Pints, if you liked Seinfeld, you'll probably like Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Canadian show Trailer Park Boys ... no contest

Aha!! Trailer Park Boys most definitely, I was sick last year for a week and i got through about 5 series in one day, classics!

Also:

Scrubs
Family Guy
Only Fools...
Father Ted
Seinfeld
Old Simpsons (if that counts)
Frasier
fair City (for the laughable acting  ;D )

Probably a few more I can't think of.

And 'comedy actors' I can't stand:
Jack Black (over exaggerates everything, I just feel like throwing the telly out the window when he's on)
Tom Green
Sarah Silverman for any of the US exiles
St. Patricks GFC - Louth SFC Champions 2003, 2004, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2014 & 2015

I think of myself more as 'The Green Bastard'

cracking show. Some of the scenes in this show are absolutely brilliant. de Vito is amazing altogether.

my favourite show at the minute is boston legal, Shatner is as bad an actor as i have ever seen but in this he is superd and James Spader is always excellent.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Anyone ever watch "Spaced"?

As far as I'm concerned, it is up there with the best sitcoms ever.

Try this for size

Canalman

For me it has to be Phoenix Nights.

Honorable mentions to:-

Married with Children
The Phil Silvers Show (aka Sgt Bilko)
Trailer Park Boys
The Family Guy


Despise the following:-

Friends
Only Fools and Horses (must be the only person on the planet who dislikes it)

THE MIGHTY QUINN

Managed to purchase the entire Phil Silvers series on E Bay. Very cheap too

Does anyone agree that Little Britain was the most objectionable, predicable  overrated rubbish ever to darken oiur TV screens
I agree. Hateful stuff altogether.

Great Leap Forward

My wee borther has bought all the DVD's of Family Guy recently and he has offloaded them to me as soon as he watched them. I never thought I would like it but it is class.

I also like Still Game. It is a Scottish sitcom about pensioners. It is a very funny show but it can take a while to pick up the lingo.

Roseyland

The IT crowd on C4 I think is one of the best comedies in the last few years.

A bit hit-and-miss but their 'Dragon's Den' scene in the penultimate programme of this year's series was the comedy scene of the year.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.
