Favorite Comedy TV Shows
I take this list far too seriously. Comedy TV shows are my life. I have a bias towards ridiculous premises and clever story lines. I hate laugh tracks with a passion. Feel free to comment or recommend shows. My criteria can be broken down to the following criteria. 1. How much did I enjoy the show? 2. Would I rewatch the show? 3. How many times could I rewatch it? 4. Would I watch a new season if it came out? 5. Did I even finish the show?
