Arrested Development was definitely up there for me in the in-between years, but the terrible new seasons really soured my enjoyment of the original three.Arrested Development. Easily the best comedy written. Layers of jokes upon jokes and gets funnier with every watch.
Fawlty Towers and Seinfeld would round out my top 3.
Season 4 (the first after the re-boot) was good, but season 5 was very average.Arrested Development was definitely up there for me in the in-between years, but the terrible new seasons really soured my enjoyment of the original three.
Agree. One of the most under rated shows ever made. Bloke is a genius.Another one that would've been in my regular rewatches (but isn't for very different reasons) is Louie.
Yeah, season 4 had its moments, but it's still a massive step down from the first 3. I just don't understand how they got it so wrong when they came back. I know they had scheduling issues to work around, but it never quite worked.Season 4 (the first after the re-boot) was good, but season 5 was very average.
The first 3 seasons though were brilliant, top shelf for me.

Larry got too much for me after a while but up to season 8 pretty good!Inspired by the go-to movies thread.
What are your top tier, tried and true TV comedies? The ones you keep returning to over the years, and were there for you through the good times and the bad?
My top 5 is:
Seinfeld
Peep Show
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Brooklyn 99
Bojack Horseman
May have cooked Seinfeld for life sadly, with easily 10+ full watch throughs. The others still have a little bit of juice in them.
What makes your TV comedy hall of fame?
Fleabag is a good shout, I reckon I'll go back to it at some stage.

I like some older comedy, I watched some old Two Ronnie's skits and talk about laugh out loud
Fleabag is one of the best things I have ever seen. I been through it twice, take a bit of time and do it again.Fleabag is a good shout, I reckon I'll go back to it at some stage.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge.Fleabag is one of the best things I have ever seen. I been through it twice, take a bit of time and do it again.
The actress in it, wrote it all the 2x8-episode seasons and then decided that was all.
Hell I can't even remember her name, I will.
She is beautiful and hilarious she can write and crikey she can act, the whole show was a gem.
I was thinking she may go again, but I think it had got to where she had no more to say, and her affair with the Priest , I doubt if that was over. I 'd hope it saved her, I think it did.
So in Fleabag her character was breathtaking, and the supreme acting of all concerned , clever intelligent , her sister !!! wow , the way she intertwined the dreadful guilt she felt for her friend, in the Guinea Pig shop. Its a one off classic.
Then the getaway for men and women and the loans bloke, what a really brilliant bit of scripting and writing.
Struth I might watch it again!!!
Oh and the sneaky little looks at the camera (you and me) was genius too. I've seen it before she perfected it. The Priest twigged. The only one hah .
Well, I never knew that , I have to say Killing Eve I never saw, I will now. Thanks for that info.Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
