-Frazer
-Mash
-WKRP
-Welcome Back Kotter
-Happy Day's
-Friends ( as long as it's concentrating on Kramer or the "soup nazi")

Recently it's been Monday night football.

If you watched any of them then you know why I call them sitcoms.

I used to like King of Queens, but then the hottie got fat and the show got stupid. Yeah, I'm shallow.

Seinfeld over all by far.

After that, Simpsons, then a bunch of others which are enjoyable but not in the same leagues.

Seinfeld and Newsradio

I've never really watched any sitcoms on a regular basis.

I never missed an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation or Deep Space 9, though. I watched Star Trek: Voyager for awhile until it started to suck.

I liked "Buffalo Bill," the short-lived early 1980s show starring Dabney Coleman.

Uhhh, I think you meant Seinfeld. The Soup Nazi and Kramer were both on Seinfeld.

Friends had those fake people who couldn't get along with each other, so they pretended to be actual friends.

Um Seinfeld and The Simpsons. I haven't watched much television this millennium. What little I saw of The Practice was ok and that new show with James Spader and William Shatner seemed ok from the episode I saw.

I don't care how hot the woman of Desperate Houswives are, I will not sit through something like that.

M*A*S*H (the early seasons, before it sucked)
WKRP
Night Court
Married With Children
Cheers
Frasier
That 70's Show
All in the Family

1. Cheers
2. The Wonder Years
3. Seinfeld
4. WKRP in Cincinnati
5. That 70's Show
6. Everybody Loves Raymond
7. MASH
8. Scrubs
9. Taxi
10. The Munsters

Currently I like Scrubs. Joey is OK too. According to Jim also makes me laugh.

King of Queens, Seinfeld, and According to Jim.

Two reasons why I think Seinfeld trumps all others:

-Almost every day something comes up which makes me recall a Seinfeld episode. This morning for example I found myself jittery from too much coffee, and I thought of Kramer racing down the street after he was awarded all the coffee he could drink.

-In almost every episode, especially in the last 5 seasons, every subplot ends up tying together. Every other show usually keeps them seperate. Example: Elaine, in an effort to silence her neighbor's alarm clock, shuts off the automatic feeder of her neighbor's cat, so to feed it she uses Kramer's meat slicer, for which Kramer buys a butcher's coat in which George's boss, who is getting his picture taken w/ his shirt off so George can airbrush a photo, mistakes him for the dermatologist George had arranged to do a cancer screening, who happened to be Jerry's girlfriend and ends up repelling her from the job by accusing her of being "Pimple popper MD"

ROFL

I like the sitcom genre most of all, and can usually get a laugh out of most of them. But only one [and it's successor] is reliable for deep, asphyxiation inducing, belly laughter. Whose Line and Green Screen.

Especially when they call on someone from the audience to provide sound effects for the improved scene. I remember nearly passing out when Colin prmopted the audience member by saying something like "hey look Ryan, a rhinocerous." and the audience member let out a hearty "Mooooo!!!!"

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL.

Or the time when Ryan played Carol Channing as Dirty Harry.

ROFL ROFL

Others high on my list


The Office
Seinfeld [never missed an ep]
News Radio
The Cosby Show
Everybody Loves Raymond
Scrubs
Coupling
Friends [never missed and ep]

I forgot about Coupling till Baby Lee mentioned it. Its a close second to Seinfleld as my favorite. The only bad thing about it is there are not enough episodes in each season.

Burns and Allen
Scrubs
Simpsons
Malcom in the Middle
The Red Green Show

There's always a malcontent...

Oops (They never actually said the "word")

The exception that proved the rule...
 

ghey...

Cheers
Everyone Loves Raymond
MASH (early seasons)
The Middle
Frasier
The Golden Girls

My #1 all time would be a tie between Seinfeld and Beverly Hillbillies.

You've been deep diving the archives lately. :D

Seinfeld
Malcolm in the middle
Curb your Enthusiasm

I could have made this list in 2004. that's sad.

100% in agreement with Gaz. They were all a bunch of self-absorbed sociopaths.

Some of my favorites:

Scrubs
That 70s Show
Two and a Half Men(with Sheen)
Shameless

I can’t explain it but I’ll always watch an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond if it’s on. It’s a truly great show that has aged so well

It's mainstream through and through, but it has some of the biggest gust-busting set pieces.

Marie's sculpture

the unpacked suitcase

When Debra realized that Marie changed the labels on the spices to ruin her braciola.

The wedding tape

The tee-ball snack switcheroo.

I hardly watched it when it first aired but I absolutely love King of Queens. Kevin James and Leah Remini had great chemistry together.

I guess the additions to this very old list would be The Big Bang Theory (early seasons), Two and a Half Men (obviously only with Charlie Sheen), Last Man Standing and Mom. Also, I don't know why I didn't initially include Home Improvement.

Can Archer be considered a sitcom? That may be the funniest shit I've ever seen on TV, at least until it, like so many others, lost its burst.

These are the 3 I loved in the past.

I think Frasier surpassed Cheers. David Hyde Pierce may be the funniest sitcom star of all time.

I was fortunate enough to see him live during the pre-Broadway run of Spamalot. Blew everybody else off the stage.

