- CreatorLarry DavidJerry SeinfeldStarsJerry SeinfeldJulia Louis-DreyfusMichael RichardsThe continuing misadventures of neurotic New York City stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his equally neurotic New York City friends.I watch this show nearly every night and even after all these years I never tire of it. If there's a more effortlessly watchable show, I've never heard of it.
- CreatorAndy BorowitzSusan BorowitzStarsWill SmithJames AveryAlfonso RibeiroA streetwise, poor young man from Philadelphia is sent by his mother to live with his aunt, uncle and cousins in their Bel-Air mansion.Hilarious, sentimental, and deep, I remain deeply impressed with this show for tackling some very serious issues.
- CreatorRoseanne BarrMatt WilliamsStarsRoseanne BarrJohn GoodmanLaurie MetcalfA revival of the popular 1990s sitcom "Roseanne," which centered on the everyday life of an American working-class family.Often more drama than comedy, but Roseanne was a well-crafted show in too many avenues than can be counted.
- CreatorDan SchneiderStarsVictoria JusticeLeon Thomas IIIMatt BennettAspiring singer Tori Vega navigates life while attending a performing arts high school called Hollywood Arts.An impeccable ensemble cast and a solid original soundtrack imbue this hilarious sitcom with an extra special strength, but its greatest feature is the insane jokes.
- CreatorCarol BlackNeal MarlensDavid S. RosenthalStarsEllen DeGeneresDavid Anthony HigginsJoely FisherEllen Morgan is a neurotic bookstore owner who deals with life through comedy and extensive rambling.Ellen's self-deprecating and punny humor is timeless. And the show got even better when she (and her character) came out.
- CreatorKevin KopelowHeath SeifertStarsRoss LynchLaura MaranoRaini RodriguezFollowing the lives of confident aspiring musician Austin, quiet talented songwriter Ally, and their two friends.Just when I thought singing kids shows had been played out, this little gem proved me wrong. I love how awkward Ally is and this show always gives me some chuckles.
- CreatorDan SchneiderStarsMiranda CosgroveJerry TrainorJennette McCurdyCarly hosts her own home-grown web show, iCarly, Carly and sidekick Sam's regular webcasts ultimately feature everything from comedy sketches and talent contests to interviews, recipes, and problem-solving.Unprecedentedly funny, impractically well-written, and even with a touch of absurd irreverence, iCarly is the best of its ilk.
- CreatorGary JanettiMark RavenhillStarsDerek JacobiIan McKellenFrances de la TourFreddie Thornhill (Sir Ian McKellen) and Stuart Bixby (Sir Derek Jacobi) are an old gay couple who have been together for nearly fifty years. Their lives now revolve around entertaining their frequent guests and hurling insults at each other at every opportunity.I'd watch anything with Ian McKellen in it, but the humor in Vicious remains biting and uproarious enough to justify the commitment of such an astounding actor.
- CreatorMark BrazillBonnie TurnerTerry TurnerStarsTopher GraceLaura PreponMila KunisA comedy revolving around a group of teenage friends, their mishaps, and their coming of age, set in 1970s Wisconsin.A solid story and lovable characters. And what a set of alumni... several of today's biggest stars got their start here.
- CreatorKen LipmanTommy LynchStarsLarisa OleynikMeredith BishopDarris LoveAlexandra "Alex" Mack develops powerful abilities after a chemical factory accident. She struggles to balance her ordinary life with extraordinary misadventures as a result.Eh, it doesn't hold up THAT well but I gotta love it for nostalgia alone. Long before Alex Russo was levitating objects on Wizards of Waverly Place, Alex Mack was the original wiz kid on the block.
