Some shows stand out because of one maybe two characters that make it hysterical.

Others have a cast filled with characters that bring tons of laughs.



In which sitcom(s) is every character funny??

I think these are shows where every character is funny:

Cheers
Frasier
Seinfeld
The Dick Van Dyke Show
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
and The Bob Newhart Show

Seinfeld
Married... With Children
WKRP
Taxi
Frasier
Whats Happening

NewsRadio
Wings
Boy Meets World
Taxi

The only character I can think of on Roseanne that was not funny was Bev. DJ became increasingly less funny from the 7th season onward because of puberty, but overall, the cast was top notch.

Three's Company. All of the characters were funny at some point in the series.

I Love Lucy. Same as 3's Co.

Definatly agree with TC. Each character had something about them that generated laughs.

Same with "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman." In just the 35 episodes that TVLand has shown, I found each of the characters to have something funny about them. Each one has made me laugh at least once.

I think Ricky was funny, but besides that he was the straight man. A lot of people don't give credit to the straight man. I'm not saying you are one of them. It's just that a lot of people I know don't like Ricky Ricardo because of him not allowing Lucy to "be in the show." But if Ricky wasn't that way, there would be less comedy. Lucy wouldn't have to fight and trick her way into the show with hilarious results. In other words ...


Ricky Ricardo Rules !!!

I agree that without Ricky there would be no show.
But they shouldve at least made him funny.
Give him some deadpan humor or at least something.
Anyways, Id take Fred and Ethel over Ricky and Lucy anyday.

I believe, and this may be just a dream I once had, but I thought they had planned to do a Mertz spin-off. However, since both William Frawley and Vivian Vance couldn't stand eachother they passed on the proposal. If the show would have really happened, it would be odd to have the Mertzes without the Ricardos.

Boy Meets World

Who's the Boss?

Wings

Three's Company

Step by Step

Wings and The Odd Couple are the only 2 I can think of right now.

That's a matter of an opinion. There were some moments in the series where Ricky was funny.

I apologize, I meant to say "IMO"
I never found him funny.
He did make Lucy even funnier.... but he himself never got any laughs out of me.

:nod: You gotta give props to a guy who can put up with that crap year after year after year and still sing about it.

Well now, I take that back. Alex and Casey weren't funny on Wings.

Yeah... at times all of the characters were funny... maybe except Flash but he was only in a few episodes. I also think that in BMW mostly all of the characters were funny.

I've laughed at every character on "Cheers," "Seinfeld," "Friends" and "Will & Grace" at some point.

Seinfeld,definetly.The Seinfeld 4 were a riot,and without one of them,the show just wouldn't be the same.

The Nanny is another sitcom where all the characters made me laugh.

Seinfeld...Cheers.....Frasier (not really daphne a lot but sometimes)........M*A*S*H..........Married With Children.........The King Of Queens..........

OH! I forgot "Grounded for Life". That's fast becoming one of my new favourite TV "must-sees" (TV shows I must watch :p )

I like Grounded For Life, but I wouldn't say the entire cast is funny.

Three's company, married with children, fresh prince of bel-air and cosby show

Here is my list of shows where every character is funny.

Sanford And Son
The Golden Girls
Seinfeld
Family Guy

What's Happening
The Facts of Life
The Golden Girls

Three's Company and That 70's Show

[I don't think the mertz's would have been a good spinoff becuase I feel there'd be no point without Lucy. Kinda like if you take Jack and Karen from will and Grace. It just wouldn't be the same.]

Shows where every character is funny:

I Love Lucy
Three's Company
All In The Family
How I Met Your Mother

Married...with Children
Good Times
Three's Company
All in the Family (except Stephanie)
Roseanne
The Bob Newhart Show
WKRP in Cincinatti
Soap
That '70s Show

The Simpsons

MASH (Although "War is Hell" Hawkeye and "Wah, wah, I miss my wife and kid!" BJ are not funny.)

Wings (Even Alex and Casey had their moments.)

Scrubs (When will it be back? I need my JD fix!!!)

Definetly Family Ties and Spin City. Also Boy Meets World and Happy Days

Three's Company
Wings
Cheers
I Love Lucy

I don't know any show that has only funny characters. There are *always* some characters who are not, or who I even can't stand.

Good point with TC.... but as for ILL, Ricky wasn't really funny.
I thought Ricky's fractured English was pretty funny at times.
