South Park is better.

Of course, South Park is animated. Unless it's Seinfeld, animated shows always have the edge.

Yes, but Seinfeld is the one exception to this rule you would point out? It was a good show, but I wouldn't put it in my all time top ten, and as for Seinfeld being the best non-animated show ever, forget it.

Shows with laughing audiences/laugh tracks struggle to be great. IMO, Roseanne was the best of them, probably Frasier next, then MAYBE Seinfeld, but I also think Grounded For Life was incredibly underrated.

Point is though, I'd trade any of them for a show without a laugh track, like The Wonder Years, or a top-notch animated sitcom like The Simpons or South Park. Laugh tracks put a ceiling on how good a comedy can be because they inhibit its timing to the limitations of the same basic refrain.
