50 TV shows that made us laugh

AOL has chosen the 50 best TV comedies of all time, which is certainly a good unisex party conversation starter if you're ever in the market for that.

For readers clicking over from the forum post on this topic, the answer to the question posed there is that among "The Bob Newhart Show," "The Honeymooners" and "Frasier," none of them made the top 10. They were all close, but no cigar.

Given that, let's see what we think of AOL's choice for the all-time best comedy. It's among the shows on this list, all of which are arguable candidates for the honor:

• "M*A*S*H"
• "I Love Lucy"
• "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"
• "The Simpsons"
• "All in the Family"
• "Seinfeld"

One more exercise: Rank these four shows in the order they appeared among the 50. In other words, which was the best-ranked, second-best and so on.

• "The Office"
• "Welcome Back, Kotter"
• "The Dick Van Dyke Show"
• "Happy Days"

Answers tomorrow. (All right, if you must, go ahead and peek. AOL will make you click the page 50 times to see them all.)
