This was a decade of many amazing shows, so I couldn't fit them all in the poll. What is your favorite sitcom (or two) of the 1970's?

I mean, Three's Company even if the majority of it took place in the 80's. But I'm obviously a big fan of others like MTM, All in the Family, Taxi, Happy Days, and Laverne and Shirley among others. So many great sitcoms in the 70's.

Of the choices in the poll, i'd have to go with Three's Company. I really liked the Brady Bunch, Good Times and Sanford & Son too.

Taxi is my favorite sitcom of the 70s and my second favorite sitcom of all-time.

Some other favorites from the 70s include: Happy Days, Chico and the Man, The Odd Couple, M*A*S*H, Three's Company and Rhoda.

Happy Days, then All in the Family, then Three's Company. Taxi, too.

Well, Happy Days and AITF may be a tie.

I voted for Mary Tyler Moore. Happy Days and M*A*S*H were also possibilities. I haven't seen much of Taxi and Welcome Back Kotter, it would be nice if Antenna picked them up.

Three's Company would be my favorite, but I also love All in the Family, The Brady Bunch, Good Times, Happy Days, The Jeffersons, Laverne and Shirley, Sanford and Son, and one that is not listed, Maude.

I liked them all. :lol:

I'd go with Three's Company and then AITF and Happy Days.

Happy Days is #1 for me. After that would be a sitcom that isn't on your poll list (and why is that, I wonder?) and that's "The Partridge Family". Overall, I would rank them this way:

1. Happy Days
2. The Partridge Family
3. The Brady Bunch
4. Laverne & Shirley
5. Mork & Mindy
6. Welcome Back Kotter
7. The Odd Couple
8. Three's Company
9. The Mary Tyler Moore Show
10. Soap

If we're talking about shows we love now, then my favorite would be the Brady Bunch. I don't think I became a fan of that show until it came on in syndication. But as for shows I watched back then, I'd say Happy Days is my favorite followed by Laverne and Shirley and then Welcome Back Kotter

I grew up after the 70s but have watched reruns of some of these. The Brady Bunch was a favourite as a kid and was on TV for re-runs pretty often during that time, so I got to watch a bit of it. M*A*S*H would probably be second in this list.

Tough choice but I voted for Laverne & Shirley. I pretty much like all the ones listed as well as WKRP, Barney Miller, Rhoda, The Bob Newhart Show & The Partridge Family which didn't make the list.

I thought you said we could vote 1 OR 2 sitcoms? I would've voted Three's Company AND The Jeffersons but it only let me vote 1.

Since i could only pick one, I went with my all time favorite show " Three's Company". One of just a few tv series on dvd i HAD to have and have the entire run. all 8 seasons, waited til all the seasons were relased and bought them all. Also on that list would be Happy Days a close 2nd and mash third. all the others i can take or leave. I want the entire season sets of Happy Days and Mash too. I know Happy Days are not all out on DVD. Theres a few other shows on there i like as well,but those ones i would be satisfied to just tape the series off tv to dvd, dont like them enough to spend the money on dvd sets. Over all i think the 70s were the best year for tv shows. comedy and crime drama cop shows

It's a specific type of humor that not everyone likes. Even Lucille Ball said she hated AITF!

Wow!! I can't believe that All in The Family wasn't #1 and I thought it would be. I'm going with Sanford and Son, Laverne and Shirley, Happy Days and Threes' Company.

Hmm- 1970s sitcoms that I like......
(in no particular order)

Happy Days (LOVE!)
Laverne & Shirley (LOVE!)
Mork & Mindy (LOVE!)
Three's Company (LOVE! This show makes me laugh so much.)
Welcome Back, Kotter (LOVE!)
WKRP in Cincinatti (LOVE!)
The Mary Tyler Moore Show (LOVE!)

The Jeffersons (the funny thing is- I loved watching this show as a kid- and I still enjoy it now when I can catch it- but I've never been a fan of "All in The Family" though I have seen some of it here and there- I'm not saying it's bad; I get that it's meant to poke fun at Archie's bigotry and such- I just never really got into it.)

Sanford and Son
Good Times
The Bob Newhart Show
Barney Miller (recently got into watching the show on DVD and now LOVE it!)
Taxi (I've seen this recently on classic TV channels and DVD and VHS and I have gotten into it.)
Diff'rent Strokes (LOVE!)
The Facts of Life (LOVE!)


(other '70s sitcoms I haven't seen yet but I think I would enjoy or at least would be interested in seeing)
Fish
Mr. T and Tina
Blansky's Beauties (particularly want to see the episode featuring Laverne DeFazio's character)
Out of the Blue (particularly want to see Mork's appearance on this show)
Rhoda
Phyllis
Maude (just interested to see this one- not sure how much I like it from what I know of it)
Gloria (just interested to see what it's like)
Carter Country (curious about this one)
