I prefer character driven shows, movies, books etc, just in general.

That is actually what I liked about Cheers, the stationary set caused for it to be character driven.

I think Seinfeld actually achieved the perfect balance, because there was little central story, though every episode had a very complex storylines, the characters insane behavior is what really caused the humor.
