I want you to rank these shows from most to least of all four in Quality, Replay Value, Agelessness, Humor, other factors not mentioned. By the way, I haven't set up polls. Below are my examples. Write your own.
Quality is based on writing, acting, directing, etc.
Taxi
Frasier
Three's Company
Married... with Children
Replay Value is based on the feeling to ever watch all, if not most, episodes again and again.
Taxi
Married... with Children
Three's Company
Frasier
Agelessness is based on references, structure, fashion, stories relating to today's world, etc.
Three's Company
Frasier
Taxi
Married... with Children
Swapped Taxi and MWC because... as I said, MWC quickly aged. All of them have repetitive style and references about characters themselves, but I picked 3's Company as better aged... well, due to '70s and '80s style, great replay value, and basic, simplistic stories ever made.
Humor is based on laughter, especially out loud.
Married... with Children
Three's Company
Taxi
Frasier
OTHER NON-LISTED FACTORS:
Great Syndication Value is based on current distributors' enthusiam toward airing shows on off-net syndication and viewers' enthusiam and such:
Frasier
Married... with Children
Three's Company
Taxi
That's because I'm basing it on KDOC's schedule and how it fares well on today's off-network television. It even have MWC once per day and Frasier twice per day. Other shows are no longer available on my area. I wanted to put MWC above Frasier, but... I don't know. Well, cable could count, but I did not based on it.
Mass Appeal is based on appealing old shows today and the way that shows provide:
Three's Company
Frasier
Married... with Children
Taxi
I'm missing other factors. You can insert your own factors not listed above. You're probably thinking, "Two sophisticated shows against two other broad comedies? What were you thinking?" However, somehow, even "great" shows are hard to watch today because... you feel depressed when watching it.
For example, FRASIER is depressing to watch, even if humorous and lighthearted, while THREE'S COMPANY is a silly, yet very heartwarming show that inspired FRASIER. MARRIED WITH CHILDREN quickly aged due to fashion (look at tacky women's clothes and hairdos; THREE'S COMPANY does better than that) and '80s and '90s references, like Oprah or Roseanne (well, they'll be remembered until when?), but some episodes stand out very well. TAXI, while very great for me to watch again, has gotten too old, too sad, and too heartaching for everyone else nowadays. Its humor is silly for current masses, especially when it involves Jim or Latka. The visuals looks bad if a station uses old tapes (haven't seen a DVD yet).
EDIT: If factoring all shows is too complicated for you, you don't need to factor them. In fact, try simply reviewing each in at least one paragraph or two... or more.
