  A bit late but I am surprised noone mentioned Coupling.
  
  It is like a UK version of friends, but I far prefer it. Plenty of clips on youtube if you want a sample.

  I like the US but our comedies are really getting bad. I like Kath and Kim (Aussie version) and Pulling from the UK. Amazon has them, Amazon UK is cheaper if you can play other region DVD's.

  ...Married With Children is actually pretty funny in a white trash kind of way.
  
  It is well acted and its excellent cast makes satire of the American Dream come to rest in 1990's suburbia.
  
  A welcome find with chuckles amid lost hopes and mediocrity in an over-achiever's world.
  
  Remember the age of The Smothers Brothers and Flip Wilson shows?
  
  That was entertainment with a capital "E". Funny to boot!

  One season, offbeat and nearly totally unknown, about a girl who works in a gift shop at Niagra Falls and lives in a trailer park. Statues and toys talk to her.
  
  You are sad at the end of the series that they didn't make more.

    And I never fail to find myself amused (or "touched") at their ending one minute segment.
    We keep saying we're goona start watching.
    
    Surprised your list doesn't contain Parks and Recreation. Can't think of a better ensemble cast currently on. Many stars being born (and some older actors' careers getting needed boosts).

  his show 'Extras' is very funny. Obviously his 'The Office' is great as well. 'Louis' is a semi autobiographic (as opposed to fully automatic...haha) show starring comedian Louis CK. I think it's very funny..in a Larry David kind of way.

  ...I don't watch TV much - I'd rather read or book or listen to music.
  
  Seinfeld - 9 seasons on perpetual repeat - never get tired of them. Best comedy ever.
  
  You might like Curb your Enthusiasm - it's like Seinfeld on steroids, much edgier.
  
  30 Rock - Tina Fey's writing at it's height although Alec Baldwin's right wing character may be a little close to home for you.
  
  Veep - 6 episodes available on HBO On Demand - Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a funny and probably realistic political comedy. Give it a few episodes.
  
  Daily Show with Jon Stewart - very funny send-up of current events and politics, particularly good at skewing Faux News. Not a sitcom but required viewing for anyone who wants to be informed.

  being born), Up All Night, Seasons 1-4 of The Office (be patient if you start at the beginning, they soon become brilliant). These all have ensemble casts and no slapstick. Up All Night is the least "Ensemblish."
  
  New Girl with Zoe Deschanel got excellent reviews. I tried, no like. Even tho she is cute beyond belief the rest of the cast, for the most part, is a huge step down.
