Top Ten Most Underrated Comedy Shows

The Top Ten
1 Fawlty Towers Fawlty Towers is a British television sitcom broadcast on BBC2 in 1975 and 1979. Just two series of six episodes each were made.

It only made two series. I think the BBC need to reconsider. If I had my way, it would run from then onwards.
Edit: Time is irrelevant, anonymous. This is of all time.

You guys saying they need to bring it back do know it ended decades ago right?

John clease really shines in this series and it will leave you with a pain in your stomach from laughing.
Mr. Fawlty "My god you're ugly"
Nurse "I'll go get the doctor"
Mr. Fawlty "You don't need a doctor you need a plastic surgeon dear."

This is the most awesome British comedy I have ever seen

2 Bleak Expectations

An almost unheard of BBC Radio Dickens Parody. Five series of pure comic genius! And the book's pretty funny too!

3 Red Dwarf Red Dwarf is a British science fiction comedy franchise which primarily consists of a television sitcom that aired on BBC Two between 1988 and 1999, and on Dave since 2009, gaining a cult following.

I'm really going to have to get round to watching this. That man from Corrie's in it. I think that's what's putting me off. I could be missing out on a very funny comedy because of it!

No, don't be put off by it. It is totally worth seeing.

My favourite Britcom, which is virtually forgotten these days.

Love this show! I love Lister!

4 Goodness Gracious Me

Hardly anyone remembers it. And it is utterly hilarious!

I heard of it before, and it sounds pretty funny!

5 The Good Life
6 Frasier Frasier is an American sitcom that was broadcast on NBC for 11 seasons, premiering on September 16, 1993, and concluding on May 13, 2004. The program was created and produced by David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee in association with Grammnet and Paramount Network Television.

Frasier's not really underrated. Its not famous like Seinfeld or Friends. But its not that much underrated. It won many prizes. Frasier's very good but the biggest problem with this show is this it repeated same themes for multiple episodes. Ham Radio was different. But the Ski Lodge and Matchmaker were pretty much same.

This show was equally as great as Seinfeld and Friends were, and deserve the same treatment. It won 37 Emmy awards and ran for 11 seasons, and yet, it is not even in the top 450 shows on the website's "best shows" list.

It was very popular, and I love it, but it's hardly spoken of these days. Why?!?!

I like this show because of Kelsey Grammar

7 The Young Ones

Absolutely hilarious. That's all I can say.

8 Father Ted

How can something so funny and so popular virtually disappear like this?!?!

Man, I love this show, genius comedy

Definitely the best thing to come from R.O Ireland. Very funny and VERY underrated.

9 Psych Psych is an American detective comedy-drama television series created by Steve Franks and broadcast on USA Network with syndicated reruns on ION Television.

Psych is stop funny. I love it. Or always makes my day. What are your even doing with your like without this show?!

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

As You Can Probably Tell, I'm A Massive Blackadder Fan

The Contenders
11 Arrested Development Arrested Development is an American television sitcom created by Mitchell Hurwitz, which originally aired on Fox for three seasons from November 2, 2003 to February 10, 2006, followed by a two-season revival on Netflix from May 26, 2013 to March 15, 2019. The show follows the Bluths, a formerly wealthy dysfunctional family. It is presented in a serialized format, incorporating handheld camera work, voice-over narration, archival photos, and historical footage. The show maintains numerous running gags and catchphrases. Ron Howard serves as both an executive producer and the omniscient narrator and, in later seasons, appears in the show portraying a fictionalized version of himself. Set in Newport ...read more.

So underrated people don't know what it is and don't vote for it

This show was amazing

12 Community Community is an American television sitcom created by Dan Harmon that aired on NBC and Yahoo! Screen from September 17, 2009 to June 2, 2015. The series follows an ensemble cast of characters played by Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Ken Jeong, Chevy Chase, and Jim Rash at a community college in the fictional town of Greendale, Colorado.
13 Brooklyn Nine-Nine Brooklyn Nine-Nine is an American police television sitcom that premiered on Fox on September 17, 2013. Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, the series revolves around Jake Peralta, an immature but talented NYPD detective in Brooklyn's 99th Precinct, who comes into conflict with his new commanding officer, the serious and stern Captain Raymond Holt.
14 Rocko's Modern Life Rocko's Modern Life is an American animated television series created by Joe Murray for Nickelodeon. The series centers on the surreal life of an anthropomorphic Australian-immigrant wallaby named Rocko as well as his friends: the gluttonous steer Heffer, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's faithful dog Spunky.

The show was good ESPECIALLY for the adult content, as it was one of the many reasons why the show was secretly massively appealing to all ages (as long as the audience was smart enough to really understand it).

The show was good except for the adult content.

15 Bob's Burgers Bob's Burgers is an American animated sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for The Fox Broadcasting Company. It premiered on January 9, 2011 and is still running as of 2022.

My favorite show! In my opinion, this is one of the best shows ever, if not the best! It is very underrated!

One of the funniest animated shows on now. Better than "Family Guy" or "The Simpsons."

Overrated, immature comedy.

16 Parks and Recreation Parks and Recreation, informally known as Parks and Rec, is an American political comedy television sitcom starring Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope, a perky, mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks Department of Pawnee, a fictional town in Indiana.
17 Flight of the Conchords

For me it's the best show of all times!

18 Porridge

I really rather love this; old Fletch. Very funny. I have the DVD collection. As the same with Fawlty Towers. Brilliant!

19 Studio C

They are Amazing

20 The I.T. Crowd

I recently checked it on netflix alfter discovering the writers of this also wrote Father Ted. It's not as funny as that, but it's still very funny and enjoyable

Hilarious show on the bbc

22 8 Simple Rules 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter is an American sitcom, originally starring John Ritter and Katey Sagal.
23 Smart Guy
24 Only Fools and Horses

As successful as it was it was still underrated. I mean it was almost on the lines of Friends and Simpsons but still it deserved No1 spot - Unnamed Google User Remade
