I thought it would be fun to see which sitcoms are the most liked (or least objectionable) by the users here. So I created a survey where you can rate them, using every sitcom that has a forum here. That's over 400 total which would be very exhausting in one survey, so we'll start with the 1950s. If you're too unfamiliar you can vote N/A, though keep in mind that N/A is on the far right and 10 is second from the right.

Check the bottom of page 2 for the results

Just did it.

I saw that, Thanks.

I completed it just now

7 responses so far, decent start. :)

When do you plan on doing more decades?

I like surveys and it'll be fun to see how they turn out.

10 responses so far (not counting mine). I'm thinking every 4 - 5 days to get as many potential voters as possible.

13 so far. It's impressive how many of you are familiar with so many of these shows, though there are a few that are overwhelmingly N/A so I think it's fairer to just take those out of contention.

60's posted

I just did the 50's and the 60's.

I just did the 50's and the 60's.

Me too! I'm looking forward to the 70s.

60s survey took!

I did it.

I did both '50s and '60s. Will you be reporting the findings on this board at some point?

When every decade up through current sitcoms is done there will be a ranking posted.

Someone has voted over a dozen times from the same IP today. I don't know how they are able to do that, but only your first ballot will count so don't bother duplicating it, I'm paying attention.

70's survey up, check first post.

I just did the 70's one.

Already have 13 ballots for the 70s. So I'll probably post 80s tomorrow, then depending on how fast it feels up the 90s, and then finally combine all the post 90s sitcoms with the current. I'm thinking I'll set all the surveys to close exactly one week from when they post 90s survey is posted.

80's survey posted

Just did the 80's.

I took the 80s survey too.

90s is up!

Only two so far for the 90s, hopefully we can get a few more than that.

Since only two people have taken the 90's survey, I'm just going to post the rankings of all 50's through 80's sitcoms. Shows that received 60% or more N/A votes are at the bottom and without a score.

They don't. At least not on the free version of survey monkey.

Total number of voters wasn't big enough to represent all of sitcoms online.:

50s: 17 voters
60s: 18 voters
70s: 18 voters
80s: 13 voters

I didn't notice a lot of politically correct bias when looking at the individual ballots. Though Hogan did receive 8 ones, 1 four, 5 sixes, 1 seven, 1 eight, 1 nine and 1 N/A.

One Day at a Time votes were spread out through the whole scale of 1 through 10, with 2 N/As.

The Top 5 doesn't surprise me any but it does surprise me that "Mama's Family", "Petticoat Junction", "Green Acres", "The Beverly Hillbillies", & "The Facts of Life" placed so low.

I'm pleasantly surprised that "Nanny and the Professor" made the Top 30 (if just barely).
