Level 85

Oct 25, 2020

If MASH didn't star Hawkeye, then the Larry Sanders Show didn't star Larry Sanders.

Level 56

Sep 9, 2021

Gorden kaye is in allo allo!!!

Level 74

Mar 8, 2022

Good stuff, but not enough time for me!

13 should say Gordon Kaye btw

Level 49

Mar 8, 2022

isn't bob's burgers animated? more time would be helpful as well.

Level 80

Mar 8, 2022

Fixed

Level 72

Mar 8, 2022

Wow, nothing with Ronnie Barker in it? That seriously undermines the credibility of Rotten Tomatoes, especially if Miranda makes the list and none of his do! Lol

Level 58

Mar 8, 2022

Need more time

Level 67

Mar 8, 2022

Need more time. Also, Archer is animated. Quite a few good comedies are not on the list, but The IT Crowd is probably the most glaring absentee.

Level 65

Mar 8, 2022

Agree. Also "What We Do in the Shadows".

Level 80

Mar 8, 2022

Fixed 'Archer' not being classified as animated

Level 70

Mar 8, 2022

Can't really take this list seriously when Bojack Horseman is only 85th. I'd argue that it's the best show I've ever watched (and definitely if we're only including comedies), but aside from my bias, it should definitely be in the top 10-20 here.

Level 66

Mar 8, 2022

Larry Sanders is a fictional character. The clue should say Gary Shandling.

Level 68

Mar 9, 2022

Questionable rankings and absentees lmao, but then again this is rotten tomatoes what do you expect

Level 82

Mar 16, 2022

Needs way more time!

Expect to see Ted Lasso on here soon.
