Agree with most of these, except maybe Cheers. I saw an episode recently, and it was really dated and not funny.

I might add:
Taxi
Family Guy
All in the Family
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Get a Life
Frasier

*Definitely would NOT include Everybody Loves Raymond.

I actually just started watching Cheers again and found it incredibly funny after such a long time not watching it. Frasier, Cliff, Norm and Rebecca have me in stitches constantly.

I totally should have added Curb to my list as well.

Taxi?

Coupling is one of my favorite series. The UK version, not that horrible thing they tried in the US a few years ago.

Big Bang Theory can be funny, but only the scenes with Sheldon.

One that hasn't been mentioned and is one of the very few quality comedy series that didn't have a noticeable drop off in quality in it's final years:

The Dick Van Dyke Show.
