I never watch television, which have led to that I never watch random episodes of random series. So these are all the series I've watched the last five-six years. I didn't bother to rate them, but I made simple distinction between shows I think are good/great and shows I think are mediocre. I made a * behind shows I would give a perfect score though.

Lie to Me
You must be a really sad person. :| But I forgive you since you're from Norway.

Because I don't love them or because I like them even just a little bit? :P
If the former is the case: You probably won't appreciate cheap and unoriginal comedy that focuses on one liners and slapstick humor (this is my perception of sitcoms like tbbt, himym, taahm) once you've seen as much comedy as I have. True comedy magic depends a lot on innovation for me, like the outrageously unlikable (but hilarious) characters in sunny, the everyday awkward situation dialog like in curb, the political/society based discussions in peep show or the weed-related/stoned conversations in bored to death.
Don't go calling me sad just cause we have different tastes, my opinion is just as valid as yours. :P
-
How dare you put Black Books and A bit of Fry and Laurie on "somewhat enjoyed"? D: You should be ashamed of yourself.
-
Phineas and Ferb is a shitty kids show :| Please explain what you enjoy about it? I heard it was made by the creators of The Simpsons so I decided to check it out, but it's unbelievably simpleminded and immature. They air it on Disney Channel for godness sake.
-
I'm just being honest dude
Fry and laurie: some of the scenes were hilarious, others were annoying or dull
black books: bill bailey is a fucking comedy genius, I love his style. bernard can be pretty funny at times. fran is unfunny and a bad actor. mediocre writing. imo
Edit: DON'T FUCK WITH PHINEAS AND FERB, NOAH! seriously download it in english of course and watch a few episodes, it's original, entertaining and wacky. of course it has it's "kid show moments", but it also has tons of humor and references that no kid would get
-
Jam jam jam! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-7z_wJOEBw#noexternalembed-ws)
but it's soo funny. (at least the first season. I can agree that the others lack good ideas :P )

Because you don't love them. Who doesn't love HIMYM? D:
-
I explained it in my post above. For me it's predictable and cheap.

What does the Disney Channel have to do with anything? Nickelodeon (the home of every abysmal teen comedy ever made) was the home of Invader Zim - one of the best animated comedies of the last decade. Even the worst channels can occasionally have a shining light.
Also, keep in mind that a person's opinion can never be wrong simply because you don't share it. Someone, somewhere likes Lady Gaga - even though she's stupid.
-
You forgot My Name Is Earl and South Park in your list. :P
-
South Park is there. My Name Is Earl I only watched on TV back when I was younger, it can be pretty funny :)
-
Wow you enjoyed Lie to Me? I stopped watching after 3 episodes. :lol:
-
Phineas and Ferb is a shitty kids show :| Please explain what you enjoy about it?
Nebbdyret Perry!

Bas: It was alright, Tim Roth is cool anyway. The whole idea of the show was kinda weak to me though.
I'm not seeing any suggestions :(
-

So what? Dave the barbarian was also aired by Disney Channel, and that was seriously badass and probably the funniest animated stuff I've seen. Keep in mind that just because Disney airs loads of crap doesn't mean every fucking show on there is bad.
-
Still haven't watched the show, Simon, but this clip from your youtube channel cracks me up every time :P
Dave the Barbarian - Megaphone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d59J78yhwtg#ws)

M*A*S*H may be dated, but it's still one of the best sitcoms of all time. You've mentioned Black Books and Spaced - those are about the only two British comedies that really made me laugh.
Um...Home Movies is pretty good. I don't recall seeing that on your list, but if it is then disregard. There was a series on years ago called Doctor Doctor, but you might have a hard time digging that up. Again, it may be a little dated.

Thanks for the tips kaneda, I'll be sure to check them out.
If anyone knows about something really funny/good that's not on this list, I'll really appreciate a mention of it in this topic. :)