Chuck Lorre fan, I take it?

Bob [Hearts] Abishola?
B Positive?
United States of Al?
Mike and Molly?

Yeah, I guess.

Hadn’t thought about that one in a long time. Great show!

It was probably more of a “dramedy” though.

Only sitcom I've ever intentionally rewatched is The IT Crowd, so I guess that would be my addition to the already popular shows listed.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia considered a Sit com?


it's by far my favorite show of all time.

Seinfeld, The Office are my other go to's.

Never really heard of it at the time it was out, and just randomly stumbled on it recently in the background , but I found myself getting a chuckle out of Mike and Molly. but admittedly, I've only seen maybe 5 episodes of it. McCarthy make me laugh in her other stuff, and the sister in M&M is a pretty good degenerate.



It's Always Sunny so so good for my deranged humor.

Letterkenny. IASIP.

MYTHIC QUEST if it counts as one

3rd Rock from the Sun.
My Name is Earl.
2 1/2 Men.

Third Rock from the Sun - excellent add. Lithgow ruled in that show.

Seinfeld, The Office, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are my 3 all time favorites.

Seinfeld
Curb Your Enthusiasm
The Office
Arrested Development
It's Always Sunny...
Married With Children
WCW Nitro vs WWF Raw (The Monday Night Wars..I still watch old clips of this every now and then...rasslin' was great TV then with Rock, Stone Cold, DX, nWo, Goldberg, Sting etc etc.)

These were my definite go-to shows.

It's Always Sunny.
Arrested Development.

I've been catching The Waltons lately and had forgotten how much I loved that show back then.

Cheers is my all time favorite. Hands down.

Married With Children is probably number 2.

I'd say Scrubbs is probably no 3. I love Dr. Cox

I liked Dr. Bob Kelso

Got two thumbs?

They have Frasier reruns on Hallmark channel with a couple Cheers episodes each night. Really think I’m going to try watching Frasier.

I haven't seen it since the 90s. Like NOTHING from that era seems to have aged well.

But Grammar can roll. He's had some shit performances in his time, but he can legit act when things come together, and like I said, it's been awhile, but there were some really good moments in there.

You said it, hoss

BTW - this ep of half in the bag is more entertaining than half the films of the past year. . .

david hyde pierce has so many classic moments in that show. He is incredible.

the Valentines episode 1999---he doesnt say a word for the whole scene-around 7 minutes-and owns it.

That's straight theater acting.

All in the Family
Newhart
Fraser
Andy Griffith(Old-Don Knotts)
Three Stooges(Curly only)

Pierce and Grammer were both spectacular in that show. Almost too good for network TV. The entire cast played their rolls perfectly.

Once things started rolling around season 3, that show was top freaking notch in every measurable way. It's a shame it had to be overshadowed by Seinfeld and Friends, because realistically it could have been a flagship show if it had the chance.

NBC sure knows how to roll out the sitcoms.

FYP

It was well know that show was written as a play, not a sitcom. The lighting, the feel-it was different and great.

Grammer/Pierce/Mahoney (dad) all had extensive theater experience

The reason I remember that so much was that was the night my first kid was born. We were in the hospital, wife was puking and I was watching that. She is still mad to this day about that.

That was 23 years ago last week.

IMDB on Frasier--https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106004/trivia/?ref_=tt_trv_trv

Even better

- I think I've had this conversation here before, but if you like this genre of stage play turning into comedic farce, you owe it to yourself to track down 'Noises Off' - won't say more except it's a ton of fun.

Anyone mentioned WKRP?

Their so many to choose from, it's hard to place a 1 on just one.

Currently watching more KOQ. They have reruns every night and it is a joy. Whoever did the writing for this show was a genius.

The first few seasons, Leah Remini was pretty hot. I think Kevin James was one of the main writers for KoQ, and is a pretty funny guy who has that loveable everyman dope-act down pat. Too bad that I hear he's kind of an @$$hole in real life.

3rd Rock from the Sun pretty underrated. Watching that a lot lately.

King of Queens just hysterical.

Fraiser reruns as well

It's Always Sunny is easily one of the most original, darkest comedies ever.

Just ****ing crazy fun to watch.

Although not classics, I really like both The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon.

it's the Thunder Gun of all other sitcoms.

SEIZE THE GOD**** GAP.

married with children and Just Shoot Me are probably my two all-time faves

Two Girls, a Guy, and a Pizza place was underrated (early ryan reynolds)

I would throw in "Police Squad" (Leslie Nielsen), but that's probably not considered a sitcom.

Ever been in a storm, Wally?

FYP

a couple of under the radar ones i have been thinking of:

ned and stacey

herman's head

always made me laugh :thumb:

I was a pretty big fan of Wings. Newhart was great too. And I always loved a stutterer using it to his advantage. Newsradio sucked when it ended.

yeah, she was great. But Ryan was pretty good on that show too. All characters actually.

Amy Yasbek and Crystal Bernard. :p

Home Improvement was formulaic as hell but they made it work.

I didn’t watch it regularly but I used to watch it quite a bit and what I saw was pretty funny. I always liked Tim Allen, you ever seen Joe Somebody?
