one of the very best, if not the best, t.v. show ever

This is kind of after the fact but today my husband and I were talking about the Colbert Report which practically had us rolling on the floor last night with its tumbling routine. This led us quite reasonable to KITH. My husband just stumbled on it one night and we became addicts. Don't remember which season that was but our favorite episodes were the chicken, all the farmhouse spots. The QE/11 and the beaver. The office bldg trappers, the "perfect" couple & I loved the thanksgiving dinner skit. I thought all of the actors were terrific and the writing was among the best ever seen on t.v. (Seinfeld is pretty great too) Another reason KITH came to mind is our grandchildren at 14 & 10 I think. . . are ready for this show (maybe with some screening) they have such terrific senses of humor that I can't wait to watch it with them but as I said to my husband, better pad the floor with pillows as they will be falling down laughing!
