Must See Comedy

it's april, national humor month and my land, i do love to laugh. here's a list of my top favorite comedies that always make me chortle and guffaw. most of these i own, others i will ALWAYS watch when they're on TV. no funny lover should miss seeing each one of these at least once. by the way- feel free to just copy and paste these to your Netflix list. you're very welcome. i know it's missing a few priceless pieces that i have yet to see/fully absorb, so let me know if i'm woefully without any gems that you love. it was hard enough to narrow it down to these.

we sure did grow up in the same family LOL, Rasing Arizona would be on my list as well, If only for the scene when Nic is saved from the baseball bat attack in the trailer because ( is it John Goodman?) scrapes his knuckles along the popcorn ceiling. Having grown up in a trailer with a top bunk, I can relate to that.......Wow that reads rather pathetically. Ah well, good thing we know how to laugh at ourselves more than anything huh?
