The Bones Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Question: Does tv comedy include only half hour shows or would an hour long show such as freaks & geeks be eligible even though it's not a straight-forward comedy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 If we went with "sitcoms", then it would eliminate 70% of TV Comedies out there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people might overlook that show but for a select few we know that Seth Rogen got his start dating a half man/woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Wow, TV Comedy winning in a landslide. I'm glad b/c Hottest Chick has been done a few times before, and while a great category, I'm glad we picked something fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Looks like it's TV Comedies! I'd love to have those 25 voters who voted for Comedies to send me a list of their 20 favorite comedy TV shows since the DAWN OF TV!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 So, I'm not sure it's exhaustive, but the Wikipedias have a page that consists of nothing but a list of "TV Comedies" and the years they ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Tougher then I thought. I made a quick list and had about forty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 This is going to be nearly impossible, since I never watched shows like Cheers or MASH due to my age, yet know they should be included in this sort of list. I just have no idea where to put them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Is the White House Daily Press Briefing considered a comedy series? If so, it should be way up on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have no idea where to put them. Funny thing is I'm only 25 and I grew up on those shows. My mom would watch the reruns on Fox, I believe, at night before bed when I was very little, and I would watch with her. I called it "the helicopter show" when I was 3 or 4 because of the opening credits. Those two will probably be in my top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have no idea where to put them. As I've been working on my list I realized a similar situation. I appreciate , for example, The Simpsons and South Parks position in TV comedies, but never really liked them too much, not enough to make my top 20. I'm listing my top 20 favorites, I'm not trying to offer some critical approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm listing my top 20 favorites, I'm not trying to offer some critical approach. I did a mixture. My tops were my favorites, and then I had to include some that I have to admit were revolutionary or just downright unstoppable. I've seen episodes of all that I included though.

FlaSoxxJim Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 What about troupe sketch comedy (SNL, MAD TV, Fridays, Kids in the Hall) and/or anthology comedy (Monty Python, Benny Hill, Dave Allen, etc.)?? As far as cultural significance SNL has to be way up there, even if it sucked ass for extended periods during its long history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the list is funniest and not greatest comedies, I'm putting shows that made me laugh. Also, it isn't just sitcoms, so I'm putting in shows like Conan, MST3K, and probably Monty Python.

Texsox Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I went with :30 sitcoms and keeping it to 20 was tough. Shows like Simpsons, Happy Days, Coach, WKRP, Jeffersons, Dick Van Dyke, Soap, did not make my Top 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
