I wouldn't call Venture Brothers a sitcom, but it gets my vote anyway.

Clarification: I think when I started this thread last night I meant to ask "what sitcom world would you want to spend some time in?" and not simply what shows do you like... maybe why you'd want to spend time there too~

"Three's Company", of course. Hands down. Think about it...
You get to run around pretending to be gay so the Ropers or Barney Fife won't evict you (all the while, safely ogling your roomies at your leisure). You get to arrange three dates at once and use the various apartments to stage them (go, Jack, go!). And, most importantly, there's always the chance that Janet and Current Blonde Roommate will stumble home from the Regal Beagle, a bit tipsy and feeling frisky and curious...and invite you to join them on the couch. Where the "kisses are hers and hers and his"...literally! And Kaitlin Olsen from "It's Always Sunny..." is so sexy on that show. The perfect blend of pretty, goofy, sexy and twisted. I dig her the most. |

Well NewsRadio IS my favorite American Sit-Com....it's krazappie! It would still be on the air if the dooznufusses at NBC would have put it with Seinfeld on Thursday night. We would be celebrating the end of 10 years of the goings on of WNYX!
My favorite sit-com would be Fawlty Towers with The Office coming in a distant second, the American version is very strong but this year will see if it can distinquish it from it's Britih cousin. "What's a Canadian farm boy to do?" |

I always enjoyed Fawlty Towers. It used to come on here locally on PBS on Saturday evenings, years ago. Haven't seen it in a long time, unfortunately. I was always sure John Cleese's head was going to explode in any given episode. He made me laugh so hard on that show, how he veered from screaming nutball to his staff, then would turn around and attempt to be so proper and upright with a guest, all smiles and flattery.

Fawlty Towers is not a sit-com I would want to live in! The chaos and angst... and (aside from a place in Eastborne) is the worst-run hotel in the country!

But it does have a view of the sea.
Over there. Between the land and the sky. I enjoy NewsRadio because I could watch Beth's ass all day long, Maura Tierney was just adorable and who wouldn't want to help Sir Bill of McNeal to buy a massage chair? The show was too hip for its own good... it didn't give a flying fig about the actual plotline, it was all stitched together just to see what would happen to the characters when you put them in different situations. Listening to the commentaries has been fun... finally found out where they got 'Gaziza' from... and other things~ |

And I'm sorry Wrao, but in what respect is it *NOT* a sit(uational) com(edy)?? They set up a situation (double-dating with supervillains) and comedy ensues. Brock is my copilot. |

They killed off main characters for god's sake, and *STILL* managed to slingshot it back around to what passes for normalcy! It's *brilliant*! Quote:

While News Radio is one of my all time favorites.
Trailer Park Boys IS the funniest show ever! Canadian show, check it out. You will not regret it. "lets go, smokes!" Different Strokes, for Different Folks. And So On and So On, and Skoobie Doobie Doobie. |

I have to say that it *would* be fun to hang out with Kramer for a day... wonder if Michael Richards is as much fun?

I heard on some radio show (Roe Conn?) that Michael Richards was recently doing some performance thing at the Improv in L.A., got heckled by some a-hole and completely wigged-out, launching into a huge F-bomb tirade, left the stage, insulted the crowd, etc.
This was a month or so ago. I tried to go online and find out more about it at the time, but couldn't. Haven't thought to look again... But yes...as Kramer, he'd be a blast. We'd go look at vintage clothes, hit a few golf balls, relax in his hot tub and wait for the Macanaw peaches to come back around. Come up with silly money-making ideas (involving Newman), date all sorts of women, mooch from Jerry's fridge, etc. It would be a hoot to hang with Kramer! I just thought it was telling that, on their own, they don't seem to have what it takes to "be funny". I suppose Jerry, being a comedian, is always going to have that covered. But I'm talking about the other three: how many failed sitcoms between Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Michael Richards have there been? 3-5, I'd bet. I think Julia is enjoying mild success with her current one, but George and Kramer can't seem to make a go of things... It was only when they were all four together, acting like complete amoral shitheads and self-centered jerks and talking about "nothing", that they struck true comedy gold. The ensemble was mightier than any one member, it seems... |

It's hard to get out of a role that you have been playing for a long time. The audience identifies you as that one character and cannot get that out their minds.
It always seems to happen. There are exceptions though (e.g. Ted Danson, etc). Deal with it. |
