I'll try to list a few favorites for me that haven't been mentioned yet....

Father Knows Best
Leave It to Beaver
Batman (the live action '60s show, which is sort of an action show, but might as well be a sitcom- it's good either way.)
Charles in Charge (one of my all time favorites from the '80s)
Small Wonder
Full House (LOVE this series- seen most episodes many times over)
Happy Days (LOVE this series!)
Laverne & Shirley (LOVE this series!)
Mork & Mindy (LOVE this series! - okay, I'm probably gonna wind up doing that on all of these, so I better stop that- lol)
ALF
The Muppet Show
Family Matters (I know it ran mostly in the 1990s, but it did start in 1989)
Doogie Howser, M.D. (same deal- though this is kind of a dramedy)
The Greatest American Hero (okay- it's a superhero show and I generally look at it a bit more seriously... but it's meant as a comedy- it's really a parody of superheroes in many ways- in any case, well worth the watch if you enjoy superheroes at all)
(Of course, with that last argument's reasoning, I could also recommend The A-Team- though again, I take show a little more seriously, but it was also created as a parody of sorts.)
Sledge Hammer! (okay- this one is also sort of an action show, but it's definitely a sitcom- a half hour long show that totally lampooned tough guy heroes with big guns, like Dirty Harry and Hunter. Fun '80s show.)
My Favorite Martian
The Addams Family
Gimme A Break!
Welcome Back, Kotter
Taxi
Day By Day
Valerie (aka Valerie's Family aka The Hogan Family)
Silver Spoons
Night Court
Punky Brewster
Growing Pains
The Courtship of Eddie's Father
Out of this World
The Beachcombers
The Cosby Show
Chico and The Man
The Golden Girls
Just the Ten of Us
The Brady Bunch
The Brady Brides
The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet
