    laugh out loud, loudly and uncontrollably, preferably with tears running down your cheek from laughing? For me it's Absolutely Fabulous hands down. Nothing else on TV is as funny, but "Arrested Development" and "The Office" are a close second. P.S. If you don't have a tv or you don't think anything is funny, start your own thread.

          I am so much removed from their target audience (Male, 36, semi-conservative etc) but I find it hysterically funny. Patsy has the absoulute best lines of any sidekick I can think of.

                    Seriously? Tears running down your cheeks laughing out loud, possibly rolling on the floor? Or just the funniest thing out of many things you watch, but not necessarily ROTFLYAO? (Admittedly I've only ever watched about 2 minutes of it once by accident as I avoid any medical related show like the plague.)

                        Yes! I did see CYE a couple of times, but then had trouble finding it as it was shuffled and then forgot about it. Very funny in similar ways to Arrested Development.

                            Woo Hoo , finally a show that I watch (South Park) after about 10 I've never heard about. I'm adding a vote for Frasier that is tasteful and hilarious at times. Nothing is foolproof for a sufficiently talented fool - Heard on CP

                                  Can't stand AbFab. Utterly painful. Like standing in amongst blind people playing racquetball. While drunk. Arrested Development rocks. Never seen "The Office", but have heard of it a lot... usually with globs of Dilbert and Office Space comparisons thrown in and debated hotly. Although both have been cancelled, re-runs of "The Family Guy" and "Futurama" both still make me laugh, as does "Seinfeld". Neither "Jerry Springer" nor "Reality" -style shows are funny. But both will send tears (bitter ones, born of depression and frustration) cascading down my face when i'm trapped in front of them, so i guess they sort of count. How do you move in a world of fog, That's always changing things? Makes me wish that i could be a dog, When i see the price that you pay.
