The Holy Grail of Greatest TV Show Comedies
Finally was bored enough to compile a list of comedies which I would rate at least 8.5+/10, or as I like to call them, worth your time. Some episodes might not be as good as shows span decades, but the ones that made the cut are based on how fresh their take is, the layers of humour, how irreverent it is and most importantly, how fascinating the characters turn out to be.
Maybe if one day I am as bored again, I will put them in order of precedence. After all, re-watchability sums all of the above pretty well
Since IMDB does not allow me to rate in 0.5s, here is the scale:
10: 10 (duh)
9: 9.5
8: 9
7: 8.5
<7 : not worth your time.
