Out of these workplace comedies, which 5 are your favorites?
-The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970-1977)
-Barney Miller (1975-1982)
-Alice (1976-1985)
-Taxi (1978-1983)
-WKRP in Cincinnati (1978-1982)
-Cheers (1982-1993)
-Night Court (1984-1992)
-Wings (1990-1997)
-NewsRadio (1995-1999)
-Spin City (1996-2002)
-Just Shoot Me (1997- )
-Working (1997-1999)
-Andy Richter Controls the Universe (2002-2003)
My Three Are:
-NewsRadio (In my opinion, the best sitcom ever made.)
-Andy Richter Controls the Universe (The only show of the millenium that I've really enjoyed.)
-Wings (I'm actually glad it's coming to N@N)
-Taxi (For me, the original workplace comedy, I use to love watching it back in the mid 90's on N@N)
-Night Court (It's a funny show with a great cast.)

The first 3 are in order but the last 2 are toss-ups. Why didn't the ohers make it? Here are my reasons (feeble though some of them may be):
Alice-
I watched it when it originally aired, but I could take it or leave it. (Mostly because I could never understand the appeal of Linda Lavin.)
Andy Richter Controls the Universe-
Never saw it.
Spin City-
Only saw a few episodes - it never really "grabbed" me.
Working-
Kind of funny and offbeat. Can't compare to the rest, though.
WKRP in Cincinnati-
Had one of the funniest episodes of all time ("As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"). As a whole, I thought the series was very uneven and seemed "cut-rate".
Wings-
Had its moments but rang a little hollow and sometimes seemed forced. (Sorry, I can't explain it any better than that.)
Just Shoot Me-
Cast and characters were interesting. Otherwise see: Working.
Night Court-
This was a toughie. It came sooo close to making my "Top 5". I simply felt I could relate more to Cheers and NewsRadio.

Alice, Taxi and WKRP in Cincinnati are the only ones on that list I even bother to watch.
