Comedy is all about timing though. Whereas I know my list of dramatic episodes will be the same a year from now as it is today, I imagine if I rewatch the comedic episodes a few weeks later, my thoughts will change. That's the great thing about comedy. Knowing that, I shot for uniqueness over pure laughter. Going solely on how often I pissed my pants, the list would be quite different.
That Will Ferrell episode was great too, as was Senor Truck. I certainly will miss those great FOX shows.

CYE I really hope does not fade away--it is too damn good but doesn't get the usual fanfair billing. I have to admit that I am a Seinfeld extremist so I'm biased and might have put Thor in there. Just the scene with Larry and Jason arguing about where to hold there meetings had me rolling...as well as Cheryl thinking Larry had an ass fetish. The best is at the end where he tells the kids of the wrestler he had words with that their dad is a big liar and only acting. "Our dad's a fake?" "Yeah, everyone knows this" There is the Shrimp Incident too with Julia Louis Dreyfuss where she wants Larry to pitch an idea to HBO for a show because she really wants to say "F^#$" on tv. But I like all of them and watch the show faithfully.
Sex and the City was somewhat mediocre to me this season. I realize granted, that the characters have to evolve but this season I really wanted to smack Carrie for acting more asinine than her usual self and just seemed to be going in circles. Actually, some of those episodes could have been featured on your drama list. I really felt choked up in a few of them. Especially with Samantha finally falling in love and Carrie ending her relationship with Aiden. We'll see what happens in only the 8 episodes we see for season 5.
I've heard Bernie Mac is great but haven't seen any so I will give the reruns a try.
That Greg The Bunny...I think one episode was overstaying it's welcome I just found it to be a complete dud
And I adore Eugene Levy usually.
The other shows that fall into this category that I like a LOT are Ed and Watching Ellie--although Julia's days are probably numbered. It's a shame too because she was meant for TV and is such a great actress.
Alas, das...I so miss Seinfeld
Btw, what would be your favorite episode of that series? It's a toughie I know...

Well, just like your dramatic list, you chose good series, but I don't agree with the paticular episodes. I have a lot more trouble remembering specific episodes of a comedy series than a dramatic series since the dramatic have ongoing storylines, so I can't make any kind of list. I will say that I would put almost every episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force on there and that by far the best episode of Undeclared was the season finale, "Eric's POV".
