    I don't even know how people could categorize Seinfeld with all that other hackneyed ? . Cause it had a laugh track and aired on NBC?

    The worst Seinfeld episode is better than anything Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends and 2 and a Half Men ever did I'm sure. Seinfeld is much more Curb Your Enthusiasm than Big Bang Theory.

    I know i just finished posting saying i hated all shows with a laugh track, but I did enjoy Seinfeld. I never finished it, but i started watching it when they put all the seasons up on Hulu. Larry and the crew were just some good ass writers i guess. The laugh track annoyed me but i recall laughing a number of times. I need to finish that ? now that i think about it.

    I do think 2 and a half men is funny though. I'm surprised no stoners mentioned that 70s show. Modern family is not funny at all. No love for Malcolm in the middle?

    Because it was a dramatic comedy. It's not a situation comedy. There is a difference between the two. It may have followed and inverted the nuclear family sitcom format at times but it often avoided the tropes of a sitcom in favor of coming of age pathos.
