    Wonder Years (how could anyone not vote for Winnie Cooper?!?!?!?!)

    I have also come to appreciate Boy Meets World after never seeing it during its network run.

    When it is on its game, Curb is the funniest show on the list. But it is wildly inconsistent.

    I'd say that The Office, Arrested Development and Seinfeld are top 3.

    What about Married ... With Children? Not above Seinfeld/Simpsons, but it had a pretty good run.

    I seriously can't see how anyone could not find the humor in Seinfeld or the Simpsons. Just great shows. The others I can allow for differing tastes (as I said I hate Scrubs). But these two I thought were universally hilarious. Guess not.

    I was the biggest fan of Married with Children. At least for the first 7 seasons. Then it faded bigtime.

    Had they not absolutely shit the bed the last couple seasons, Roseanne would belong on the short list.

    The Larry Sanders Show is the funniest show I've seen.

    I loved that show. Well, more specifically, I loved everything but the Gold Rush/Britian episodes, the whole 'Seven' plot and the episodes with new Buck.

    Ditto on that Beaker. I would have voted for AD, but since it wasn't a choice, I went with Seinfeld.

    I watch it whenever I can. The humor on that is lightning quick at times and way more mature -- language and scenarios; not the jokes, per se -- than I ever could have understood years ago. The last season wasn't great, but I dug the ending -- for nothing more than its creativity.
