10 Best Comedies on TV

1. Curb your Enthusiam—Is there a more comedic genius than Larry David? Outside of Woody Allen, I don’t think so and it shows. Much of the show's dialogue is improvised and it all seems to work really well while maintaining its fluidity over the last 8 years.

2. Louie—FX just is not to be underrated as a purveyor of original programming. Louis CK has created a grittier, raunchier way more hysterical version of Seinfeld. Each episode is in it’s own container and there is no continuity, but not many folks care. However, It is the sole reason why this show doesn’t occupy the #1 spot, because for pure belly laughs, nothing on this list is even close.

3. Weeds—Weeds is wonderful stuff. Nancy Botwin is the role model for post modern liberal mothers everywhere, she kicks ass, take names and uses her sexuality to her own ends. Not nearly the funniest show on this list, but one of the best.

4. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia—A big time hit or miss show, but when it hits, it’s usually with the force of a class 4 hurricane.

5. The League—Fantasy football fans love it, but others would too if given a chance. It's rauncier than some may like and sometimes to clever for it's own good, but still not to be missed. On a side note:The funniest character on the show by far is Rafie, who’ unfortunately, only guest stars occasionally.

6 American Dad/Family Guy—Seth Mcfarlane has created two extraordianrily funny shows. They are a lot alike, but both provide a pile of belly laughs, American Dad seems to continue to get stronger and stronger

7. The Simpsons--There is a reason it’s been on for 20 years and nearly 500 episodes. Although not as topical as it once was, it is still The Simpson

8. Bored to Death--Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson take this show to the next level. There may not be a better written comedy on TV..Jonathan Ames… A failing wirter turned unlicsended private eye and his various adventured. Alas HBO cancellled this one

9. Eastbound and Down--Danny McBride is a washed up disillusioned baseball player who you either you love or hate.Personally, I find any show that portrays a teacher doing lines in a middle school cafeteria is going to hit me in the funny bone.

10. Wilfred—This BBC adapation is taken to the sublime by Elijah Woods
