Between two good and similar show's where anything strange can happen and unexpected can happen in the 30 minute sitcoms which Sitcom would you prefer to watch Fantasy Island or The Twillight Zone ???

Have you ever watched these shows? Fantasy Island was 60 minutes and Twilight Zone was 30 except for the 4th season which was 60 and neither were sitcoms.

I don't see anything remotely similar about the shows outside both having fantasy elements.

But, I do prefer The Twilight Zone.

Yeah but both show's had a little humor in it, Fantasy Island had both humor and mystery in a few episodes this show was close to being a sitcom.

Law & Order has some humor at times too, but I wouldn't call it a sitcom. The humorous moments help the pace of the story and gives dark and suspenseful stories a needed light tough at times. That doesn't make it a sitcom.
Sitcoms are generally traditionally aired in a half hour block with a focus on the comedy that arises from particular situations. I don't see that focus on Fantasy Island- that show for me is much more of a fantasy show that sometimes has some comedic elements.
