None of the sitcoms from the 1960's appeal to me. THere is not one sitcom from that decade I like. Looks like I would have been miserable if I came along during the 60's.

I like sitcoms from every decade.

But the 50s would have to be the worst IMO.

All I would really like would be I Love Lucy, and the occassional Leave It To Beaver.

The 60's

50 and 60s. I liked AITF and The Jeffersons from the 70s and for the Jeffersons 80s as well as some others. 90s by far was the best.

The only sitcom from the 50's I like is the Honeymooners. I was recording eps of the Honeymooners at the age of 9.

I like sitcoms from every decade but the 90's were the worst.

I really don't watch sitcoms from the the 60's, but I watch them when there is nothing else on.

I cant say that I have a decade of sitcoms that I dont like. I at least like 3 from the fifties and the Dick Van Dyke show from the sixties. All the shows from the 70s and 80s, I grew up with them. In the 90s, I watched more drama shows like Law & Order and NYPD Blue. So...I can not really speak on sitcoms of the 90s. Most of the shows on now are for the children. Definitely not geared towards the 30+ age range.

I like something in every decade...but I guess I could say the 80s.

Probably the 50's. Only sitcoms I like from that era are 'I Love Lucy' and 'Honeymooners'.

I like at least one sitcom from each decade. The decade that is my least-favorite for sitcoms is the 1990's or 80's.

I'd have to say the '50's as well. Other than the occaisonal Leave it to Beaver, I don't really watch any shows from that decade. I watch at least one sitcom from each decade '60's-90's.

Personally,I like several shows from each decade from the 50's through the 90's,except for reality shows.

The early sticoms could do 25 minutes on nothing and be funny. "Who ate the cookies" could be funnier than 2 girls fighting with/ove one boy or vice-versa.

:wave: In my view, some shows I enjoy from each decade include:

1950's: I Love Lucy, Father Knows Best, Honeymooners, and Leave It To Beaver.

1960's: Dick Van Dyke, Bewitched, I Dream Of Jeannie, Andy Griffith, and Dennis The Menace.

1970's: Mary Tyler Moore, Odd Couple, Happy Days, Rhoda, Laverne & Shirley, and WKRP In Cincinnati.

1980's: Facts Of Life, and Family Ties

However, the 1990's are weak. Except for Home Improvement, I can't get into any others. Many of today's sitcoms are just terrible (with the exception of 8 Simple Rules.)

50's and 60's.

The 1950's and the 1990's...

I'd have to say the sixties. Nothing from that decade appeals to me.

I like some sitcoms from every decade. However, the current decade is the worst in my opinion.

Everyone seems to bash the 1990's but that's probably my favorite decade for sitcoms (Thanks to NewsRadio, Ned & Stacey, Ellen, Boy Meets World, Wings, Step by Step and Get a Life). The 70's were great but at that time every other show was groundbreaking, and it just made me sick to my stomach. I only like a few shows from the 1980's (Perfect Strangers, ALF, Taxi). I like the 1960's for such shows as: Mister Ed, Car 54, The Monkees and The Munsters. And I like the 1950's for: I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, Leave it to Beaver, Life of Riley and others.

The only shows I like from the current decade are:

The King of Queens
Less Than Perfect
Reno 911
8 Simple Rules
A Minute with Stan Hooper

Wow! What a depressing thread this is to read. I am floored that so many of you are listing the 50's and especially the 60's as a decade you don't like any sitcoms from. It just boggles my mind that anyone could feel that way.

The 50's gave us arguably the most reknowned sitcom of all time, "I LOVE LUCY", so that alone should have kept any of you from naming it. Of course, when you add other well known classics like "LEAVE IT TO BEAVER" and "FATHER KNOWS BEST", it's clear that the 50's were a wonderful decade!

