UK humor and US humor are different - but I'm pretty sure there are numerous US comedy shows which you'd enjoy.I’ll give you MASH, can’t think of another US comedy show that’s made me laugh tho.

Seinfeld?
News Radio?
Everybody Loves Raymond?
News Radio is a special gem - probably my favorite comedy. It didn't last long though (2 years?) due to, I think, poor ratings for whatever reason.
And the Saturday Night Live (SNL) sketch that you didn't enjoy - I guess requires inside knowledge about Jeopardy and maybe Norm MacDonald. SNL is very hit-and-miss though - sometimes it's great, but mostly it's just not funny.
As an American, I'm a fan of some - but not all - popular UK comedy, e .g., Fawlty Towers. Some of Monty Python is very funny to me. Cunk on Britain and the other Cunk stuff is great. But many popular UK comedy shows I just don't get, e.g., Blackadder.

Lots of the humour in Frasier was very English in my eyes. Classic farce episodes like the ski lodge, Frasier being courted by the gay man. Also lots innuendo regarding Niles and Daphne. To write a whole country off comedy wise is bizarre. Probably never watch most of their shows, and probably like Miranda and Two pints of lagerUK humor and US humor are different - but I'm pretty sure there are numerous US comedy shows which you'd enjoy.
