I dont have a top 10,here are my favourites.

Whos the Boss
The Facts of Life
Alf
The Golden Girls
The Cosby Show
Punky Brewster
The Wonder Years
Three's Company

Couldn't *quite* make a top 10 ;)

Archie Bunker's Place ('79-'83)
Married with Children ('87-'97)
Police Squad! ('82)
WKRP in Cincinnati ('78-'82)

Dude! Married With Children aired in 1987 (late 80's), and ended in 1997 (late 90's). Married With Children is however considered as a 90's sitcom, not 80's.

10. ALF
9. A Different World
8. Perfect Strangers
7. Diff'rent Strokes
6. Newhart
5. The Facts of Life
4. Family Ties*
3. Night Court*
2. The Cosby Show*

**** - God, NBC Thursdays must have been heaven back in the day.

A Different World was on Thursday's too. Fall of '86:
8:00 Cosby
8:30 Family Ties
9:00 Cheers
9:30 Night Court

Then ADW came along the following year, in the Family Ties slot. You're right, Thursdays were heaven.

My two most favourite words... 80's and sitcom!!!

1. Punky Brewster
2. Small Wonder
3. Facts of Life
4. Golden Girls
5. Who's The Boss

7. Perfect Strangers
8. Kate & Allie
9. Double Trouble
10. Diff'rent Strokes

1. Cheers
2. Bosom Buddies
3. Night Court
4. Married... With Children
5. Gimme a Break
6. Perfect Strangers
7. Family Ties
8. Sledge Hammer

10. Too Close for Comfort

I wish we could have a huge poll to collate all the Top10's. I remember i loved Gimme A Break too though can't remember specific episodes too well. It's on quite a few Top10's so I'll definitely get the dvd when it's eventually released.
