IFC has recently revived a bunch of great TV shows and is showing them regularly, which is a great chance to find good comedy that some have forgotten or never took the time to appreciate. Larry Sanders, Arrested Development and Freaks & Geeks, just to name a few. Freaks & Geeks is great because of the talent pool it assembled before all these people got richly famous. Seth Rogan, James Franco, Jason Segal, Judd Apatow and a cadre of others who make fantastic cameos (Joel Hodgson from MST3K, Jason Schwatzman, etc.).
Freaks & Geeks was not peppered with hilarious one-liners so much as it was a great take on high school life and the cliques everyone forms and the inability to escape those trappings once you fall into them. Good stuff.
