Six Feet Under Gilmore Girls Jeeves & Wooster A Little Bit of Fry and Laurie M*A*S*H -- there's an audio option for no laugh track on the DVDs and it's so much better Deadwood Life on Mars [UK]
-- ICON: When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set Bidoof on fire.
Gilmore Girls is great! Perfectly cast with fast, witty writing... until season 6 when it got a bit soapy, and the showrunners left in season 7. But season 1-5 put Gilmore Girls in the top 5 shows on TV at the time.

Yep. Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry sketch comedy shows. Well, in Jeeves and Wooster they play P.G Wodehouse's most famous characters.
Eww England
Possibly the best crime show of the decade. I've just started watching Engrenages and it might be better than Life on Mars, but the tone is completely different; not as fun.

You forgot to mention that Lauren Graham is a total MILF

I'm being completely serious when I say this: Outsourced is one of the best comedies in years, and its "Complete Series" set just came out the other day. Once you get past the (terrible) pilot, the show is an absolute blast!
Aside from that... there's The Critic, Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist, Sanford and Son, Everybody Loves Raymond (seriously underrated), The Andy Griffith Show, and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Unfortunately, complete series boxes of Frasier and All in the Family don't exist, which is a bummer. :\

This so much. I hate that only the first season released on DVD.
I've seriously been waiting almost a decade for more seasons to be released. As far as sitcoms go, you could make a great case for Malcolm being the GOAT.

Well, it's not my personal favorite! But it is one of the few sitcoms that can hang with Arrested Development. The dialogue was excellent, the casting was perfect, and it was a really innovative show - in fact, I'd say it was one of the most influential sitcoms of the decade.

Outsources was terrible. I kept giving it a chance (I believe I saw four episodes, laughed once when Oswald from The Drew Carry Show banged the Australian girl's mom) and I just felt like every joke was "look how silly Indian culture is" or "Look how culturally ignorant this dumb American is"

After the pilot, I didn't really get that impression. I mean, there were definitely jokes like those, of course; but all in all, I thought the bulk of the humor stemmed from the stellar camaraderie the castmates had with each other. I also appreciated how lighthearted the show was - there aren't many sitcoms on the air right now that are both upbeat and legitimately funny.
But hey, I'm glad you at least gave the show a chance! A lot of the people who bashed it never even watched an episode, because "IT WAS PRO-OUTSOURCING." If they would have watched the show, they would have realized that the opposite was true!
