    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.

      Fawlty towers definitely, I haven't watched it in years, but I remember it being laugh out loud funny at the time. Never heard of Kath and Kim, have to check it out

        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.

          > > Never heard of Kath and Kim, have to check it out > Wouldn't bother. Stick with what you know; Fawlty Towers is 17 million times better than Kath and Kim. Shame there is so little good programming here in NZ... almost worth getting Sky for the UK channel... Cheers, Jon

            Arrested Development is very funny, but Curb Your Enthusiasm is my personal favorite right now. My wife and I always double over in laughter when we watch this. 'til next we type... HAVE FUN!! -- Jesse

              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.

                                        Ab Fab is great, We are up to the episode where the daughter will give birth. What gets me is that 25 yrs ago, I use to think of Joanna Lumely as being so HOT. I even watched Coro for a while as shee was in some episodes. Ab Fab shows she does have talent. Regardz Colin J Davies

                                          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.

                                          Ever seen The league of gentlemen[^]? Damn good (if you like sketches about autoerotic asphyxiation), best thing on telly since brasseye[^]. Southpark seems to be as good as ever, and I liked Fraiser before Niles and Daphne got together. Ryan
