheesy studio audience (or even worse the canned laughter) you can pack in lot's more jokes and set a better or more realistic tone.

Currently getting into The League. It's already right up there in my all time faves Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, & Bored to Death.

Curb's Seinfeld reunion series is just about the best ever season of any sitcom ever.

Re: Sitcoms

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the bestttt. As is Parks and Recreation, Seinfeld, The Office and Community. I also love 30 Rock and Arrested Development. The Young Ones (is that a sitcom?). Workaholics is rad.

Re: Sitcoms

Ooh I forgot Scrubs and Peep Show.

Yeah, It's good Soph?
I have had a DVD of this for a good 10 months and haven't watched it yet. I need to have a look.

All Together Now.

Purely for the intro theme.

Re: Sitcoms

Another I forgot is The Royle Family. Has anyone seen it? It is a British television show which ran for 3 series from 1998 to 2000. For fans of The Office Uk and Extras it is a must see.

Re: Sitcoms

One of the great things about having teeneage kids is going back and watching TV shows you used to like with them. Some age well and some dont.

Taxi is one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Andy Kaufman is a genius.

I love it. Charlie Kelly is actually one of the best characters ever. The humour in it isn't everyones cup of tea, but I think it's great (especially for an American creation). Season 3 and 4 are the best IMO.

Re: Sitcoms

It may not be trendy with the hipster set like Arrested Development, Louie or Always Sunny but I'm a sucker for Everybody Loves Raymond.

Maybe the last decent show with the audience laughter.

If it's the first season keep in mind that it changes a fair bit even by season 2 (when Danny Devito rocks up)
