[HomerJay]

First off, my definition of a sitcom is one that's shot in front of a LIVE studio audience and there are only 3 or 4 basic sets (an apartment, coffee shop, tavern, etc.). Therefore, I don't consider THE SIMPSONS, M.A.S.H. or CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM to be sitcoms.

1) Seinfeld
2) Cheers
3) All In The Family
4) The Mary Tyler Moore Show
5) The Honeymooners
6) The Bob Newhart Show
7) The Cosby Show
8) Friends
9) Frasier
10) Taxi

You are aware that this is what's killing the sitcom? Scrubs, CYE, The Simpsons (when "on form"), Family Guy, Spaced and The Office are some of the best comedys in 10 years, at least.

[Huzzah!]

Damn

I forgot the job too. What else can i lose


drew carey. Dump him for The Job

[StoneGold]

Eight is Enough and Two's a Crowd. Because I felt like being lazy and witty at the same time.

[Copper]

No mention of:

I Love Lucy
The Honeymooners
Dick Van Dyke?

[StoneGold]

No mention of:

I Love Lucy
The Honeymooners
Dick Van Dyke?
I hated Lucy! They should have killed her off along with the old bag and that Cuban refugee and just had a show about Fred Mertz, call it Fred's World.


And Dick Van Dyke was mostly good because young MTM was hot.

1) Seinfeld
8) Friends


Ever seen those two shows? Friends had 4 basic sets just for the apartments of the main characters.

[StoneGold]

Ever seen those two shows? Friends had 4 basic sets just for the apartments of the main characters.
Which four? Because you had the guys' main room, and the girls' main room, and occasionally, if rarely, went into Monica's room or something. Rarely if ever went to Ross' apartment, at least early on when I was still watching.

The truth is, 3-4 sets can be kind of cramped. I mean, while most of the sets were supposed to be in the same house, the Cosby Show had the living room, the kitchen, the master bedroom, a room for each of the kids, Cliff's office, with certain seasons getting a semi-regular set like the rec center. And I don't think anyone would say that the Cosby Show wasn't a sitcom.

And the live studio audience is a bad thing for it to, because I'm pretty sure that makes shows like the Bob Newhart Show not a sitcom. There was a period in the 60s and most of the 70s where shows were taped not live. I believe Happy Days was the first to reverse that.

[Joe Rice]

It's a different list if we're talking about best or if we're talking about my favorite. If we're talking best, it's probably

1. Seinfeld
2. Andy Griffith Show
3. M*A*S*H
4. Arrested Development
5. Taxi
6. Cheers
7. Frasier
8. The Cosby Show
9. I Love Lucy
10. Mary Tyler Moore

If we're talking my favorite, it's more like

1. The Andy Griffith Show
2. Arrested Development
3. M*A*S*H
4. Taxi
5. Frasier
6. The Cosby Show
7. Cheers
8. Scrubs

And I don't know for the last two. I kind of hate TV, despite all this.

"NOT the Mama!"

[jessecuster]

No order except #1

1. Sports Night - I thought this was one of the most intelligent shows in history, the dalogue moevd really quickly and they never once pandered to the lowest common denominator. The oddly placed laugh track also made this show great.

5. The Honeymonners
6. Parker Lewis Can't Lose
7. Andy Richter Controls The Universe
8. Curb Your Enthusiasm
9. Newsradio

Cant believe no one mentioned Freaks & Geeks. Man that show was great. To bad it got cancelled before people came around to it.

[Huzzah!]

"NOT the Mama!"

Im the baby. Gotta Love me.


Fucking hated that show.

I remember one epsidoe where they were going to throw the kid off the edge of the world and walked all the way around, which is pretty stupid

[Devon C.]

*sigh* You have to admit, it is better than most of the situation comedies airing in this millenium. :rolleyes:

[Joe Rice]

Freaks and Geeks is one of my all-time tv favorites, but it was not a sitcom. It was an hour dramedy.

[Huzzah!]

The only thing i liked is when they were cancelled they went out with a bang and killed all the characters

[Dark Soul # 7]

Freaks and Geeks is one of my all-time tv favorites, but it was not a sitcom. It was an hour dramedy.
Yepp it would´ve made my favorite shows list but it´s not a sitcom.
Stupid people for canceling a brilliant show like that.

And I remember Dinosaurs, It´s kinda funny.

[Phoney Bone]

10. Everybody Loves Raymond
9. Night Court
8. Three's Company
7. Good Times
6. The Jeffersons
5. Sanford and Son

3. The Andy Griffith Show
2. All in the Family

#1 One Day at A Time

http://www.sitcomsonline.com/photopost/data/731/15585ae_1_b.jpg

The one-two punch of Valerie Bertinelli's ass and the AWESOMENESS of Schneider trumps everything else.

[SteelTownr]

Eight is Enough and Two's a Crowd. Because I felt like being lazy and witty at the same time.

Well, at least you were lazy.

[SteelTownr]

Here's my list:

Seinfeld
All in the Family
M*A*S*H
Cheers
Green Acres
Frasier
Sanford and Son
Good Times
That 70's Show
WKRP in Cincinatti

Seinfeld's the best and the rest are tied for second. I'm with Homer Jay on the definition of sitcoms, else Reno 911, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Simpsons and Ali G. would make the list. Ali G. makes me laugh so hard I almost piss my pants.

Green Acres should get more love, that show is way too much.
