Zxm you have no taste in whats funny, friend is far better than seinfeld and guess what, IT IS ON TOP WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT SO SHUT UP

They had a reunion a few years ago I thought.

I wish they come up with a reunion

Please return with a reunion...

2 Seinfeld Four single friends -- comic Jerry Seinfeld, bungling George Costanza, frustrated working gal Elaine Benes and eccentric neighbor Cosmo Kramer -- deal with the absurdities of everyday life in New York City.

All four of these characters are hilarious. Friends only has 4 (Monica and Phoebe are not funny)

The best characters and storylines. I can relate to seinfeld

Jason is the best character in the history of sitcoms.

3 The Office The Office is an American television comedy series that aired on NBC from March 24, 2005 to May 16, 2013.

Good job Seth MacFarlane

If I counted how many time I laughed while watching this show it will be a few thousand times... even thinking about sheldon or howard makes me laugh a little... but seriously #11? that's nowhere near what its true rating must be... in my opinion it must be #1 but I'm not gonna challenge it because people like what they like... and by the way FRIENDS is #2 for me... again my opinion

! It's actually spooky how a show can make you laugh so hard! Beats Friends anyday. Should be #1! (by the way I laughed more in the titanic film than in How I Met Your Mother- I laughed once)

The big bang theory should be #1 I mean what TVs show can top rock, paper, sissors, lizards, spock

14 Blackadder Blackadder is a series of four BBC1 pseudohistorical British sitcoms, plus several one-off instalments, which originally aired in the 1980s.
