I vote Seinfeld. Best comedy show ever, IMO.

Never really cared for Seinfeld myself. Venture Bros. was nice.

Seinfeld, without question. Family Guy is good the first 300 times you hear its jokes.

Unlike Seinfeld, which isn't even funny the first time.

Yes, I suppose not all comedy shows can exceed the hilarity of a fat man and his talking dog.


Though I suppose I'm being mean comparing Family Guy to Friends. It's like comparing...Bara's grammar to Delfos'. Delfos' is better, but neither is the kind of grammar I'd trust in my English Honors final. Family Guy is good for a laugh, as opposed to Friends, which is good for skipping over.

Venture Bros. would beat the hell out of any other show.  Not only do you have Brock Samson, but the combined forces of David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Klaus Nomi.  No one can defeat that.

I liked Seinfeld quite a bit when it was still running, though I concur that Venture Bros. is superior.

For some reason, I was thinking a literal battle.  Which you have to admit would be interesting.  Still, Venture Bros. wins out by a long shot, though I also don't hate Seinfeld.

I don't know what we're talking about, it looks like a critique! Well, Seinfeld's people are too realistic for TV, I mean cmon fat short man and tall gangly guy with bad hair? REALISM ISN'T FOR TV, didn't you watch survivor and learn??? Then again, all the characters on friends keep having sex with and sleeping with the people within their small circle of friends. It's like a MTV reality show, only less high school-ish more married/whipped.
I have become, again and again.

Your avatar calls to mind "Futurama". Now there's another show I appreciate.

I suppose Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies aren't traditional comedies, but they're both hilarious.
"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
