Frasier is a favourite.
Series 4 of Blackadder is brilliant.
I have recenly gotten into Seinfeld. Seen up to series 6 thanks to DVDs. Just starting 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' which I think I might like even more than Seinfeld.
Bottom is great, but series 3 wasn't as funny as the first two.
The Simpsons is fantastic. So is Family guy.
Only fools and horses is well worth a watch too.
Can't forget Fawlty Towers - as well as being brilliant, John Cleese was clever enough to stop making them while they were still great.
Rab C Nesbit was another favourite years ago - recently returned to my screens via DVD. Although from what I can recall it went on for a few series too much. But the first few series were good.
Still Game, another scottish sitcom from the same people that did chewin the fat, is also a current favourite. Its not very well known, but I think its great.
Cheers, how could I forget cheers. Again, seen the first few series via DVD. I have to say though, Frasier is better. But thats not to say cheers isn't good.
Used to like Red Dwarf; stopped watching around series 7 when they ran out of funny jokes. Don't watch it nowadays...maybe I will pick up the DVD's sometime.
And to think I was just about to post this without mentioning Father Ted!! Again, an absolute classic, because they didn't flog a dead horse and stopped while it was still great. Must get that on DVD soon - have it on tape but would rather have the DVD's. Saw that new comedy from the guy who wrote father ted - 'the it crowd', and liked it, but I don't think it was all that much of a success, so we may never hear of it again unfortunately!
I had also forgotten how brilliant the office is... but since seeing a few episodes recently I can confirm that it is...um...brilliant. The only thing I would hold against it is that some scenes are so well done they are embarassing to watch!! I feel sorry for David Brent!
And finally, probably the best new sitcom of recent years; Peep Show. The writing was at its best in series one, but series two and three are still worth seeing; I think you can get all 3 series on DVD quite cheap; I would reccomend everyone gets series one - it is brilliant.
And to round off....some shit Sitcoms:
Keeping Up Appearences
The Brittas Empire
Last of the Summer Wine
Gimme Gimme Gimme
The Vicar of Dibley
My Family
Men Behaving Badly - got a lend of the DVDs off a mate, with memories of it being brilliant...but I didn't enjoy it at all!
I'm sure there are others, but I don't watch them, due to them being shit.

I hate those stupid cliche sitcoms like 'The King Of Queens' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond' with a blue collar dad, the neurotic mother in law, the clueless father in law, and the hot MILF wife.
Pure and boring crap.
Too bad they have to cancel the great sitcoms like 'Arrested Development' that for once dared to do something different.

I like Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond!

I love the Golden Girls! Love them, love them, love them! My friends and I plan to move in together when we're old and we're going to be just like them!
I also love the Simpsons, Grounded for Life, and Seinfield.
