I voted for my favorite popular ones (Golden Girls, Designing Women, Facts of Life), but also gave a vote each to "Double Trouble" and "We Got it Made". Two very short lived shows that somehow (God know how) still stick out in my memory 35 years later.
In hindsight, they were probably terrible shows, but at the time they aired I loved tuning into them.

Too Close For Comfort!!

Too Close For Comfort is one of the top 5 funniest sitcoms EVER but doesn't get appreciated hardly AT ALL!

You can put the first 3 seasons of Too Close against the first 3 seasons of ANY show it sitcom history & Too Close is at least as good if not BETTER!

Out of curiosity, I went to You Tube and they have the entire pilot episode there. Don't know if you can put links here but if you want to see it just enter "We Got it Made tv series" in the search box and it comes up. I'm going to watch it and see if it's any good all these years later.

Also, a pre "Hunter" Stephanie Kramer was part of the cast.

My favorite decade for sitcoms is probably the '70s, '60s a close second.

My favorite '80 sitcom is ALF.

I tried to like this show but no matter how hard I try, I just find him annoying.

Why do you find him annoying though?
