This is a thread where I take all the sitcoms from each decade according to Sitcoms Online and place them in order of favorite to least favorite. This includes only shows I’ve seen enough of to be able to judge fairly.

Shows I either haven’t seen or seen enough of that will not be included in my list…
AfterMASH / The Charmings / Check It Out / Day By Day* / Double Trouble / Down to Earth / Flo / Frank’s Place / Harper Valley, PTA / Hooperman / House Calls / It’s a Living / It’s Your Move / Joanie Loves Chachi* / Love, Sidney / My Secret Identity / My Sister Sam* / The New Gidget / 9 to 5 / Out Of This World / Private Benjamin / She’s the Sheriff / Three’s a Crowd / Throb / We Got It Made
