What's the FUNNIEST show on TV?
What show actually makes you laugh, or makes you laugh the hardest or the most?

Me: The Daily Show. Last night's episode (Tuesday) was friggin' hilarious!

1. on plain old network tv, maybe
Two and a half men. Also Hope and Faith, and Happy Family.

On hbo, I'd go with Curb Your Enthusiasm.

21. I caught the King of Queens on CBS for the first time last week
Leah Remini, Jerry Stiller...it was hilarious...I'll definitely be watching it again.

2. IRON CHEF!

Chairman Kaga is a hoot. And I love the announcers and the giggly actress guests and the mean-spirited "fortune teller" who judges the dishes and is nasty to everyone.

3. South Park /Dave Chappelle
King of the Hill.

(lately, I've been overwhelmed with Simpsons fatigue, and not watching as much...but when I do, it's still the best...usually)

9. Jonathan Creek
on BBCAmerica. Think "Moonlighting," only both people have about twenty I.Q. points on Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis. They have the funniest arguments I've heard in a long time.

15. I've given up
And I'm a die-hard fan. I can't believe how low it's sunk. The new humor might play well before the 2-11 age demographic.

14. South Park
With Curb your Enthusiasm finishing second only because some episodes go 10-15 minutes without a funny incident and leave you wondering "where is this going?". Other parts are comic gold.

19. TDS is so swell!
But I also love Comedy Central's
Reno 911.

I'm not sure but it almost feels like that show is improvised.
I love it.

26. I'm going with the ones that are current:
Curb Your Enthusiam- Brillant!
RENO 911 - Where the hell did this show come from? It actually makes me lol on a regular basis. If they can keep up the writing, this could be a classic.

34. I also don't have cable...
...so I don't get to see a lot of what's out there but you guys should check out "Grounded for Life". It used to be on Fox but got moved over to the WB--which I just recently found out. I thought it had been cancelled.
I never thought I'd like this show when I first saw the previews but it's much better than the previews made it look. Great mix of dry and laugh-out-loud humor.
