Guys,

I am not much into watching TV shows. But I do remember watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S and
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (I like Will Smith) years back. Are there any good English TV shows -sitcoms that are worth watching other than these names..?? Any recommendations

As a heartbeat. The show is amazing. I haven't seen a single episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S but this is a bit close to it.

nothing,i mean nothing comes even close to seinfeld.

yup agree 100%. You can watch Friends once or twice and then it gets boring. But you will never ever get tired of watching Seinfeld.

Just a few eps randomly I would say but haven't seen any episode at a stretch. The concept is somewhat close. Not entirely but just check out How I Met Your Mother & you'll know for sure. :)

Well, if you are anything like me, you should watch Seinfeld (I LOVE THIS SHOW) and apart from the common ones like The Office, Prison Break, How I Met Your Mother and so on, consider watching Chuck. It is a new show (currently in Season 2) and it is all about geeky spy stuff, gadgets, women and so on. It comes on AXN in India and NBC in the US. But, you can watch it off of HULU or if you don't care about downloading pirated content, just download it and watch it because in India, they air the OLD episodes.

friends is very nice they all have really evolved with the show, but some one rightly said you can watch them once or may be twice.

The Tonight show by Jay Leno. very nice nice talk show.

Prison Break season 1 was the best

Seinfeld best among these.

True Blood you will love this if you like vampires and stuff. amazing

Dexter very very nice thriller

The X files pawns all of the above

BRO, you got to see How i met your mother, its AWESOME.

I have seen a couple of episodes of seinfeld on TV. They're good.

And if you like animations then go for southpark, Ive only seen last 3 seasons but they were great.

I somewhat don't like all these overly hyped TV shows. Other than F.R.I.E.N.D.S I used to watch The 3rd rock from the Sun and I still watch The Simpsons. :D

Other than that I like seinfeld. Kinda goofy humor too.
