On Netflix.

I miss Michael's character in a way but honestly I think I may like the show just as much without him. Maybe even more.

Wow, really?  By the end of last season, I was watching more out of obligation than anything.  I thought it was awful.  But I have 8+ years invested in it now, and I want to see how it ends.

BTW, the first few episodes of this season were better than anything we saw last year, IMO.  So maybe that's a good sign.  But we're still a LONG ways removed from "Diversity Day" and "The Dinner Party".

It's not as good as the old days but I felt like it was getting tedious with Michael. Maybe I have low standards.

I think I can say it's my favorite comedy of all time.  I miss Michael but I still enjoy it a lot and will be really sad when it's over.

Matter of fact, I dreamed last night I was on the set when the final episode ends and I was hugging the cast members.

A comedy out now that I really like is New Girl.  It kinda reminds me of Friends, but with much, much better writing.

I like Seinfeld better, but it's close. The Office is up there with Cheers and The Cosby Show as the ones that are just a tick behind Seinfeld.

Agree with Seinfeld.  I'd put Frasier in that 2nd group as well.

I'd put Frasier in my top 10.

I think my top 5 sitcoms would be Seinfeld, The Cosby Show, Cheers, The Office, and The Brady Bunch.

I know this is weird, but I'll put it out there anyway.. I'm a big fan of Golden Girls too.

I'm a big Seinfeld fan, but I never got into it until after the series had ended.  I now own all seasons of it, and I do with Office too... But Seinfield is in second place for me.  Office just hit it right for me.

There's a big dropoff after my top 4, and those are the ones I own on dvd:  Office, Seinfeld, GG's, and Simpsons.

Also, a comedy that was every bit as good as those, but wasn't around long enough was Arrested Development.  It's actually coming back as a Netflix exclusive, but I'm skeptical that it can be that good the 2nd time around.

If we are counting animated shows as sitcoms, family guy is my number 2 and Greg and Marsha drop out of my top 5.

Golden Girls and Roseanne are top 10 for me too.

I have never watched arrested development but I know I would like it based in reviews.
