Most of what passes as humor in sitcoms seems to me to be nothing more than people insulting each other, so I'm not a big fan. But sometimes a good episode pops up with a good plot. I like ones with a lot of side plots that mesh together in the end. Tonight's rerun of Will and Grace was one. The Thanksgiving episode.

There were a couple good Frasiers, before Niles and Daphne got together. After that, they all sucked.

Some Seinfelds were pretty good.

My favorite is WKRP in Cincinnati when the weatherman divebombed a mall with live turkeys from a helicopter.

My favorite was that episode of Three's Company where there was a misunderstanding, then they had to pretend Jack was gay.


Oh...wait a minute......

That's the one I immediately thought of when I read the topic.

King of the Hill

When Hank unknowningly takes in a prostitute, and pimps her out to all his propane customers, and then has a run-in with her old pimp Alabaster. LOL heheh!!!

Dude.. that is something I was tempted to make a thread over. Frasier, before they got together, was SO funny and I would watch it with reruns of Simpsons and Seinfeld daily.. but once they got together, I just can't watch it ever again and avoid those shows like the plague.. WHY did they do that, god damned witless producers! And now FOX won't even show those older shows.. DVD's will be a must.

Just about every Fawlty Towers.
And most of the seinfelds.
Also, many futurama episodes are hysterical the first time, but they lose so much in the second viewing.

Another vote on Frasier. I havent seen anything not on DVD. And they arent up to Niles and Daphne getting together yet.
But I could sit through a whole season and laugh like a cretin.

Not a big Friends fan, but the one where Ross gets the spray on tan is pretty funny.
