I don't like any of them. I did watched the Big Bang Theory when Summer Glau made a guest appearance.

I used to love Family Guy then I don't know I just sort of grew out of it.

Family Guy

Family guy takes it easily

i hadn't watched family guy in ages but then watched the 'family something, something, something darkside guy' and kept giggling

Of those options, Family Guy, although my real favourite is How I Met Your Mother.

This is by far the best non-available option.

How I Met Your Mother should be on that list. That's my favorite comedy. The Big Bang Theory is 2nd

Barney Stinson is awesome

I feel so sorry for you guys- here in the UK we have fab stuff like Mock The Week, Live at the Apollo and have I got News for You, I also get the shows you mention above and they do not make me laugh, they don't seem funny at all, just bland and nothing that even raises a smile. I love what we have here- do any of you get any British shows?- or I should ask, do any of you 'get' the British sense of humour!

British humour is awesome! Black Adder, Monty Python, etc.. Oh and "No Heroics" I think that's British.. have you seen it?

But those are panel shows and stand-up comedy, we don't do many sit-com or animated stuff that's funny anymore. The US do tend to take anything British that's any good, they have The Office, which they've adapted to US culture but is still pretty funny and they have 'Little Britain' as well.

Of those listed above The Big Bang Theory is my favourite as Friends is mildly funny but too obvious (maybe because they stretched the series out for 8 years too long and each character only has one joke), Family Guy is so desperate to shock that they forgot to be funny (see South Park for how you can shock and be funny) and American Dad is just Family Guy with the names changed.

You need Beavis & Butthead back!!!

What about Seinfeld!? That is situational comedy at its best. Such an awkward show, haha.
