The sitcom is dead.

I like Everybody Loves Raymond, but I don't watch it very often. I'm more of a movie person, tho, so I don't watch many sitcoms. Cartoons on the other hand.... *is quiet*

I really, really, really can't stand most. They're so bad. So terrible. So unfunny. Especially American ones. The jokes are so predictable. The jokes are all the same. Things like Blackadder are alright, but most anything else... oh they make me cry.

I've got to agree with Toefur here. I have watched Raymond and That 70s Show and laughed at them on occasion, though. They certainly have their moments of random hilarity. I do, however, very much enjoy (if these count?): The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The Simpsons, Futurama, and Family Guy could pass as sit-coms, but probably not ATHF. Still, I laugh my pants off whenever I watch that show. Man... sometimes Meatwad just says stuff that makes you go "wtf" and burst into laughter.

I'm more into drama or non-fictional shows. I have never missed an episode of CSI (Las Vegas; I hate Miami and I've only recently started to watch NY). I regularly watch Court TV's variety of true-to-life forensics/criminology/law shows. Lately, I've also been watching Adult Swim on Cartoon Network pretty religiously (Hagaren's english dubbing is actually damn impressive, yay!). I find that I like their current lineup, except for Dragonball GT which is a major pimple on the ass of the Dragonball franchise. But hey, nothing is perfect. :P

Other than that, I can't think of anything else that I would go out of my way to turn the tele on for. Aside from the animated ones, I've yet to find a sitcom that keeps me watching. (It just occured to me that I've been watching The Simpsons for almost twenty years! Holy crap I feel old!)

Well, I like "Everbody loves Raymond" and "Seinfeld" but I'm more of a Simpsons kind of person. I'm not sure if tthe Simpsons count, but still...I've been watching them my whole life....

There's something I didn't consider, The Simpsons. I think it is classed as a Sitcom, despite the fact that it's a cartoon. I think the Simpsons was good until the 8th season, the last 8 or 9 years have been just as terrible, and at times worse, than most other sitcoms.

Seinfeld, Family Guy Simpsons, King of the Hill. The four main foods in the sitcom pyramid

I like the old fashioned ones, like 'To the Manor Born' and The Good life.
although Some Mothers Do Ave 'Em has to be my favourite one of all...

It's all about the Seinman here! I can say with complete certainty that there will never be a better sitcom than Seinfeld (though if you can count cartoons too, then who knows if one could beat him). With real live people, I am sure no one will ever do something better than what they have acheived with Seinfeld.

As for other sitcoms I like: Scrubs (really great and smart show), Arrested Development (only one season and a half old, but truly hilarious).

Sitcoms I hate: Raymond, King of Queens and a million more

Cartoons I hate: King of the Hill....what was Mike Judge thinking when he left Beavis and Butthead to do KOTH?

I like Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond. After I saw all of That 70's Show it got old. I still watched the "new" episodes of them though. They all are reruns so I don't watch them anymore.

In reality it's Summerland and Adult Swim for my TV. Besides that I like to watch stand-up on Comedy Central once in a while for that needed humor.

The funniest sitcom there is... if it counts, must be "Whose line is it anyway?"
Without that im more of a Scrubs fan

Cartoons: "God, The Devil and Bob" "Simpsons" "Futurama" "Duckman" "South Park" "Family Guy" (the list goes on and on and on-lol)

Check out the clips for Duckman:- :D

I have to admit that I tend to go for the sitcoms.. i love friends.. and i like Everybody Loves Raymund, and other random ones.

But what I really like I don't think is a sitcom.. I LOVE Law and Order and CSI.. those are awesome.. and I love Charmed.. not sure if that's a sitcom or not.

And you can't forget the Simpsons.. I'd consider them a cartoon though.. and South Park..
