I would love to hear everyone's thoughts about what the laugh out loud funniest comedy shows of the '50s (and '40s if any) are. When I was a kid there were a lot of older sitcoms airing in syndication on independent stations, so I watched quite a few. However, for the most part, the programming focused on mid-'60s and newer shows, so I saw very little from the 50s. Leave it to Beaver was the only 50s comedy I really watched, until I later caught The Honeymooners on video.
From the very little I have seen (checked out an episode or two of a few others on Hulu), The Honeymooners remains my favorite. It is still hilarious. But surely there must be some other winners that I should pick up for my collection.
What are other must have pre-1960 comedy shows?
