5. the simpsons, curb your enthusiasm, the office

i'll give a ton of credit for the simpsons managing to still be funny despite being on since forever. very few shows manage to stay relevant and funny for anything near that long.

not to mention, even the best comedy shows are hit or miss. it's kinda in the nature of comedy.

and most tv shows quickly become formulaic and predictable. predictability can be comforting for dramatic shows, but it's the death of comedy.
