The worst US import I ever saw here in the UK (and shame on Sky for buying it) was definitely 'Full House'.
'Friends' also sucks. It is so popular here too and that saddens me a lot!
The worst of our own sitcoms (and boy, what a list of candidates!) has to be 'Bottle Boys' which was an 80's series. Truly awful.

I know we are all different and don't always laugh at the same things but I'm amazed at shows like 'Cheers', 'Roseanne', 'Beverly Hillbillies' and 'Ellen' appearing in people's lists above.

James, I kind of liked Three's Company....

Me too. It's funny how your favorite show can be one other people dislike. Personally, I am amazed that Friends has been picked by some people. I think this show is hilarious! I do have to admit the last few seasons haven't been as good (but I still enjoy watching it).

Some of y'all's picks shocked me a little bit.
First off, James, I respect people's opinions, but, you putting AITF on that list was a very unwise thing.
Also, I disagree with some people saying Alf, Who's the Boss, Family Matters, Green Acres, Three's Company, Petticoat Junction and Cheers
I DO agree with the rest of them

Well I think many of today's sitcoms suck, like Friends, among others.

i think i'm a little to young to think this old humor is funny (50's sitcoms) it's just like watching a horror movie from my parents time..it scared the hell out of them but i'm bored to death, i guess i have a weird sense of humor.

I have to disagree (respectfully) on the following shows: Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies; Cheers, Married with Children; Friends (although I think it's sucked for the past few years) All in the Family, and the Brady Bunch...I liked those shows (at least I don't think they sucked from day one)...AITF was great for the first 2 or 3 years, but then went downhill.
But, I totally agree with Laverne & Shirley, Full House, Webster, Three's Company, Rosanne, Happy Days, Who's the Boss and ALF. Also, I would like to add:
WKR(A)P in Cincinnati
Barney Miller
Silver Spoons
Taxi (I know a lot of folks will disagree with me on this one, and that's ok...it's just that I absolutely hate everyone that was on this show, especially Tony Danza...I like Danny DeVito in the movies, however).
Of course, we could add a lot of shows that had a brief run and were quickly cancelled (Delta House, which I never watched, but you just KNOW that one sucked)...but I'm thinking more along the lines of fairly long running sitcoms that sucked from day 1.
I'm sure I'll think of some more. Bye for now :-)

Gotta disagree with WKRP. Never has there been an episode I didn't laugh at. I do agree with L&S, 3's Company, and Roseanne.

How can anyone say Roseanne be said as sucky all the way through? That's absurd. That's like saying Married With Children sucked all the way through. Of course, the sitcom had it's low points, but it didn't simply SUCK. Now, if it's something like Becker we are talking about, that's a different story...

Tv shows of today suck, I think!! freinds is really getting on my nerves!! I don't care if the network can't afford them!! Let em' go, they aint my pales!! but in respect to everyone we all do have different taste!! so it depends on what floats ur boat!!

Thought of a couple of others -
Welcome Back Kotter
Mork & Mindy (especially looking back on it)
Almost any 90's sitcom (except Seinfeld, of course)
Golden Girls (Rue M. as a sex symbol???? Gimme a break)
Dawsongirl - I probably was a little harsh on WKRP - I do know a lot of folks who still like that show. The only thing is, with the exception of Loni, I hate every individual that was on that show (regardless of how talented they might have been). I don't know what it is about them, but I just hate 'em. Same with the cast of Taxi, Barney Miller (and Fish, if you wanna throw that in while we're at it)...
I'll think of some more later...bye for now :-)

are you nuts, THE GOLDEN GIRLS is one of the most classic, wonderful truly innovative and classy shows every made, that's like saying that, I love lucy wasn't funny or that Hill Street Blues wasn't critically acclaimed, or that saved by the bell was written by genuises. GET REAL! GOLDEN GIRLS ROCKS!

The worst television series ever:
WORKING, the Fred Savage wannabe-sitcom.

That show is a disgrace to all sitcoms ever created.
Here's my list in order from worst to...well, still pretty bad:
Full House
Growing Pains
Who's The Boss?
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Family Matters
Gimme a Break
Moesha
Sister Sister
What's Happening?
Titus (No one's mentioned this one yet. I simply hate it!)
---plus anything that's on the WB (except Sabrina, which I love) and UPN

Well, the shows that I think sucked all the way through are:
Happy Days
Taxi
Hogan's Heroes
M*A*S*H
Full House
*Almost all of the sitcoms that started in the 90's (there are a few exceptions, like Fresh Prince, Home Improvement, Spin City and Seinfeld)

I respect everyone's opinions, but I
don't see how the following episodes
"sucked all the way through":
- Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
- Roseanne
- Facts of Life
- Saved By The Bell
- The Cosby Show
- Full House
- Golden Girls
- Beverly Hills 90210
Most of these are classics or most popular from the 80's and 90's. All of
these shows were a success and still are
to this day. That's just my opinion though!

I disagree with the following, many of them vehemently so:
ALF

Andy Griffith
Barney Miller
Cheers
Cosby Show
The Facts of Life
Family Ties
Get a Life
Gimme a Break
Golden Girls
Good Times
Green Acres
M*A*S*H
Married with Children
Maude
Roseanne
Taxi (the only time I can stand Tony Danza)
227
Webster
What's Happening
WKRP in Cincinnati
I strongly agree with Who's the Boss, Growing Pains, Saved by the Bell, Friends and Full House.
I thought the Brady Bunch was just an average show; watchable, but not very funny.
May I add:
Malcolm in the Middle (of making me intensely sick; unworthy of following My Mother the Car let alone The Simpsons)
(S)Will and Grace (gays and lesbians should be embarrassed by it)
Wings (of all the junk USA network has shown...)
NewsRadio (good cast, poor writing)
Dukes of Hazzard (this is what happens when blood relatives conceive children together)

Thank You! Thank You! You summed it up for me! Friends is not in my top 50 and I am being honest about that. Today's shows are going down the tube.

Well I am not into friends. Too many sexual references on there. 3's company does the same thing too but friends is more of "who's sleeping with who". 3'company is one of my favorites. Friends does have some funny scenes, but I'm not really into it, though.
