What shows would you rank as the top 10 ABC sitcoms of all time?

I have to think, some shows I like but not sure what network they originally aired on.

If you can't think of 10 then how about 5? :)

If the network were going to do a countdown, it would most likely include:

Home Improvement, Three's Company, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, Bewaitched, The Brady Bunch. and maybe Ellen, if only because her coming out was the most groudbreaking thing to happen on tv, at the time. They would probably include one of the pieces of crap they have on the air now, also, just to make viewers think they're still iwht it. Roseanne would also be in there, probably at number one considering all of the back-slapping going on over thw show in the last two years.

Tough to narrow it to 10, but I'll try:

1. Three's Company
2. Perfect Strangers
3. 8 Simple Rules
4. What's Happening!!
5. Hooperman
6. Family Matters
7. Step by Step
8. Leave it to Beaver
9. Bewitched
10. The Brady Bunch

Noteables: SOAP, Welcome Back Kotter, Happy Days, The Ropers, Three's a Crowd, According to Jim, Hope & Faith, George Lopez, My Wife & Kids, Thunder Alley, All American Girl (the sitcom, lol), Home Improvement, Boy Meets World, Dinosaurs, Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, Too Close for Comfort, Mr. Belvedere, Webster and the last season of Diff'rent Strokes. I have more but that's enough...

(I went overboard...)

Mr. Television
06-22-2004, 08:30 PM
1- Three's Company
2- Happy Days
3 Laverne And Shirley
4- Growing Pains
5- Perfect Strangers
6-Family Matters
7- Who's The Boss
8- Welcome Back Kotter
9- Too Close For Comfort
10- Benson

I would put , Soap, What's Happening, Roseanne, (the first 6 years at least) Full House, Home Improvement,Coach, Taxi, Step By Step, Mr. Belvedere, Head Of The Class, Barney Miller, The Odd Couple, 8 Simple Rules, Hangin With Mr. Cooper, and Bewitched in my top 25. God ABC had a lot of sitcoms I loved.

Yeah, that's the one. The baby would get hit the dad over the head with a pan and shout "Not the Mama, not the Mama." It was a funny show, with a very sad ending. I'm hoping it will come to DVD soon.
