Do you want current sitcom recommendations or classics as well. I'm not sure why non-sitcoms are getting into this thread.

A bit of a hijack but.
This was the best car show ever, in my mind. greatest cars, great settings, true sound of the cars under way. Filmed beautifully! outstanding!
I wish that Allan DeCadeny would do a series on the many classic rallies going on in Europe, and follow along connecting with the folks and cars doing the rally.

I am nearing the last few episodes of my three-month long journey of watching every episode of all 11 seasons of Frasier.

A modern classic, and more refined that Cheers IMO.

You might want to give Castle a try. It is crime solving with a funny approach. My wife an I just finished watching the first 5 and really enjoyed it.

We have also liked CSI Miami and 24.

Riiiight. Probably the funniest, best-written sitcom on TV right now. IMHO, of course. I've got to believe you haven't given the show much of a chance.

Big Bang is super funny, well written, the lady is super easy to look at and, my wife is a big fan...

But...

I work at a science museum... it reminds me WAY too much about my workplace... and Sheldon is my boss... imagine working for Sheldon.

Victory by design IS a great show... when it first came out I DVR'er every episode and watched them... wife is not a car nut and not sure I could get her to curl up on the couch after dinner and watch it (same with top gear).

Trying to get away from violent shoot-um-ups so sons of anarchy is out (I watched a few episodes by myself) breaking bad looks pretty violent too.

I'm considering Mike and Molly, the previews I have caught look funny.

I'm also a huge Poirot fan (did you see they just filmed the very last episode?) but I am trying to find something other than murder mystery (the actor did a cool documentary on the Orient Express that I just watched)

I have a bunch of "through the wormhole" DVR'ed too... but also not light wife friendly viewing.

We do watch Frasier some times... always good.

I was a big MASH fan back in the day... but tried it recently and it seems flat... I love Alan Alda but Hawkeye comes off as a constantly pissed off condescending jerk.

YMMV
