Comedy

One Foot in the Grave

Funniest British TV shows ever produced, ranked by worldwide comedy fans. British sitcoms - or &quot;Britcoms&quot; as they are sometimes called in the US - are known for their crisp dialogue, biting wit and sardonic look at modern life in the UK. Shows like The Office (which inspired the US series), Are You Being Served and Absolutely Fabulous present traditional settings and scenes, but populated by outlandish, even demented, eccentrics, some of whom have become among the nation&#39;s most iconic characters. (Both David Brent of The Office and Basil Fawlty of Fawlty Towers have been voted near the top of Ranker&#39;s &quot;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-funniest-tv-characters-of-all-time">Funniest TV Characters of All Time</a>&quot; list.)

Additionally, though US sitcoms tend to take one of a few reliable formats - a traditional three-camera set-up in front of a studio audience, say, or the &quot;mockumentary&quot; style of shows like The Office and Parks and Recreation - British sitcoms tend towards the more experimental and daring. Blackadder, for example, sets each new season in a different time period, with relations of the original two characters: Blackadder and Baldrick. Peep Show as well tells a rather familiar story about two wacky roommates, but through a unique POV perspective, with the actors performing largely in voice-over.

What are the best British comedy series? Numerous <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-british-comedy-tv-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">English comedy shows</a> on this list - as from the obvious The Office - have inspired American remakes, though the vast majority of these - such as the US versions of Fawlty Towers and Men Behaving Badly - have not met with similar success across the pond.

People who enjoy shows about heartwarming and relatable families could watch &quot;Modern Family,&quot; &quot;Malcolm in the Middle,&quot; and &quot;My Wife and Kids.&quot; If sitcoms filmed in front of live studio audiences were your thing, you could watch &quot;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/two-and-a-half-men-dark-behind-the-scenes-stories/zack-howe?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Two and a Half</a> Men&quot; or&quot; <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-everybody-loves-raymond-writers/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Everybody Loves Raymond</a>.&quot;&nbsp;If your taste in television leans more towards wacky characters and sidesplitting comedy, shows like &quot;The Office,&quot; &quot;30 Rock,&quot; &quot;Scrubs,&quot; and &quot;Arrested Development&quot; were perfect for you. Many sitcoms of the 2000s were also mixed with a bit of drama and edge, like &quot;Weeds&quot; and &quot;Extras.&quot; Some of the top sitcoms of the 2000s came from across the pond, with programs like &quot;Peep Show,&quot; &quot;The IT Crowd,&quot; and &quot;Flight of the Concords&quot; gaining popularity across the globe.&nbsp;What is your favorite sitcom from the 2000s?

90s TV

Step by Step

It’s hard to choose the best sitcoms of the ‘90s: so many quality theme songs, so many outlandish misunderstandings, and so many will-they-or-wont-they plotlines. Though Seinfeld dominated much of the era, the show actually began its run in the ‘80s, so for the purposes of this best-of list, we begin at the beginning: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Home Improvement, and Beavis and Butt-head are just a few of the greatest sitcoms to start the ‘90s.By the time Clinton was sworn into office, Blossom, Martin, and Mad About You were already must-see mainstays in 90s television. Building on the successes of ensemble comedies like Cheers and Night Court, other sitcoms of the 90s like&nbsp;Wings, Frasier and The Drew Carey Show boasted a core group of characters getting equal airtime and intersecting storylines.Then, there were the cultural phenomena. Friends took off like a pop-culture rocket, influencing music, fashion, hairstyles and vernacular. The long-running South Park launched on Comedy Central and neither animation nor celebrity spoofing would ever be the same. Cable broke new programming ground with Sex and the City, among other shows, setting a course for the ‘00s and teens, where subscription cable dominates the zeitgeist and awards shows.Some critics’ darlings, like NewsRadio, saw abbreviated runs, while worn-out premises, like The Nanny, exceeded expectations. Shows like Will &amp; Grace, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Living Single, and Step by Step reflected how the culture was redefining the traditional family. The funniest shows of the ‘90s entertained, but were also informed by the way we live today.Every popular 1990s sitcom should be included on this list, so if your favorite is missing for some reason, add it to this list.

