• My co-workers were talking about various TV comedies during lunch and they were surprised that I didn’t find Seinfeld funny.  I mean really.  It’s a show about nothing. Nothing funny.  See.  Not funny at all.  Unfortunately, I don’t think I could come up with a numeric list so here’s a list of five shows that I found extremely funny.

  • Arrested Development – Critically acclaimed, hilarious, smart and canceled prematurely.
  • Coupling (BBC) – The US tried to copy this very hilarious British show but failed terribly.  Do yourself a favor and watch the BBC version.  Just make sure your parents aren’t in the room. 
  • Futurama – Another show that got canceled prematurely because they stuck it at a 7pm time slot so the show would always get preempted by a football game.  Though very similar to The Simpsons, I actually find Futurama having more cultural references and less stupid antics.  Plus Bender says all the stuff that I wish I could say but know I shouldn’t.  Tell it like it is baby.  Tell it like it is.  (Plus it’s coming back to TV!!!)
  • Family Guy – Just plain wrong and funny. 
  • Spaced - Another BBC show that’s just wacky and funny.

  Huh.  Looks like all the US shows that I’ve liked have gotten canceled at one point.
