10. The Dick Van Dyke Show. A downright hilarious show which has since then become a classic and a measuring stick for all comedians. Even as we approach an entirely new era in comedy, this show is still comparable.

Eight. Arrested Development. Ron Howard was this cable tv show's creator. Based on the daily lives of the very funny Bluth family who lost their family business due to corruption..

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Hilarious show with very entertaining characters and interesting stories. The plotlines of this show are much deeper than most comedies out there.

I Love Lucy. This very funny show has been showing on the air since 1951. Obviously, re-runs but still funny even in today's standards. This show has many die-hard fans proven by the I Love Lucy conventions every year.

Five. Curb Your Enthusiasm. From the creator of Seinfeld, Larry David, is brilliant when playing his selfish and grossly politically incorrect alter ego. Very profane language.

The Simpsons. If you haven't seen an episode of The Simpsons any time in the past 20 years, than you must be living under a rock. The Simpson family has delivered more laughs than the entire Just For Laughs festival.

All In The Family. Another one of the classics that opened more doors for other sitcoms. Incredibly funny but they did so with intelligence rather than cheap shots.

2. Seinfeld. The funniest sitcom of all time? Many believe so even down to the very last episode.

One. The Honeymooners. Jackie Gleason once said that they were four people on one small set that managed to be funny and entertaining without profanity or any sort of sexual innuendo. Most of the episodes took place in the Kramden's kitchen with only the four primary actors. And it was funny.
