Talking baby sitcoms feature infants or toddlers with adult-level thoughts or speech, often using voiceovers or special effects to depict their inner monologue.

Sitcoms Featuring Talking Babies

Happy (NBC, 1960–1961)
Live-action sitcom starring a suburban couple and their baby named Happy.
The baby’s thoughts are heard via voiceover narration to the audience.
Early example of the “baby with adult commentary” trope.
Short-lived but historically important.

Baby Talk (ABC, 1991–1992)
Live-action sitcom, based on Look Who's Talking.
The baby narrates and reacts to adult situations through voiceover.
Very direct descendant of Happy's concept.

Dinosaurs (ABC, 1991–1994)
Live-action (animatronic) family sitcom.
The Baby Sinclair talks constantly (“Not the mama!”).
Although the cast are dinosaurs, the format and tone are straight sitcom.

Baby Bob (CBS, 2002-2003)
Live-action sitcom with a CGI-enhanced baby mouth.
The baby speaks directly (to the audience) with sarcastic, adult humor.
Probably the most explicit “talking baby sitcom” ever made.

Family Guy (Fox, 1999-present)
Animated sitcom.
Stewie Griffin is a fully articulate baby and a core character.
Adults mostly ignore or misunderstand him, but structurally it’s still a sitcom.

What's your favorite talking baby sitcom?

Do you know of any other examples?

I voted for Dinosaurs. I loved that show ." NOT THE MAMA" ! :lol:I really wish that would come on TV somewhere in reruns.

I never saw Happy or Baby Bob.

The "Happy" sitcom is rumored to be coming to DVD. I believe the releasing studio is rumored to be MPI, the same studio that just put The Bill Dana Show on DVD. Still just a rumor at this point, no official word yet about Happy.
