I have to say that the most satisfying TV comedy has got to be The Office (UK). The perfect amount of episodes - each with their own arc that adds to the overall arc of the season that adds to the overall arc of the entire run.* They ended on such a strong note AND THEN came back with what is basically a 2 hour movie to tie up all the loose ends and - I don't know how they did it - completely change your opinion about the main character in the last 2 minutes of the show.

There's never been a time where I've stumbled upon an episode on TV and not stopped to finish it up.

*that's the most worthless sentence I've ever written

I suppose that I favorite things because they make me a believer...
that weirder and weirdest things exist out there.

And Tim and Eric...what about Tim and Eric...

the rest of the list is aces, but for some reason seinfeld always rubbed me wrong. it was mostly jerry and elaine, kramer and the rest were great, and larry david is a genius.

replace seinfeld with arrested development and i'd tattoo this list on my shoulder in old english script.

Couldn't agree more about Larry Sanders. Everyone raves about its tremendous influence -- which is appropriate. And I love to study and think about how it played with documentary style, etc. But the primary reason that I've watched it over and over again is because it makes me laugh so hard that I eventually get a sharp pain in my chest, feel lightheaded and require supplemental oxygen. Pure joy.

Can't believe that doesn't make the cut.
