Well, being children of the 50's and 60's, I can say my partner and i have been watching, absorbing and enjoying Comedy Tv series pretty much since their inception. I'm also able to say that, beyond a shadow of doubt, I have been heavily relying on them several probably may possibly partly the reason for me as an entertainer, which has been been for my life. With that being said, narrowing down my list will be next to impossible and when will just go through many shows I have loved, starting with the 50's, work my way to this particular and then try to compose My Top 10 List mixture of.

Let's Have fun with Chuck McCann was a great Sunday morning show young children and Chuck was a competent versatile performer. The show was always entertaining and really funny.
The Ernie Kovacs Show was a highly funny and groundbreaking show. The things they did editing-wise was way beyond the technology on the 50's and Ernie was a comedy wizardry. He was taken from us extremely early vehicle accident. Understands what he previously have achieved if he previously lived longer in a medium ended up being just in it's embryonic stages.

Sid Cesar's, Your Show Of Shows was a timeless show whose form already been emulated ever since. The cast of writers genuinely are a literal Who's Who their Comedy World: Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Woody Allen, Larry Gelbart and Neil Simon to name a few. How could a show such as that not be great, not to mention Sid Cesar himself. He was a major performer that's a genius at dialects.

The Jack Benny Show was a terrific show with a great cast of images. Benny was the master of the 'face' no one could milk amusing longer with only a mere look in the camera a lot him. The unique thing with regards to the show was that the laughter most often hinged on the 'Second Bananas' that fueled the comedy of the show.

Amos 'N' Andy was a great show with regarding array of characterizations. Kingfish was always scamming Andy someway, had been such a treat to watch unfold. Amos was the cab driver that narrated the show and there was Sapphire, Lightning and of course, Algonquin J. Calhoun. Unfortunately, the show was eventually pulled because of NAACP pressure of planning to show Black Americans in a better light. It was a shame because the chemistry between Kingfish and Andy was priceless take a look at.

The Red Skelton Show was a great show of skits and characters that Red would perform with infectious laughter and was one within the first shows to have a weekly guest who would perform each morning skits. Gaining control tell by watching the show that Mr. Skelton was a sweet soul and he is dearly missed. He always ended the shows with, "Good Night and May God Bless". Back at ya, Light red.

The Original Tonight Show with Steve Allen was one of my favorite shows in recent history. Steve created the Talk Show format as we know it today and had been cast of unforgettable characters that were set up in many ways. Steve was a man of so many talents along with a terrific chortle. I got the opportunity to meet him in Las Vegas once during a Comedy Convention and he was because funny and gracious as i thought yet be.

The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson was a 1 of a type show with so much strength. If you appeared on that show, your career was in tact and doors would open as well as your phone would ring off the hook. You could tell that Johnny was heavily affected by his idol, Jack Benny, by approach he could just create a face into the camera as well as the crowd would explode with laughter. I had the honor to be visible on the show and all I can say is that no talk show has ever approached it's popularity since. It was the chemistry between Johnny and Ed MacMahon and I also believe that interviewing guests on a show is art form in itself and Johnny was definitely the master at which it. He knew how to make occasions!

The Honeymooners was and still is common watched syndicated shows of all time. I don't think that there is anyone, that knows anything about comedy, that was not influenced this particular show. Busting can quote, word for word, many of the most popular scenes that emanated from the series. Besides the greatness of Ralph and Ed in the show, this is Audrey Meadows playing Alice. She was simply finest and I don't think the show hold worked also without them. In fact, in later years when they did the show with some other people playing the part, computer systems as laid back. She had the best deadpan face and in other words Ralph, "Alice, you're the greatest!"

The Dick Van Dyke Show was another great ensemble show, as well as The Mary Tyler Moore Confirm. Both had fantastic cast members and strong story lines that propelled their popularity for a few years. Neither show had a weak character within their cast. Everybody was equally funny and shined.

Monty Python's Flying Circus was an exilerating show for anybody going through their teen years in the 60's. Exercises, diet tips so different than anything else on American television at that time and they were like the Comedy Beatles in a way. It was comedy for the Boomer's generation. It also became responsible for opening the door to English Comedy on American . Of course, it was on PBS back then, which managed to get even more underground their psychedelic period.
MASH would be a groundbreaking show in it can be setting was The Korean War and through this country's time of the Vietnam Confrontation. Plus it had to overcome the recognition of the movie itself, which was no easy task, and be funny. It also had to survive cast changes throughout the series. It did all that and increasing.

Saturday Night Live is amazing in it's existence. It has had so many terrific seasons and bad ones but one thing has always remained constant: a barrage of many, many talented performers which gone in order to be very prominent your comedy well-liked. You have to give Lorne Michaels credit to have such an accurate comedic eye for staff. What a track record!

Whose Line is It Anyway? is one of my absolute preferred by recent times. I love improvisational comedy and this type of person superb in internet. The chemistry between Ryan Stiles and Colin Mocharie is a blast and Wayne Brady is phenomenal with musical comedy. Add in guests Brad Sherwood, Chip & Greg Proops and the show is really a no-holes barred extravaganza.
The Cosby Show would be a great family show when families lost of fashion on Tv. All other shows were about dysfunctional families and situations but Cosby's show was close to love per other while a warmth that one could see a person were busy laughing.
The Carol Burnett Show was each of my ie bookmarks. To watch Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Carol, Lyle Waggoner and Vicki Lawrence break up during the skits was well its time. I loved watching Tim doing his best to make Harvey laugh and lose it, which was almost inevitable.

Seinfeld was another character driven demonstrate that was so well crafted and constructed, which contribute towards the genius of Larry Dave. Larry is one of the most prolific writers I have ever met and his talent for bringing different story lines and somehow weaving them together ultimately is amazing to watch. He does the same thing on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' today. I used to work with Larry at the Improv in NYC through the 80's and that he was on your own that would have a complete new 20 minute set each week....and a brilliant 20 minute set at this. That is almost near impossible to do, unless you write constantly incessantly like he is doing. The only other person I ever saw like that was Steve Allen.

The Abbott & Costello Show the great show for any age. The chemistry of the 2 of them and the surrounding cast was a hoot to watch. Abbott was a great straight man and controlled high-quality tempo of the comedy and you have about Sidney Fields, Boccagalupe, Mike the Cop, Hillary Brooks and Stinky.

Frasier is one of the best written comedy shows of modern days. Even though it was a spin associated with Cheers, I think Frasier was much better and I think it was a casting coup to have Niles, David Hyde Pierce, on the show. To see the 2 of them try to 'out snob' each other was so much fun and so superbly acted.

My honorable mentions are Fawlty Towers, The Simpsons, The Tracy Ullman Show, The Dean Martin Show & The Dean Martin Roasts, Many folks adore Raymond, Friends, Sanford and Son, The Burns and Allen Show, The Danny Kaye Show, Make Room For Daddy, The Andy Griffth Show, Boston Legal, Married With Children, Andy's Gang, The Soupy Sales Show, Laugh-In, The Addams Family, The Munsters, The Colgate Comedy Hour, I love Lucy, The Phil Silvers Show, In Living Color, Fridays, Will & Grace, All Their Family, Mork and Mindy, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Two and a half Men, The Bob Newhart Show and Taxi.
