Fawlty Towers. That's probably got a lot to do with it finishing after 12 episodes and not getting a chance to become crap.

Fawlty Towers
The Office
Phoenix Nights
Alan Partridge and
Dads Army

The Office and Extras, although they are almost unbearable for me at times.
Sopranos and Six Feet Under, although they are not exactly sitcoms, are they?
Friends? A few years ago it was my sitcom of choice.

The boy is right as much as it kills me to admit that.
Also great however are:
Peep Show
Phoenix Nights
Black Books
Father Ted
and I quite liked Nathan Barley and the IT crowd also. There's more I'm sure, it'll come to me.

Blackadder is way up there, but I agree with a number of already-posted suggestions!
Oh wait, don't forget Only Fools And Horses-and does The Simpsons count? Two of the best series ever.

Id forgotten about Father Ted, Peep Show and Curb. All great shows. But Sean, Everybody Loves Raymond? Thats about as funny as finding out you've got skin cancer.

Kind of defeats the object of "what is you favourite sit-com?" though, no?

That's why i said "sometimes". The only episode that i could watch over and over again is the one where Ray's mother makes the vagina sculpture. It doesn't always do it for me though.

Sitcom? How Dare YOU!. It's a serious drama with adult themes and Eddie Murphy saying "mothafucka" in an old mans voice.

My favourites are:
Seinfeld
Alan Partridge
Nathan Barley
Garth Marenghi's Dark Place
The Simpsons
Family Guy
South Park
Fawlty Towers
Only Fools And Horses
The Mighty Boosh
Cheers

I was just watching a marathon of Three's Company earlier. That's a great show. Come and knock on our door...
The Office is great, too. I don't really like the original one, but I've only seen it a few times.
Curb Your Enthusiasm? That counts, right?

I used to like Friends and although I still do it has become almost unwatchable for me due to the endless repeats on channel 4.
Black Books is probably my favourite. Just because each episode is as wacky as the last. Bernard Black is a great character!
I like Red Dwarf, Father Ted, South Park, The Office (the proper one), Phoenix Nights.
I also love Fawlty Towers but I'm glad there are only twelve episodes.

One Day At A Time?
With Eddie Van Halen's former wife Valerie Bertinelli?
My list:
Cheers...absolute all-time favorite. Classic.
MASH
Seinfeld
Are You Being Served...again classic. Never tire of the Mollie Sudgen and John Inman jokes.
Current shows: I love Scrubs...it bums me out that all this CSI and reality crap gets more Neilsen ratings (which is the only thing that keeps a show on the air).

You know I've never seen what was supposed to be funny about Only Fools and Horses. Everyone always spoons off about how it's the greatest sitcom ever but if you ask me, it's poorly scripted and acted.
'Rodney you plonker!'
Yeah, hilarious.

I don't think I saw anyone mention Arrested Development.. Wow. I'm really loving Lucky Louie right now if it gets the time it could become one of the greats. Spaced has been mentioned and is great. Trying to think of some others... How about Newsradio? Did anyone say Newsradio?

I used to watch sitcoms. What a waste of time. I could have been writing or recording songs. I can't say I hate television, but I kind of wish I could.
