    What are your favorite Comedy TV series?

    My all-time favorite is Three's Company. There's something in it that was so 'matched' to my own life in those times that I would videotape the episodes and watch them countless of times till my tapes actually got worn out. Finally, after so much delaying, I finally ordered Seasons 4-8 on DVD and it arrived a few days ago. Amazingly my wife who was only 10 during its 1st Season loves it so much she is laughing even more than me each night when we watch. Don Knots aka Ralph Furley is the reason why I chose seasons 4-8, as he was the new landlord here. The Ropers were funny but RF was hilarious as a 60 year old ladies' man. All characters are funny as always. Aside from this, I liked The Cosby Show too but somehow I couldn't connect with TV comedies starting from the mid-90s.

    More of a drama fan than comedy, but if you want to get into the wayback machine, I think The Bob Newhart Show is pretty hard to beat. Either version, though the best...and maybe the best TV comedy episode ever, was the last episode of the 2nd Bob Newhart Show, when he woke up in bed with the wife from the first Bob Newhart show, and the entire 2nd series had been a dream.....just brilliant!

    I can't think of an all-time fave, but my current favourite is The Big Bang Theory.

    Current would probably be Modern Family. All time? Seinfeld and Married with Children are up there for me. If cartoons count, I never get tired of The Simpsons.

    Mary Tyler Moore show, the dynamics between the characters was a work of art.

    Honorable mention goes to the" Honeymooners "
