What are your top three comedies ever?

After reading the Frasier thread I got to thinking, theres not one comedy on tv that I would go out of my way to watch. Nothing for the past few years really. Im not one for watching things more than once. I just cant do it. I will always make an exception for these three though.

Frasier
Curb your Enthusiasm
Father Ted

and, thats about it really. Im interested in what your favourites are and would you recommend them to me?

Sorry for the spelling. Ive just done five nights and dont know whether Im coming or going. I do know that I need to pop out and get wine before Tescos closes though. Looking forward to some proper laughs tonight when I cant sleep.

I do like the Big Bang Theory but because my DC watch it continually on catch-up, I'm a bit meh by it at the moment.

I love loads of others but I think for being consistently funny in every episode it would have to be those.
