in my opinion south park isnt as funny as it used to be , dont get me wrong its still really funny but ya know its not gut busting so much so that i have to watch and episode three times so i can get all the jokes anymore.

its like the simpsons great show but over the years theyve just done so much that they lost a lot of the zing it used to have but both shows r funny it just gets hard to do after awhile.

I honestly don't watch much television, just whatever my roommate is watching when I happen to be in the room. So, considering my limited exposure, I suppose the top ten would be, in no particular order:

That 70's Show reruns
Will & Grace reruns
Everybody Loves Raymond reruns
Friends reruns

I'm sorry, I just can't continue....

You get the idea.

That's why I hate making lists because I either leave shit out or I can't think of enough things to fill up the list or sometimes both.

ok put in as many shows as you want but same rules still apply and i did say before that the simpsons were funny but they arent as funny as they used to be and not as funny as other stuff on tv.

They peaked in '97.

It's still one of very very few shows that can make me lough out loud. Some of the shows you guys list are only 'internal chuckle' funny. Like Reno 911.

MadTV has been on a long time so I guess some people find it funny. I hate how everyone on that show hams it up so much. Nobody is ever the straight man, they all just try to out do each other. It always brings to mind the Mr. Show sketch about actors. yelling and screaming, jumping up and down.

Yes, this is true. Unless you live in the Central Time Zone in which case it comes on at 7:30.

I believe season 2 starts Nov. 7th. So you still have time to watch all of season 1 on DVD. They are pretty easy to watch non-stop so dive right in (yes, yes head first this time)
