I think american comedy is in a bit of a rut at the moment.

Recently- we had seinfeld, frasier, early simpsons, friends etc which were all great shows.

Now theres only scrubs, the 70s show, everyone loves raymond, and will and grace which at best are only average.

Well the new season is starting really soon.........Friends, Yes Dear, Still Standing, and That 70's Show are all pretty funny.

Futurama and Family Guy were cancelled and in Canada there is Trailer Park Boys but I have to say:

Curb Your Enthusiasm. When the show is out on DVD I reccomend you buy it.

Donald: You know what you are? You're a self-loathing Jew!
Larry David: Hey, I may loathe myself, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm Jewish!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Larry: I wanna see your ticket.
Man: You wanna see my ticket?!? Ok...here's my name on the ticket. If it was your ticket it would say "****ing Douchebag".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[After Larry has interrupted a baptism because he thought the priest was drowning the man]
Woman: You didn't want to lose another Jew!
Larry: I don't care. What do I need him for?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Larry: [to Richard Lewis] Who are people going to believe...an ex-alcoholic or a guy who's been lucent 24/7 his whole life? I didn't steal your message you *******!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Larry: What's in this latte?
Starbucks employee: Milk and coffee.
Larry: Oh my god! Milk and coffee! I never would have thought of that! That's so brilliant!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[During a fight with his business partner named Hue.]
Larry: **** Hue! **** Huuuuue!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Richard Lewis: [After Larry asks for his meditating style back] No, you can't be an East Indian giver!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Larry accidentally eats decorative manger scene cookies]
Becky: You ate the baby Jesus and his mother Mary.
Larry: I thought they were animal cookies!
Cheryl's Dad: Animal Cookies? What, are you kidding me?
Becky: Jesus Christ is not an animal!
Larry: I thought he was a monkey.
Cheryl's Dad: A monkey? Oh, please.
Cheryl's Mom: Larry, have you no shame?
Becky: The Son of God is not a monkey, Larry.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Larry has a flat tire in the city, and doesn't know how to fix it.]
Larry: [to various passerby] You know anything about changing a tire? Wanna help me change a tire here? No? I could use a little help. I need a little assistance. I never took a shop class, and I need a little help. Ok, I'm just coming flat out and saying 'help me'. Anybody want to help a semi-retarded individual change a tire? 25, 30 dollars. 30 dollars to change this tire. 35 dollars to change this tire right now. [People are ignoring him]
Larry: I'll give you 10 dollars for a verbal response! 10 dollars! Anybody want to make 10 dollars and respond verbally? No?

In the women's room, which Larry had to use, he puts his water bottle in his pants so he can smuggle it into the theatre]
Producer's daughter: [enters] Hi mister! Thanks for fixing my doll!
[hugs him]
Larry: Aww, don't worry about it sweetheart.
Producer's daughter: [looks at him, scared, and runs out] Mommy, mommy! The old man's in the bathroom, and he's got something hard in his pants!

Futurama and Family Guy (although cancelled), Simpsons, Space Ghost, Brak Show, Crank Yankers, Man Show (w/Adam & Jimmy), Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Reno 911.
I know there are a few more that I like...almost any tradition sitcom blows.

Scrubs is hilarious, but the finniest american show has to go to Buffy, that is one of the funniest things I have ever seen, and no, i'm not talking about the actual jokes. I'm talking about the acting, SFX and stroy... and Michelle Trachenberg's name (and nose)!
