Funniest Show Ever - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The early "Friends" episodes were hysterical but it's not the funniest show of all-time. Heck, any "NYPD Blue" episode where either David Caruso or Dennis Franz show their asses is funnier than most of the newer episodes of "Friends"

I've been getting into "Ellen" reruns on Lifetime. Other hysterical shows are "Newsradio", "Curb Your Enthusiasm", "The Office" and "Family Guy". "Arrested Development" and "Andy Richter ontrols the universe" also make the list.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is funny
Frasier is funnier
Becker is funnier than both

and Cheers is the funniest show of all time!

no no Maria.

CYE and Frasier are both funnier than Becker.

but I agree about Cheers.

THREE'S COMPANY!

I Love Lucy is indeed the funniest show ever created in my book!

Honorable mentions:
~ Three's Company
~ Laverne & Shirley
~ The Lucy Show

I agree with I Love Lucy, Three's Company, and Laverne & Shirley....
but I just could never get into "The Lucy Show".... I Love Lucy has actually been the only show I ever liked other than The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour.

Three's Company or That 70's Show!

Coach - Hayden, Luther, Dauber, Howard, and Stuart (only when he cries) made this extremely funny.

Zions Mother · 08-03-2005, 07:54 AM

Friends was no where near the funniest show ever. There are hundreds of funnier shows.

Beverly Hillbillies, Cheers, Threes Company, Simpsons, Frasier, Sanford & Son, Will & Grace, etc....Even when Festus and Doc went at it on Gunsmoke, they were funnier than Friends

The first three years of The Lucy Show were perfect. Once her character moved to LA, it wasn't as funny as it use to be. Still though I think it is way better than I Love Lucy.

To me, Roseanne and The Facts of Life are the funniest sitcoms ever. I never get tired of them.
