Blackadder 2
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Scrubs
The League of Gentlemen
Frasier
Probably there are some shows better than those which I forgot but here we go:
1-South Park
2-How I Met Your Mother
3-Seinfeld
4-Married With Children
5-Two And A Half Man
I forgot to write Coupling :grin:
1. Monty Python
2. Monty Python
3. Monty Python
4. Monty Python
... Oh, and South Park. And possibly the Goons show too.
Tenaciouscj got some good ones.
Yeah Fast Forward was cool. (And just look what happened to Eric Bana since then!)
Also the Late Show and Frontline.
Yeah. I agree.
How about "Third Rock From the Sun"?
It's live, so no canned laughter, and the plots could just as easily have come out of England. (Just watched the first season all the way through.)
I found US shows like The Cosby show irritating for their habit of exposition of ajoke. I'm of the opinion that explaining why ajoke is funny for five minutes in character isn't funny.
Anyway
UK
1) Blackadder (all of the series)
2) Red Dwarf (But 'new' Kochanski stinks)
3) Watching (from many years ago)
4) The Young Ones (mostly for nostalgia)
5) Porridge (repeated on satellite and it's funnier than I'd realised)
US
1) Married With children
2) Cheers
3) Frasier
4) Simpsons5)
the ones I dislike a lot and don't consider funny
Gimme Gimme Gimme (UK)
The Royale family (Uk)
The Cosby show (US)

Violet_Yoshi. All Amy's shows are indeed British. I just checked as there were a few there i'd never heard of.
1 - The Simpsons reigns supreme. Ralph Wiggum is a legend.
2 - The Family Guy - Stewie, I know where you're coming from.
3 - Daria - A girl after my own heart.
4 - Celebrity Deathmatch - All the fights you wanted settled are.
5 - Full Frontal (As previously mentioned by some - a great Aussie institution).
6 - Another Aussie icon - Norman Gunston. For those not aware of the Norman Gunston show, he is incredible and available on video etc.

And a little bit aspie?

Yeah. And "Mother and Son" also.
American shows I think are alright:
1. Third Rock from the Sun
2. Friends
3. South Park
4. Michael Moore's "Awful Truth"
(At least two of these based much of their humour on Monty Python)
American shows I think are stupid and/or irritating:
1. Sex in the City
2. David Letterman
3. Will and Grace
4. My Wife and Kids
(And almost all of the other Wayans brothers "comedies" seem to be nothing but a bunch of black guys making fun of white guys, which really gets STALE -- Sorry folks. I'm not at all racist but I will call a spade a spade and say there is something seriously annoying about American style humour.)
Other British comedies I like (Apart from Monty Python)
1. My Family
2. The Goons Show
3. Dead Ringers
4. The Goodies (Although I haven't seen any episodes since I was 11)
5. The Thin Blue Line
6. Mister Bean
(Bit long. Sorry.)
"M.A.S.H" (not exactly a sitcom though).
MASH was run in the US with a laugh-track. 'Nuff said. 
Did you know that the series M.A.S.H. had a longer running time than the real Korean War?
Fawlty Towers (the Eine Kleine Nachtmusik of British comedy)
...And that Fawlty Towers ran for only 12 episodes? Didn't seem that way, though, did it?
I like "My Hero", which used to be on UK TV but now it isn't. Bummer.

"My Hero" almost made my list. It wasn't great, but Ardal O'Hanlon was characteristically brilliant. Losing him just killed it (no disrespect meant to James Dreyfus, but...)
Eh?! Mustn't have got that far here.
Looking back, I see I missed "South Park." I know I said the list wasn't comprehensive, but that was unforgivable.
Oh. Absolutely. Capital offence.
I also loved [...] "You Can't Do That On Television".
That brings back memories!
Any other Australians remember Funky Squad?
Yay Funky Squad!!!!
I love so much of what those people did, especially The Late Show (Go Bargearse!) Frontline, The Castle, and The Dish.
"Let us face Launceston and Pray.
Legend. Legend. Dead set legend.
Top bloke. Top bloke..."
