For the guy who said he likes non-politically correct stuff: you'd love Rising Damp & Til Death Us Do Part. Made in the 60's and 70's, these comedies are very crude.
Other sleeper favorites that I can't put down - you'll note they're all pretty original. I grew up so sick of the formula after watching years of Full House, Step by Step, My 2 Dads, and the countless other family comedies, that I can only watch really twisted stuff anymore.
The Tick (live-action series starring Patrick Warburton, Seinfeld's "Puddy" and Family Guy's "Joe")
Greg the Bunny (Sarah Silverman, Seth Green, Eugene Levy, and lots of puppets.)
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (only barely qualifies because of the wraparound segments, of which there are about 22 minutes worth each 2 HOUR SHOW hehe)
Herman's Head (starring a whole lotta nobody, plus Hank Azaria and the woman who does Maggie Simpson's voice)
Cosby Show (yes, I realize this is a formula sitcom. But Bill himself elevates it, and his chemistry with his on-screen wife and kids makes the show believable. Many of Bill's lines are improv, to elicit a genuine reaction from the others (and the studio audience). )
Herman's Head (starring a whole lotta nobody, plus Hank Azaria and the woman who does Maggie Simpson's voice)
You mean Lisa's voice? Yeardley Smith.
The only sitcom I go out of my way to watch is Simpsons.
These are the ones I stop and watch when I am flipping through the channels.
Seinfeld
Trailer Park Boys (is this a sitcom?)
South Park
Family Guy

My wife is big into Friends. So, I've got to see a lot of them. Last weekend, for fun, I decided to do the "Phoebe run" through the park. Most fun I've had making an ass of myself in public in a while!

Yeah my GF has every single episode on video, plus the two seasons of Joey, the spin off. Nearly 300 episodes in all, and not a bad one made I'd say.
I used to love all the old TGIF shows that used to be on back in the day as well. Step by Step, Family Maters, Full House, etc. I use to have the biggest crush on DJ from Full House for some reason. Keep in mind I was like 12.

I liked those shows when I was younger, but I have a hard time watching them now. Same with Who's the Boss? I had the biggest crush on Alyssa Milano back in the day.
As for my favorites of all time...
Three's Company
Simpsons
Scrubs
The Office
Gotta love Fred Savage, The Wonder Years & The Wizard, that would raise anybody to mythical status.
Ren & Stimpy
Fullhouse
LOST
The Simpsons
Roseanne
Who's the Boss?
Cheers
America's Funniest Home Videos
(in no particular order)

And Mr. Belvedere
I guess my all time was Saved by the Bell. Don't tell me you didn't watch that back in the day.
Welcome Back Kotter, a little before my time, but I caught a bunch of reruns a few years back, still funny to me.
And Mr. Belvedere
I guess my all time was Saved by the Bell. Don't tell me you didn't watch that back in the day.
Man I've got the entire Saved by the Bell collection still to watch, remember watching them in the early 90's every saturday morning.
Screech is a legend, did he ever graduate?
I'm still after Good Morning Miss Bliss (I think thats what its called), it was the sort of prequel to SBTB.
MR BELVEDERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quite possibly the greatest show of all time, certainly had the greatest opening song. Dude, go to amazon.com and vote for it to be released on dvd. We need all the help we can get. Mr. Belvedere thanks you!
and #1 (and no one comes even close) GEORGE COSTANZA!
I wish I had a buck for everytime George on Seinfeld made me laugh, I could afford to buy SE
