Crude Sitcoms

What comedy sitcoms go a bit further than the family kind in terms of language and situations ?

And i am talking about NON ANIMATED

I've recently been watching The War at Home which is great. Other favourites are of course Married with Children and i quite liked Lucky Louis

what others are there ?

Two and a Half Men is crude, but the producers/writers seem to think saying something crude is good enough to pass as comedy.

Arrested Development (It's balls!)
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Flight of the Concords (rarely, but on some occasions)
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Seinfeld (occasionally)
Wonder Showzen, though that isn't really a sitcom:

Just noticed this specific ad actually says he killed a drunk driver, hah.

Two of the most offensive sitcoms on network TV that were quickly canceled:



Gotta love a single camera sitcom in which passengers on an airplane think the main character is masturbating in an episode known as "Jack Air."



Gotta love a multi-camera sitcom in which characters try and figure out a way how to get their shit out of Carmen Electra's non-functioning toilet.

Coupling

Hilarious stuff, but often quite crude. Let's hope that they never put the guy who came up with this in charge of a kid's show.

Apt. 2-C [a single episode sitcom that George Carlin shot for HBO way back in the 1980's - absolutely filthy - way dirtier than his later series on Fox].

The imdb tv ratings are kinda wacky. Supernatural and other CW shows have higher ratings than The X Files.

imdb ratings should be ignored until whatever is being reviewed is at least 5 years old, gives it time to filter through the overzealous idiots and the "it looks/sounds terrible so it must be! 1.0 out of 10!" folks.

That said, It's Always Sunny kicks ass.
