Funniest tv show
Doesn't have to be your favorite, but which tv show is, in your opinion, the funniest of all time?
For me, it has to be The Golden Girls. Excellent writing and performed to perfection by four extremely talented and funny actresses. Again, it's not my favorite show (it's high on the list) but nothing has made me laugh over the years like this show.
What about you?
-
In America; Seinfeld and The Simpsons. The Family Guy has also been consistently funny. And I would give props to The Office. Cleverest show is The Venture Bros.
But the funniest show of all time, bar none, is Monty Python's Flying Circus.
-
20th century Simpsons.
Thirty seconds without a laugh was very unusual.
My favorite comedy of all time is WKRP in Cincinnati, though.

What is with the The Golden Girls thing? Is it just because of Deadpool? Because I really don't remember it being mentioned much before nothing against anyone who likes it I'm just wondering what made it popular again.

I get the difference between one's favorite sitcom vs. one's vote for the funniest.
[B]All in the Family[/B] will likely always be my favorite sitcom with [B]Soap [/B]also very high up there, but while those were both hilarious, I also like them because of the characters, relationships, and stories.
But as far as funniest TV show -- just pure stick-the-landing joke machines -- I'd also go with [B]The Golden Girls[/B] as well as [B]Will and Grace[/B]. I can't say their stories were as memorable or affecting as the above two mentioned, but both GG & W&G excelled in uproarious racy dialogue, which I happen to like.

Reruns are on pretty frequently, so its not like it ever went away or anything. And I've been watching it on and off since the mid-2000s.

I've been watching scenes from the Big Bang Theory on youtube and it seems very funny but I suspect it's one of those shows that seems hilarious in short clips but would wear thin for me at a half hour every week.
When I was a kid, I found the Honeymooners and the Honeymooners segments on the Jackie Gleason show so funny breathing was becoming a problem but the culture has changed so much that a lot of what made it funny would be lost on an audience now.
The Jeffersons would be another great choice. The Golden Girls is definitely a great choice.
Another would be the Carol Burnett show, especially when Tim Conway became a regular.

The main reason Carol Burnett, Vicky Lawrence and Dick Van Dyke were cracking up in their skits was because the stuff Tim Conway was saying wasn't in the script at all. The skit wasn't working and he would just start ad-libbing, saying things you weren't even supposed to be able to say on television at the time.
I'll go with the Carol Burnett show with the caveat that it's only after Conway became a regular.
I would maybe go with the Honeymooners as my favorite but even that is B.S. because things that are really funny just get ruined by trying to nitpick what was a little funnier than what.

For me, it was always classics like Cheers or Night court. Even Benson was great.
-
For me, it is usually The Simpsons
-
simpsons' prime era is the top tier i think
also seinfeld and the larry sanders show rank decently

[center]Awesome! Since animation is allowed, these would be my choices...

For me, I watched it when it originally aired.
As for it's renewed popularity, it probably has to do with it's popularity among lbgt crowd. Whenever I see a tribute to GG these days, the focus seems to be on how they had shows dedicated to lbgt (although the show also had a lot of jokes at their expense).
Also, Betty White's renewed popularity exploded a few years ago. Who knows? I'm just glad it's still appreciated for being so funny after all these years. It's timeless.

Taxi also had some LOL moments, usually involving Jim.
