The Office (US) I think you'll love the bbc version, because in my opinion the US version doesn't come close Originally posted by Beamer: Arrested Development (if you don't like this show, you're stupid) South Park The Office (US, still yet to see the British version) Futurama The Simpsons
Could've sworn we've had a crapload of threads like this already... Well I did search, but saying that if someone in the future searches, I doubt they'll find this thread, I should really have made the name more relevant... How is it that loads of people list arrested development as one of their favourites, but it was cancelled because of low ratings?? There are loads of comedies mentioned here that I haven't seen, and I plan to look in on them if i get the chance.

Originally posted by Beamer:Because it WAS a low-rating show. But Arrested Development and Futurama have a lot in common. Both were incredibly funny shows rejected by the public but loved by critics, both were WAY too smart for television, both foreshadowed things years in advance before they happened, both had two unsuccessful seasons in a slot after The Simpsons, then were moved to bad slots by Fox to intentionally kill them (because both shows had very powerful people in charge who Fox didn't want to piss off). It's only natural that the shows would find similar cult audiences - and trust me, hardcore AD fans are WAY more rabid than hardcore Futurama fans. And anyone who frequents the Arrested Development thread can back me up on that. Plus, one of the writers on AD is Futurama writer Ron Weiner. Granted, he only wrote two episodes in the show's third season, but still... I know they are much more rabid!  I remember the send bannanas to fox campaign, but unfortunately they didn't have the numbers, I would join arrested development message boards but I haven't seen season 3 because I live in the the UK, and I'm afraid of spoilers, so I'll wait 'til I've seen them all.

My current running top comedies: 1. Monk 2. My Name is Earl 3. The Office (US) 4. Late Night with Conan O'Brien
I would put The Simpsons at 5, but they've trailed off lately, so only a Top 4 for currents.
