Top 5:
The Office (British version) - A pure treat
Cheers – Mostly confined to the bar and still managed to be consistently fresh and funny
Andy Griffith – (B&W episodes) Barney/Otis/Floyd all classic characters and Andy just makes you feel better
Seinfeld – If only for “The Contest”
Modern Family – Best writing out there now
Overrated: I watched but thinking back I have issues with…
M*A*S*H – Just got stale and preachy
Friends- Amusing but not always funny
Married with Children – Groundbreaking but almost as many misses as hits on comedy
Two and a Half Men – Really? I watched a few but not sure why I watched any
Will & Grace – Once was enough

I had a hard time leaving the Munster's off.
And some episodes of cops are hilarious.
Cops: Sweaty naked dude on PCP in North Philly Cuts and Fades barbershop was the most hilarious broadcasted moment in the history of electricity. 4 Philly cops wrestle him down and he gets out of cuffs somehow and Broncs off officers like ragdolls.
Put it in the paper!!!!

I love The Office but it wasn't as good after Steve Carrell left.
I can't believe that nobody has Cops in their top 5. There is nothing funnier than a crack ho being tazed.

My assistant brought this **** talking circle J to my attention.
I'd comment further if I wasn't so pressed for time to finish packing for my hunting expedition. What am I hunting? Well...when you're rich, you can hunt anything.
Me and a few of my buddies from the studios have a nice little weekend planned in Laos. There's this "company" that gathers derelicts, homeless, and other miscreants for my friends and I to track and kill for sport. We've been told they almost never use innocents....was very important to me when shopping around for the best package and ultimately tipped the scale to them.
We're on the beginner's package this time because I have some noobs coming along, but they have such a great plethora of options. You can pre-equip the "game" with 5 Xanax and a nerf bat if you're a *****, all the way up to crystal meth and machetes for the true sportsmen.
Anywho, lots of love to all of my haters. Wish me luck! XOXO

I liked it in the early years, now that it has turned into some form of a family comedy it does suck. One any show gets past 5 or 6 seasons it's a near lock it's going to go down the toilet.
I'm going to suck at this but the idea is interesting -- so here goes
Top 5 Funny Ones (no particular order)
1) Frasier
2) Mad TV
3) Raising Hope
4) The Office
5) Parks & Recreation
Honorable Mention : In Living Color
5 Most Overrated - I think a LOT of TV is overrated so I generally just don't watch it much -- so this part will be hard....I'll go based on what I've heard others say / not necessarily whether or not I've spent a lot of time watching these ...
1) 30D Rock
2) Cheers
3) 3 1/2 Men Always looked like the suck
4) George Ramos?? whatever his damn name is -- not funny
5) Different F'ing Strokes
