What is the funniest TV comedy show? [View all]

I've watched a lot of funny comedy shows and there are a couple that stand out. My favorite comedy show is The Big Bang Theory. The characters are great and the writers wrote great scenes and lines.

Runner up shows are:
Doc Martin
Seinfeld
Home Improvement
Newhart
Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in
