british comedy tv vs american comedy tv
britain wins it for me easily...uve got only fools and horses, fawlty towers, mr bean, monty python, benny hill, men behaving badly, the office, little britain, bo selecta, porridge, steptoe and son, the royle family, blackadder.
america has the simpsons which i love and i think is genius and could knock most of the uk comedys to smitherines but uk has always produced the best comedy tv while america produce the best movies.
What about All in the Family, the Mary Tyler Moore Show, the Andy Griffith Show, the Dick Van Dyke Show, I Love Lucy, Seinfeld, Cheers, Frasier, South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, King of the Hill, Curb your Enthusiasm, Strangers with Candy, Mr. Show, Chappelle's Show, Insomniac and the Man Show? These are but a few of the really, consistently good American comedies.
Of the Britcoms you listed, I've only seen (and intensely enjoyed) Python, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, Mr. Bean and Benny Hill. I also like AbFab, the Young Ones and Yes, Prime Minister.
The Office is available on DVD here now...is it worth the investment? What is it comparable to?

You do have great taste though Monty Python, Mr. Bean, and The Office but y'know you'd have to see the British Conedies to Love 'em is what I'm guessing.
the office and mr bean is nothin compared to men behaving badly and only fools and horses which was voted best british sitcom eva which says a lot about the sitcom..the best episode is when they go to america and the main character del boy looks identical to a mafia boss who is set to go to prison foreva...the mafia family plan to kill del so it seems like the mafia boss is dead........its extremly funny and i think people from the states will love this sitcom

the american comedies u mentioned are not all that good and ive seen most of em....most americans say that there comedy is better without seeing all the comedys britain has to offer...
...the tom green show is the best...funniest guy in the world
does america have a show called men behaving badly???
No, I think they have some gay @$$ show called Women Behaving Badly on some women channell here.
lol yeh but i appreciate american humour and luv it...im british...i think friends, cheers, will and grace, especially scrubs i think are amazing, but i'll always love britain more...im very patriotic 😄. blackadder, coupling, mr bean, love actually (yeh sure its not tv but ya know!!), fawlty towers, peter kay. britain will always have better humour!
I like both.
Theres only a few Brit comedy tv shows I've actually got into, but I love them. The Office, Bo Selecta, Ali G and Fawlty Towers (that Basil guy is freakin psycho) are just as funny as Seinfeld, Spin City, Frasier and South Park 👆
But my two fave comedy shows are Scrubs and The Simpsons which are both American so......
