Many to pick from, but right now loving the rewinds of Kevin James’ The King of Queens.
Yes, King of Queens is an underrated show. All the characters are good and the scripts are consistently funny. I, too, have been watching the reruns. Still, I'd have to say Seinfeld is my all-time favourite. As Mrs Seinfeld says, "How could anyone not like Jerry?"

During the first lockdown downloaded and re-watched the entire Seinfeld series. Hadn't watched it since it originally aired. Still as funny as I remembered it. Timeless!

Is anybody here old enough to remember Jackie Gleason's "The Honeymooners", "Bachelor Father", "Leave It To Beaver", "Father Knows Best", and "The Ozzie And Harriet Show" with Ricky Nelson?

On the list of the lowest rated comedies on IMDB: Joanie loves Chachi at 39% and My Mother the Car at 46%.

To this day there is one comedy I love above all, awesome lyrics to the theme song.

I can't get enough Barney Miller.
I think All in the Family and MASH changed sitcoms the way Bobby Orr is credited with changing the position of defenceman in hockey.
Best Canadian comedy show: SCTV

Yes Seinfeld is obviously the best.
MASH and The Office clearly up there.
WKPR too for us old guys.

But most laughs since then 😆
Some of "us old guys" liked Rowan and Martin and TW3. Hats off to CA, though, it didn't get any better than SCTV...

With a shout out to Seinfeld, when my SO says: "The problem isn't that you can't get an erection; the problem is that you can't hold an erection".

I remember all of them but Ozzie and Harriet. I was a big Sky King fan as a kid.

Loved the Honeymooners especially Art Carney who played Ed Norton. My favourite line when Gleason is giving Norton a golf lesson. Gleason " First you have to address the ball". Norton doing his normal wiggling and jiggling with an invisible club in his hand. "HELLO BALL".

Seinfeld
Curb
Cheers
South Park

Seinfeld pretty much ruined all future sitcoms for me. Except for Curb

Really should watch either version of The Office I suppose

I'll add a more recent show, Mom. The casting, the writing, the acting is all spot on.
