I'd have to call Family Guy and Scrubs the best comedies going, they're HISTERICAL! Lots of other WOEFUL CRAP lurking in the water, though (e.g: Bo Selecta!)
The Office - even though they've only shown six episodes in the US it's still better than any comedy on US TV in years.
The Office is good (mainly due to Ricky Gervais) I'd have to say 99.9% of all Americas sitcoms are HORRENDOUS. Friends is watchable lately because of David Schwimmers new persona, Scrubs is HILARIOUS (everybody is perfect in it, and JDs daydreams have literally made me cry laughing once or twice). Soem of the animated shows are good - Futurama is ok, the Simpsons is good (but hit & miss lately) and Family Guy is just packed laughs Then you look down the peckign order at the likes of Darma & Greg (Brian [the dod] from Family Guy: "What a pair; a free spirit and a puppet") which is unbearable, Will & Grace - the worst show ever (& the gay guy from that show is the most offensive to homoesxuals [not that I am gay], annoying, unfunny YOLK ever). There are way to many to mention but most of them are called "[name] & [name]"
I thought this was best comedies. I like Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (the English overdubbed version of Takeshi's Castle).
I watched that show for the first time the other day and it was hilarious! My favorite event was 'dirty balls', where that girl got smacked in the face by a falling soccer ball!
