Here's my order, with #1 being the best....
5. Maude
4. Good Times
3. Sanford & Son
2. All in the Family
and
1. The Jeffersons
Sanford & Son and Good Times are for the most part interchangeable. I can watch more episodes of GT in a row than S&S, because S&S gets so repetitive. But when I do watch them (in proper doses) S&S makes me laugh more.
1) Maude
2) The Jeffersons
3) Sanford & Son
4) All in the Family
5) Good Times
But above them all is Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

1-All In The Family
2-The Jeffersons
3-Sanford And Son
4-One Day At A Time ( Its not on the list but should be)
5-Good Times
6-Maude
All the shows are classics though and even though I ranked Maude last doesn't mean I don't like it.

1 (The Best) - Good Times
2 (The Second Best) - Maude
3 (The Middle Show) - All in the Family
4 (The Second Worst) - The Jeffersons
5 (The Worst) - Sanford and Son
If "One Day at a Time" counts, then it's number 1 and all the others move down a slot.
