I've enjoyed the clips of Fry and Laurie and Blackadder I've seen on youtube.

I've looked at a couple inbetweeners clips as well. I don't think that would fly as a show aimed at teens in the US - to vulgar. But at least it seems more realistic and better written than that other show.

I'll mention a couple other current American comedies I like; Chuck and Glee.

Chuck is about some best buy geek squad member who gets a government database downloaded into his brain via the internet and so he gets roped into government plans to defeat evil spying organizations in the greater LA area. It's amusing, but oh so ridiculous at times. And completely unintended ridiculousness; the writers seem to have done no research on anything for any of the situations they put Chuck into. So I find I just have to not care to much about the plot or I'd get bogged down in the plot holes and hollywood science.

Glee is about highschoolers in Ohio joining a new glee, or singing and performance, club at their high school. Definitely not the same disney-clean fare as 'high school musical', it features a lot of television tropes and humor mixed with drama. And the singing is good too. Usually well written, and the character of Sue Sylvester is great.

As for Scrubs, I liked the first few seasons. But the longer plot lines and the JD character I grew to dislike.
