"upstairs, downstairs" was pretty cool, if not funny. And all the old Masterpiece theater classics. Alistair Cooke - but he was a naturalized American, wasnt he?

Oh, and JK Rowlings of course.

and Gilbert and Sullivan.

Oh, and all the market ladies in Caesar III. Not to mention Caesar.

And of course Id trade BushKerry for "the dear leader" in a New York minute.

Have you ever seen Only Fools And Horses? That is more like it, although I don't think I could chose which comedy is the funniest. Believe me, Seinfeld is not in the offing whatsoever

Seinfeld was good, but thats because it had a core of British type misanthropy to it.

Seinfeld is extremely funny, in fact one of my favourite sitcoms. As is Cheers. Talking about which comedic tradition is better is ridiculous, cultural differences and all that

Of course it is . It is better than Monty Python, Blackadder, Red Dwarf and all those other British comedies. It is also the class of American comedies, so unless there is a super funny Swedish comedy show, it wins!

I somewhat agree with Sava. Best American sitcom ever. Can't think of my favourite British sitcom.
