I vote for 30 Rock, It's probably the wittiest show since Seinfeld (greatest sitcom ever). I really like Tina Fey, she's cute, but her personality makes her hot. Tracy Morgan is hilarious and Jack's (Alec Baldwin) quick quip's and insults are probably the best part of the show, throw in Jenna and the writing staff and it's a circus. Of coarse, I assume, if you like one of these shows, you like the others and a case could be made for all three. Cast your vote and weigh in.
I have never really been a fan of 30 Rock, just not my kind of show 1) Curb Your Enthusiasm 2) The Office 3) 30 Rock
I only have gotten into Curb for about 3 months now. Before that, I hadn't even watched one episode. My vote would have to go with Curb over The Office because it is my favorite show right now and it is 3x better than The Office as it stands today. I never thought I would vote against the Office 2 years ago. I guess everyone goes through phases and right it is all about Curb, since I enjoy a more adult humor now. So the answer: Curb your Enthusiasm, it is truely, truely Laugh Out Loud funny. Needless to say I never watch 30 Rock.
The Office. No contest. More characters, developed stories, fun. I stopped reading there. Sincerely, Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler
Really- the 3 kings of sitcom are I Love Lucy, All in the Family, and Threes Company, although Cheers and Seinfeld obviously have their merits.
If the category is comedy then Curb wins hands down..I really like the other two shows but not necessarily cuz they deliver the most laughs... 1. Curb 2. The Office, 30 Rock.
I'm guessing you're a Curb fan because of your condescending reply, but let me assure you this is an educated decision. I have seen EVERY episode of curb, since the beginning, so I'm not taking anything away from L.D. and co., just as of right now I think 30 slightly edge's Curb. Maybe the earlier seasons of Curb were better, but since the first time L.D. almost called it quit's, it has slipped a little. Hopefully, the new season of Curb, with the Seinfeld reunion, will get the show back to where it was before the slip. I find it hard to find fault with any of these shows, I mean, I love all three.
I'd go with the Office, followed by Curb, then 30 Rock. 30 Rock is comedy, but it also has drama in it.
Sorry dude, didn't even see "The Office. No contest. More characters, developed stories, fun." part of your original post. I'm used to seeing the old quote then the reply next, you had it reversed, so disregard my reply to your original reply, or something. Also, you can put Three's co. up with Seinfeld, agreed.
Curbed. Never interested in 30 Rock (ironically I loved Studio 60); and can't watch an "Office" episode more than once (no thanks on the syndication). For at least 10 or 15 years, there's been a whole sub-genre "funny" commercials that are shot in the exact same way that the American "Office" is. I don't know how often I need to see that over and over again. With Curbed, I think David has done such a great job dissecting etiquette and creating a great space for good improvisational dialogue. I think the last ten years of Curbed and the "Bee Movie" should tell us everything we need to know about Jerry Seinfeld's non-standup abilities. And Seinfeld is the third best sitcom of all time, behind Lucy and All in the Family.
Agreed, The Office is awesome, but I would put it in third on this list, like I said, it's really hard for me to find flaws in the these shows, because I like all three. Again, apologizes for my original reply, I misinterpreted/ misread your original response.
I enjoy the Office the most. 30 Rock is probably the most consistently funny. And Curb probably has the highest comedy ceiling. But I'd probably vote for the office just because I like it the most. I just love that it has such a deep cast of finely drawn characters. The Office is like "comfort food". I never get tired of it, even when it doesn't totally work.

And where's It's Always Sunny in this discussion?
I like your "comfort food" analogy, I think 30 Rock has "comfort food" potential, but hasn't been around long enough. To me, I would have to say Curb is more a "comfort food", because I've seen more episodes of L.D.'s show, when it comes to HBO shows I don't half-ass it, I have to see EVERY episode of a show when it's on HBO or just can't function right.
30 rock may go down as my favorite show of all-time by the time it is done. although it has to stay on the air long enough to surpass the decade of greatness Cheers and The Simpsons gave us, 30 rock hit the ground running much better than either of those shows and as of now delivers more laughs per minute than any show i've ever seen. i only worry if it can actually keep up this level of quality going forward. the office is also great but not up to the 30 rock standard and i haven't watched enough Curb to fully evaluate, but what i have seen has been really funny, just not enough so to keep me watching. i think it's the whole "everybody is always angry/confrontational" motif of both seinfeld and curb that keeps me from completely loving them. of course i'm sure that's also why so many others do love those shows.
