I am a big fan of sitcoms in general but only a few stand out for me.

- Fawlty Towers, only 12 where ever made but it remains the number one sitcom of all time for me.

- Frasier, American TV at its best. I want this series in its entirety on DVD

- Coupling, at first I thought this was nothing more then a Brittish Friends rip-off but I was wrong. It is a delightfully wickid series and I am glad I have season 1-3 on DVD

- Friends, I have this in its entirety on DVD and watch a few episodes every once in a while. Wonderfull but the last few seasons only rarely came up to the level of the first 5 or 6 seasons. A pitty.

Note worthy series,

The Young Ones, A Brittish comedy series that lasted only 12 episodes (two seasons same as Fawlty Towers) and aged rappidly because of its dependency on of 1980's youth culture reffenrences. I still love it.

Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister, Brittish political satire at its marvelous best. Only its narrow appeal (politics not being for everyone) makes this series miss out one of the top spots.

Northern Exposure, American absurd comedy. Great for the first two or three seasons but it lost a lot after that. Not for everyone.

Many more series deserve mention but they already have been mentioned before or I just can't think of them at the moment.

This is one of my favourites, I just find it completely hilarious (makes one wonder what's really going on in the parliament). I also agree that British sitcoms are generally very good when compared to American ones (not that I don't like the American ones, some of them are very good, but many of them just suck).

My all time favourite sitcom has to be Futurama (if that even counts as a sitcom). It can be enjoyed on so many levels. I have the series in its entirety and every time I rewatch an episode I find something new to laugh at, that I missed before. Why Fox cancelled this is beyond me.

I like all the sitcoms mentioned already but I must add my wholehearted stamp of approval to these ones.

"Third rock from the sun"... it just DOESN'T get much better than this.

"Black Adder" was great as well, as was the Flying Circus.

Simpsons didn't last THAT long, as much as the quality of humour was concerned.
Futurama should've had some more Episodes.

Other than that, nothing really outstanding comes to mind right now...

Friends I love that show... "Joey" isn't too bad either.

Other than that... I don't watch much tv any more :\
