ahhhhh, Red Dwarf... Loved that show, shown on PBS here many years back. It was hilariously funny, and amazing how it really didn't require much of a budget and that itself played into the funny nature of the show. Case in point; the guy that was a hologram, you knew he was a hologram because he had a big "H" on his forehead. And the creature that evolved from a cat...
bigger budget (VII onwards) it went down-hill.
Best episode?
The Top Gun parody with Rimmer as the hero.

For British TV humour, it's hard to beat The Thick of It, HIGNFY, Mock the Week when Milton Jones is on, and QI.
For American, I still love Cheers and Frasier more than any others. As for more recent stuff, I did catch the pilot of 30 Rock recently which really made me guffaw, and the humour in House is great.
On new forms of humour, the best Twitter humour (in my opinion) comes from @qikipedia (the QI elves) and Steve Martin, respectively.