1970s

What were the best sitcoms from the 1970s? Perhaps &quot;Mary Tyler Moore&quot; or &ldquo;Sanford and Sons&rdquo;? This list of the greatest &#39;70s television sitcoms has all the funniest shows from the decade.

Top hits from every genre, including comedy, drama, romance and thrillers were released during the 70&#39;s, but these popular sitcoms were some of the most entertaining shows on television at the time. The war drama/comedy &ldquo;M.A.S.H.&rdquo; regularly took the top spot in the television ratings, but hits like &ldquo;All in the Family&rdquo; and &ldquo;Happy Days&rdquo; were close behind. The top television sitcoms of the 70s closely followed the culture around it: the innocence of the 50s and 60s was reflected in old shows like &ldquo;The Brady Bunch&rdquo; and &ldquo;Three&rsquo;s Company&rdquo;, yet the face of an ever-changing American could be seen in shows like &ldquo;M.A.S.H.&rdquo;

Hits where family was the main subject were subtly being replaced with comedies like &ldquo;Hee Haw&rdquo; and &ldquo;The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/full-cast-of-the-sonny-and-cher-comedy-hour-cast-list-for-the-show-the-sonny-and-cher-comedy-hour/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour</a>.&rdquo; Whether it was &ldquo;Charlie&rsquo;s Angels&rdquo; that you remember the most, or the quirky &ldquo;Mork and Mindy,&rdquo; cast your vote for the best 70s sitcoms of all time below!

With so many great TV series currently airing, we gathered the best <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/funniest-tv-shows-ever?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comedy TV shows</a> since 2017.

Who's the Boss?

List of the best single woman sitcoms. The greatest television sitcoms starring freedom-loving females in the lead are all ranked here. The two booms of sitcoms about &quot;all the single ladies,&quot; to steal a Beyonce quote, occurred decades apart. 

The first took place in the summer of 1996 thanks to Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Clueless, Townies, and some other awesome shows that have been canceled. Nearly two decades later, mass audiences are watching the trials, tribulations, and hilarious dating misadventures of single girls and their friends on shows like New Girl, 2 Broke Girls, and The Mindy Project. If you are tired of watching shows about bachelors looking for love or lust, check out the bachelorettes on the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-tv-shows-of-recent-memory?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">TV shows</a> listed below. These are strong female leads -- meaning both the characters and the performances are top notch -- and, back in the day, revolutionized the feminist movement. But history aside, these hilarious sitcoms about single women on the prowl, or trying to avoid the prowl, will entertain men and women alike.

Sitcoms

The 2010s were a decade blessed (or, depending on how you look at it, cursed)&nbsp;with the rise of Peak TV and the dawning of some of the best sitcoms in TV history. Gone were the days of three channels with three hours of primetime slots and only a handful of shows to choose from - in its place was sitcom&nbsp;after sitcom mercilessly competing for viewing time and becoming more and more niche with each new episode.&nbsp;

Sure, some of the top 2010s sitcoms were broad sitcoms that attracted massive audiences - like The Big Bang Theory&nbsp;and&nbsp;Modern Family&nbsp;- but others - like&nbsp;Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt&nbsp;and&nbsp;Happy Endings&nbsp;-&nbsp;took advantage of cult audiences and streaming platforms to create something that only comes around once in a generation. The best 2010s sitcoms on this list are all unforgettable, but thanks to the sheer number of them, you&#39;ve probably forgotten at least some of these ever existed.&nbsp;

So let&#39;s flick through the channels, binge through this list, and revisit some of the funniest sitcoms of the 2010s.&nbsp;
