Flight of the Conchords isn't American.

 

[galv]

Entourage is pretty decent but isn't a true sit-com, although the sit-coms I would have recommended have already been mentioned/you've watched.

 

[Htown]

Mystery Science Theater 3000

There's some real good official MST3K episodes on Youtube.

 

[Ikuu]

Veep is such a disappointment compared to The Thick Of It.

 

[DrForester]

Three older sitcoms to watch.


Roseanne - While it took a massive dive in the later seasons, the first five seasons are incredible, with some of the smartest writing any sitcom has ever seen.


Married with Children - Amazingly funny, and rarely missed. While it lost some of it's step in later seasons, it never took a massive dive.


King of the Hill - One of the best animated sitcoms ever, beaten only by seasons 1-8 of the Simpsons. Unlike the Simpsons, King of the Hill remained very consistent in it's quality from beginning to end.

Flight of the Conchords isn't American.

The band isn't, but the HBO show the band stars in is.

 

[Bessy67]

Does Psych count as a sitcom? If it does, then that.

 

[gutter_trash]

Seinfeld

Curb Your Enthusiasm

 

[Tenebrous]

Seinfeld

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Both in the OP as programs I love, especially Curb.

 

[Jeffolation]

Review with Forrest MacNeil. For current american comedies I think I like it more than Veep at this point.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

The people recommending It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia are right, but they're underselling it a bit. It's not Seinfeld but with selfish, rude people. Seinfeld has selfish, rude people. The cast of Sunny are more than that. They're not rude and selfish, they're sociopaths. There's an episode about hunting people and eating human meat, for god sakes.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Workaholics (first season dunno after that)
The league (even better if youre familiar with fantasy)

 

[FriedConsole]

Three's Company - Guy has to pretend he is gay to live with two chicks.

Giligans's Island - Crazy characters try to get off an island.

I Dream of Jeanne - Astronaut lands on an island and discovers a hot chick in a bottle that does magic.

Bewitched - Hot witch chick marries non witch. Does magic by twitching nose. Husband mysteriously changes faces after season 3.

What's Happening - Boring crap but that Rerun guy with a beret does a kick ass dance.

Mr. Ed - Dude this fucking horse talks and plays baseball.

Flight of the Conchords isn't American.

Yes it is
Made by an American production company (HBO), aired on American television, takes place in the USA (NYC).

 

[Matt_]

Modern Family
Happy Endings (dont get too attached)
Parks And Recreation (first season is a bit like the office but it changes into its own thing after)
Veep
Archer
Bobs Burgers (I didn't enjoy the first season but I'm on the second now and its hilarious)
Golden Girls is the GOAT

This thread has got me to check out Always Sunny though

Golden Girls is great. It's enjoyable even at its weakest, and weak moments are few. Special mention to the episode where they get robbed:

If you have thick skin, "All in the family" is my all time favorite show. I love Archie Bunker. The Jeffersons was also really good. I wouldn't consider it so much a comedy, but Good Times is also fantastic.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

When I was younger I always dismissed American sitcoms. Boy, how stupid I was. Although in my defence I was only privy to Friends and crappy kids shows like Fresh Prince and City Guys.

Some of my favourite comedy shows are American.

Arrested Development
Seinfeld
Cheers
Frasier
Archer
30 Rock
Parks and Rec
It's Always Sunny
The Mary Tyler Moore Show (really)
The first couple of series of Modern Family are excellent. Took quite a nose dive in quality after and I eventually gave up on it.
Louie
The Life and Times of Tim
Flight of the Conchords
Veep

I'm sure there are loads more that I can't recall right now.

Yup. The people in Sunny are genuine sociopaths and it's awesome. Best show on TV. Crazy it's going on to season 11 and is still so consistently hilarious. Season 10 had some of my favourite episodes.
Watch Sunny, OP.

I recommend 3rd Rock from the Sun. Unfortunately a bit forgotten in a sea of 90's sitcoms, but it's actually one of my favorite shows.

Yeah as far as standard 90s-style sitcoms go 3rs Rock (not to be confused with 30 Rock) was an absolute gem. Still one of my favorites.
