What TV shows (old or new) do you recommend other lovers of comedy check out? Purely the funniest shows, I mean, the gold, the good stuff, the funniest shows. I'm thinking Father Ted The Last Man On Earth
The Carol Burnett Show Carol and her cast were doing a sketch about playing password. But Carol didn't know that Tim Conway had his own ideas ... And who can forget the early years of Saturday Night Live?
One of the hottest shows around at the moment. If you haven't seen this show yet, look it up and watch, enjoyed by all lovers of comedy. Considered most edgy and cutting edge. Rick and Morty This show has funny characters and a wacky premise. What We Do In The Shadows
Hands down the best comedy series ever, was Taxi. My favorites are Latka's Nick Ferrari, alter-ego ones (which I think begin at episode 20 in season 3), but Reverend Jim 's character also had his share of gut-busting episodes. And Danny Devito's Louie character was priceless, as well. The second season, but none of the first season, of Search Party, was also hilariously funny. I had been very much enjoying the show you nominated, The Last Man On Earth, up until the main character, after being exiled by the group, re-finds them & wants back in, but they make him earn his way back. I guess I overly-identified with him, or at least was too partisan a supporter to watch anymore their mistreating him; I kept wanting him to tell the others to F-off. Here's something for those enjoy off-beat humor, that many may have missed. It was only a one-season deal; Big Time, In Hollywood, Florida.
Good one of theirs but you have to go pretty far back. SNL quit being funny when they decided it was more important to be woke than funny.
A good one, I concur. I used to like Soap, as well, but I don't know how well it would've aged, if I tried to watch it now; I was going to suggest The Kids In the Hall, which I thought was, minute-for-minute, funnier than SNL, but now I wonder if you can't go back again, with that one, either-- though it's possible I just have different tastes than the you-tubers that I saw. Like that other Loren Michael's show, it had good skits as well as disappointing ones. But they were : A) Shorter, so the bad ones didn't drag so much, and incorporated a lot of subtle bits of humor, so the skits were more fleshed-out than the one-gag routines on SNL which, even if the gag initially made you chuckle, could become interminable torture, just waiting to get to another long commercial break. I don't think being, "woke," had anything to do with that show's decline. I had to look through a bunch of, "eh," you tube videos, but here's one Kids skit that still makes me laugh. I also like the one w/ the old Scottish woman, bigoted against the I-ties (Italians); and the one about two couples, after dinner, in which Scott Thompson's character takes Dave's character's wife (Kevin) onto the dining room table & begins to make love to her in front of their two spouses, until Scott's wife says something to ruin it (which I won't give away, for those who haven't seen). And I remember there being one with natives, in a hut, that was a riot, as well.
