"Comedy, as it turns out, is quite subjective. As our friends over in the Movie section have already discovered, folks have some strong opinions about what does and does not make them laugh. Thankfully, strong opinions are exactly what we're looking for.
The past 15 years have been particularly kind to comedy on TV, so we wanted to honor that with not one but two lists of the best comedy TV shows of the last decade and a half. Below you can find our choices for the best American shows (and a Canadian show or two popular enough with American audiences to be considered eligible). Bear in mind that only shows that premiered within the past 15 years are eligible, meaning anything with a release date prior to 2007 (30 Rock, The Office, etc.) won't make the list.
Read on for our (and your) selections but also know that this was our closest voting endeavor yet. Only four total "points" in our point system separated the top four."
