Father Ted, Only Fools and Horses, Red Dwarf. Another one that I didn't watch at the time but enjoy it when I see it now is The Vicar of Dibley. It's on Living TV lately and I've found it enjoyable when I watch it.

Don't like putting order on these things so
- Simpsons (Of course it counts!)
- Seinfeld
- Arrested Development
- Phoenix Nights
- Curb Your Enthusiasm
- The Office (UK + US = 1 show for these purposes)
- Father Ted
- Larry Sanders Show
- Only Fools + Horses
- South Park (again IT COUNTS)/I'm Alan Partridge - couldn't decide...
Other notable mentions - Futurama, Cheers, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Black Books, One Foot in the Grave, Bottom.
Man, we're all very unoriginal aren't we - goes to show that some shows are just universally loved.
Here's a few great ones that haven't been mentioned
Going back a bit - Dad's Army, Steptoe & Son, Porridge, Police Squad!, that Andy Richter one
Here's the BBClist from a few years back:

Those crazy BBC people only putting in BBC comedies.
Indeed t'wood be a bit dull if we all agreed on everything, this place would be a morgue. I accept my hatred of Friends borders on the irational, moving the box set from the Comedy section to drama in HMV was the all time low.....
Check out Kath & Kim it's Australian but the bbc have picked it up, I find it very amusing, Black Books is Dylan Moran if you like his stand up stuff you'll like it otherwise I'd skip it personally I love it.
Think he was pointing out Vicar of Dibley being ahead of the likes of Porridge and Fawlty Towers

Fr. Ted was No. 11 in the voting - how convenient...
The Beeb's pride and joy, The Office, was a long way down the list surprisingly enough. People forget that it got far, far less viewers than BBC1 rubbish like that Ardal O'Hanlon superhero thing or My Family (as alluded to on Extras)
SIGNATURESCOPE
God, that was one of the biggest loads of drivel I've ever spent about two minutes watching! Load of knackers sitting around the telly farting. Didn't watch much more than that, to be honest...
No order again (although most have been mentioned by now) -
Blackadder
Father Ted
Red Dwarf (hugely underrated show)
Fawlty Towers
Mr Bean?
Up Pompeii is good craic
Don't see why The Simpsons and Family Guy aren't sit coms. The Simpsons is mentioned as an example numerous times in the Wikipedia article on sitcomes, for instance.
Not a big fan of American comedies as a general rule though.
Each to their own but I find it funny, especially the quips of the hen-pecked father (the actor died recently).
What about Rab C Nesbitt? I used to enjoy that as well when I could understand what he was saying.
Cheers I could watch without finding it hilarious.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Any of ye watching 'heroes' at the moment? Ive watched the series online and its a cracking show. Tipped to be the next big thing over here...
Sure it was a grand ole team to play for....Sure it was a grand ole team to know..
Hail Hail!!
Anyone ever used to watch Sgt.Bilko/The Phil Silvers show on BBC? Still quality comedy despite it being 50 years old
Brilliant stuff. One of the greats and still hilarious 50 years later.

I generally like non-mainstream comedy & eventhough I have Arrested Development a chance I could not stick with it.
With a few exceptions the US still produces the best sit-coms probably due to vast quality of shows the produce rather than anything else as theres a massive amount of rubbish out there too.
Only fools and horses
Fawlty Towers
Cheers
Frasier
The Office
Fox News
Gah! Knew I was forgetting something - take one of my top 10 out and stick the Phil Silvers show in instead.
SIGNATURESCOPE
Happy days watching Bilko with my Grandad as a little pup. Timeless indeed.
