Actually up until a few years back you would have been wrong, we used to only have four channels and it wasn't unusual for a good comedy to get 20 million viewers. thats all changed now though obviously.

I liked Cheers a lot back in the day and watched every episode of the whole series. But I couldn't go back and re-watch it again now. There is just too much else new to enjoy when I do want to wtch tv.

"What's shaking Norm?"

"All 4 cheeks and a couple of chins."

+1 for Curb your Enthusiasm. Larry David is the master of awkward comedy.

I had seen the odd episode on planes over the years and always enjoyed them so when I saw an 8 series dvd box collection, I snapped it up and finished it in less than a week.

both were ground breaking...

Oz

hands down best show ever

homemade is always the best :2 cents:

Cant believe nobody mentioned The Honeymooners. Now that show was funny.

I just wish that one time Ralph would follow through with his bluff and knock alice to the moon.

i would say that cheers is probably the best network sitcom of all time in the US. sustained excellence for many many years.

i feel like TV has reached such a high water mark the past few years in terms of dramas though. to have shows like Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Boardwalk Empire all on at the same time is fucking AWESOME.

you got that right,

I was a big fan of Oz own the DVD's. I found the wire was better though if you haven't seen it
