The Sit-Com thread and other comedy series thread
 
Now it may or may not be common knowledge but I abhor British sit-coms / comedy series apart from the odd one like PLEBS or Friday Night Dinner .

Some of the ones I’ve been dipping into recently include

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Schitt's Creek

Schitts creek is my favourite American/Canadian Sitcom. Fr. Ted is my favourite Irish Sitcom.

Would you consider The Office or afterlife as sitcoms? If so those are my favourite of the British

2 doors down is a very funny current sit-com

Falling through the bar gap and the chandelier sketch were witty rather than humerus

Yeah, really not my cup of tea either.

Not sure if you'd class Resident Alien as a Sitcom either (probably not) but it's hilarious as well

I just feel that the yanks write funnier stuff , the acting is better .. better all round really

I guess they have a massive population though and logically they will have far more excellent writers / actors …
