Start with the classics in situation comedies and then if you have enough money, go for the lesser comedies:

All in the Family
Mary Tyler Moore
Dick Van Dyke
Beverly Hillbillies
Honeymooners Classic 39
MASH
Seinfeld
Simpsons
Get Smart

With a collection like the one above, kudos to any tv show today that could live up to their reputation. Also, the above shows are all uncut.

However, I would've added WKRP but I so regretted buying Season 1 with all the cuts and edits. I was one of those that thought that the show could live without the music - I WAS WRONG. The music IS a huge part of the show. Stay away from WKRP.
