Which one is it and name your top 3 favorite shows of the decade!

1960's!
1) Gilligan's Island
2) The Twilight Zone
3) The Munsters

The late 20th Century(1970s to 1990s)

That was the time for TV's best sitcoms.

The 1970s, hands down. They were honest, topical, hilarious and TOTALLY un-PC. :lol: You had some of the best comedy writers of the time: Danny Arnold, Hugh Wilson, James L. Brooks, etc. Then you also had the best decade of ensemble casts (MTM, Bob Newhart Show, Barney Miller, WKRP, Taxi, M*A*S*H, All In The Family, Alice, etc.).

Occasional Wife

My Living Doll

1. 70's - Laverne & Shirley, WKRP, All In The Family, Barney Miller, Partridge Family
2. 60's - Gilligan's Island, Bewitched, Dick Van Dyke Show, Andy Griffith, Gomer Pyle
3. 50's - I Love Lucy, I married Joan,
4. 80's - Designing Women, Knotts Landing, Cheers
5. 90's - The Nanny, Friends, Seinfeld

i was born in the 80s and so unfortunately, i haven't been around long enough to give a definitive answer! however, out of the 80s, 90s and 00s, i prefer the 90s because for me, in accordance to the shows which have been around that period, there were a lot of good sitcoms. the 00s though has been a poor decade so far for sitcoms, with only two and a half men making an impression, although everybody hates chris has been a hit as well

00s- two and a half men, everybody hates chris
90s- caroline in the city, frasier, the fresh prince of bel air, seinfeld, third rock from the sun, everybody loves raymond
80s- the cosby show, diff'rent strokes, roseanne

The '70's was single-handedly the best decade of television ever. Sitcoms included. The '80's goes down for second.

Not to mention shows like Happy Days and Welcome Back, Kotter, which while they didn't address social or topical issues, were just fun to watch.

Stop stealing my thoughts.

I read somewhere that at one time, CBS had All In The Family, M*A*S*H and Bob Newhart all back to back on the same night. Can you imagine what it must've been like to have watched those great shows first-run back-to-back??

I was around when that happened, but was too young to have known or cared about those shows. Pity. It would be great if TV Land could re-create one of those nights, perhaps with the original commercials and promos.

I totally agree. I was born in 1979, so I grew up with these shows via syndication. I've caught up on others through the magic of DVDs. You forgot that MTM was also in that classic CBS Saturday lineup.

Sorry to keep stealing your thoughts, but I guess it's true that great minds think alike!! ;)

You have a point, my friend.

I remember Bob Newhart being on in the house when I was a youngin, but I never paid close attention to it. It was too much of an "adult show" for me.

Similarly, my Mom loved Barney Miller, but said it was "over my head." I used to grimace and sneer at that remark, but I realize in retrospect she was right.

And I didn't really discover M*A*S*H and All In The Family until syndication, but part of the fun was watching them five nights a week in order to catch up.

The 80's & 90's. The Golden Girls,Ellen,EmptyNest,The Golden Palace.

The 1970s. The 1970s is the only decade where I have Top Ten Sitcoms. Here is my list below of my Top Ten Sitcoms of the 1970s. My list is arranged in the order of which show came out first.

Easily the best sitcom decade was the 70s, for both the large variety and the high quality shows that SAID something!
M*A*S*H
All in the Family
Mary Tyler Moore
Barney Miller
Happy Days......just to name a few

(The clothes , cars and music of that era were horrid, by contrast!)

My absolute favorite decade for sitcoms was the 1980's. I also liked the sitcoms from the 1990's, but I enjoyed the 80's sitcoms moreso than the 90's sitcoms.

80's all the way.
