One hell of a ride.
Fawlty Towers when it was fresh, even Python for that matter.
These are comedies that defined a generation.
Is some of your (collective) hankering for the 80s because there haven't been any such defining productions since.
So what are the comedic high water marks post '89...the ones that have become metaphors to describe day to day situations?
The soup nazi?....
when was hitchikers guide?
suggestions?

Simpsons I guess. Family Guy (not so big here)... gah Ren & Stimpy early nineties.

The Mighty Boosh, only a couple of series in but already shows promise. Great characters like the hitcher and old Gregg.
The Simpsons is just about the only long running comedy on at the moment.
It's OK...I've got a spare!
The Office of course!!!
The real one that is.

Great pun.
Animation is all I can think of at the moment. I guess Simps opened the doors. Seinfeld was big though... Friends was big. Love watching Two and a Half Men but its hardly gen defining eh. Wonder if Conchords will 'take off'?

"Little Britain" and, although its american, "My name is Earl" has it's moments.
You forgot "Red Dwarf" Dave, lots better than "Hitchikers guide" IMHO.
One hell of a ride.
Granted - Blackadder and a lot of Ben Elton is now embedded in conversation.

Was 'Open All Hours' too early to be considered?

Sorry yeah, I didn't read the original post properly...post '89.Not so, I'm afraid, I was about to say that too but it appears it's rather older (1983-89) than I thought
