Every life needs some levity, Lux. Sometimes there's nothing better than laughing like a fool at some absolutely ridiculous sitcom.
It's good for the soul. (And don't use this opportunity to tell me you don't have a soul -- I know better. )

Mentioning Basil Fawlty, reminded me of three of my other favorite sitcom characters... Mrs. Slocombe, Hyacinth Bucket ("it's BOUQUET"), and D.I. Derek Grim ('Thin Blue Line').

I tend to hate sitcoms. The only comedies on TV I regularly watch are Arrested Development and Scrubs, which I don't generally put in that category. Historically, I hate...um, pretty much all sitcoms. HATE Everybody Loves Raymond and that ilk, HATE Seinfeld, am COMPLETELY ambivalent towards Friends, etc. So, oddly enough, I'm with you Lux. I tend to get icked out over canned laugh tracks and watered-down humor.

I used to love Will & Grace, but rarely watch it anymore. Funny, though, my EX-best friend (gay) and I used to just happen to catch it all the time when we were watching TV together. I do miss it though

There are some sitcoms that I absolutely despise... many other I can at least tolerate for a couple of laughs. Others I absolutely ADORE and can't get enough of.

'Scrubs' is definitely in the latter category, and I can't wait for the (so far unscheduled) DVD releases.

But I also like 'Raymond' (most of the time) and loved 'Friends.'
'Seinfeld' is a show I had pretty much lost interest in by the time it was cancelled (ironically, I was the first person in my circle of friends to watch it... back when it was called 'The Seinfeld Chronicles'... and I had told everyone else about it).

Life can be such a bitch sometimes, that I just want to watch something goofy and have a laugh.

Zach Braff said in his blog this summer that the DVDs would be coming out once the show hits syndication, after this season or next? I dunno. I came in on it only in the last year or so, and there's a lot I want to catch up on and see. Including the episodes with Scott Foley, who is one of my fantasy boyfriends. (along with you, Stewy )

Omigaw! yes! and everything Jan Hooks ever did!

Besides the much-missed occasional ER, the only shows I watch anymore are Nip/Tuck, The Dead Zone, X-Files, 24...and uhh....I hate to admit it, but Battle of The Sexes! Although I vehemently despise reality TV shows...
