Watch the lads behind Bilko trying to not bust their ass laughing. Silvers ad-libbing was always brilliant and this is no different. Classic!
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
Ridiculously few mentions for Peep Show here
Everybody, Go Watch!!!
In no particular order
Blackadder
Porridge
Only Fools
Fawlty Towers

Rising damp must be in there although it is ITV which is a barren wasteland for comedies - actually ITV is an barren wasteland for anything remotely funny/interesting
I can't stand that show at all. I have a big problem with Mithcell & Webb. Their sketchshow on Channel 4 was absolutely terrible.

Was just about to post that up myself - "Just a minute, sir. I think he's calling for another lawyer!"
SIGNATURESCOPE
Curb - The Grand Opening (don't watch or rather listen to if easily offended)
If you are allowing cartoons i'd have to add South Park.
Possibly my favourite tv moment of recent years. The Mommy mommy line never fails to bring a smile.
Curb - The Doll

No accounting for taste I suppose
Not really a big Webb and Mitchell fan , but thisalways cracked me up
I recently bought every episode of Bilko ever made. It spans 18 discs and you can get them on ebay. Quality stuff.
Anyone else like King of Queens?
Buy, rent, borrow or steal a box set. It's a gem.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Only the bits with Frank Costanza - don't care for the actual show.
SIGNATURESCOPE
Jerry Stiller is the only good thing on King of Queens, but he makes the whole show worth watching.
Gustavo I just get a big white square but I'm hoping that's the German with the crisis of confidence sketch. "Are we the baddies?" Pure Quality!
1. The Larry Sanders Show

7. Father Ted
8. Pheonix Nights
9. The Mighty Boosh
10. Seinfeld
Of course cartoons don't count. Even though the Simpsons is the best TV show ever made, it's not a sitcom.
Of course the Boosh is a sitcom. What do you call being marooned on a desert island and having to make a 'special friend' from a coconut on a stick if not a situation?

Meh. It's just another style as far as I'm concerned. You might as well say that Bilko doesn't count because it's in black and white.
Only 3 of your list (Porridge, and to a lesser extent Seinfeld and Father Ted) follow the traditional sitcom-convention of multi-camera, studio-based setup with a 'laugh track' but it doesn't mean the rest don't count, does it.

Good point, well made.Only 3 of your list (Porridge, and to a lesser extent Seinfeld and Father Ted) follow the traditional sitcom-convention of multi-camera, studio-based setup with a 'laugh track' but it doesn't mean the rest don't count, does it.
But, if you look really closely, with a magnifying glass, you'll see the words 'live actors' written around the inside of the 'O' in sitcom.

Saw that on the TV and immediately thought of thisNot really a big Webb and Mitchell fan , but thisalways cracked me up

I'm surprised noone has mentioned The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy. The originals and the best.

Very few recent ones. Curb and Arrested definitely the best american ones, with some Cheers. Am I the first to ref League of Gentlemen?
Who dares to speak of 98?
He's Ben Stiller's da or something isn't he?
It can be worth watching for him alone.