And the 60's were easily the greatest decade ever for classic sitcoms, so any pick of that time is even more baffling. If one only considers "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW" (which btw, blew away the competition recently with its Reunion special - showing it's still very popular) and "THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW" then there is no way it could be picked as a poor decade. These shows have stood the test of time and will continually be classics.

Now, if one wants to talk about poor decades, one need only consider the last several years to see that this present decade is a bust! Yep, it gets my vote for giving us not one, and I mean not one, decent sitcom.

B&W "the 60's were awesome with all the great sitcoms that came out during that time" fan

The worst decades are the 50s and 60s. Those shows are all black and white (mostly) and boring. All I have to say is P-U!!!

As for the 40s, I didnt even know tv was around then. So I cant judge that decade.

The current shows SUCK!!!!!!! That feeling of homemade comedy is not there anymore. They just try too hard now a days.

The 70s 80s and 90s shows are the best. They dealt with real issues.

I like shows I can relate to. Shows with preppy characters are just frickin dumb.puke:

Current sitcoms suck. I only like really 3 sitcoms(that I watch everyday)

Family Matters
Roseanne
Full House

in that order... I occasionally might watch some other sitcom, but that is it. The sitcoms of today suck.

Current sitcoms are the ones I don't like except "Sex and the City". I like sitcoms from the 50's through the 90's. The 30's and 40's are Old Time Radio sitcoms before TV aren't around back then.

I liked the Andy Griffith and Dick Van Dyke shows, as well as "Get Smart," but yes, the 60's were the worst decade for sitcoms. Think of it - a sitcom about hillbillies who strike oil and move to Beverly Hills? A sitcom about seven island castaways with an entire Hollywood wardrobe on hand? A sitcom about a female genie and her astronaut master/lover? A sitcom about a witch and her mortal husband, played by two guys named Dick - Sargent and York? (Hey, Sergeant York! Paging Gary Cooper! :lol: )

There's a reason why the sixties were such a great decade for popular music - it was a terrible decade for televison sitcoms! The sixties kids wisely turned off the TV when Ed Sullivan and Jimmy O'Neil weren't on and went out and bought Beatles and Stones records! They went to Woodstock and heard Hendrix play "The Star-Spangled Banner!" The one good thing you could say about the Baby Boomers is that they were not a "My Mother The Car" crowd! :D

I like sitcoms from every decade but the 90's were the worst.Ya I like stuff from the 50s thru the 90s (Nothing after 90s (All rubbish))

I'll go decade by decade to figure this out....

Likes

1950s- Leave It To Beaver, I Love Lucy
1960s- Beaver?
1970s- Three's Company, Sanford & Son, Are You Being Served, Jeffersons(?)
1980s- Too many to list
1990s- Too many to list
2000s- The Office, Arrested Development, (early) My Name Is Earl, Parks & Rec(?)
2010s- Umm.....Parks & Rec?

So 1960s or 2010.....I'll go with the 2010s because I actively avoid most of the contemporary sitcoms I see advertised. At least I can use the "well, I wasn't alive to see that stuff" excuse for 60s shows.

That's easy: the 1940s. Simply because 40s shows are never syndicated, so I have no idea what any of them are like. The 50s has a few good ones: I Love Lucy, Ozzie and Harriet, Bachelor Father, and Leave it to Beaver. That's about it, although there are probably several I haven't seen compared to other decades. Father Knows Best and The Honeymooners are overrated. I also saw I Married Joan once, that's proof that older is not automatically better. 60s, 80s, and 90s have several of my favorite sitcoms, they would be the best decades. 70s have a few good ones but like I just said in another thread I don't care much for Norman Lear and Three's Company. And 2000s on have been weaker for sitcoms compared to dramas, unfortunately the vast majority of today's sitcoms resort to crude sexual humor all the time. :rolleyes:

2010s

for me, i haven't enjoyed sitcoms as much since around about 2003 onwards.

i preferred the 1980s and 1990s sitcoms, and though i wasn't born in the 1970s, i enjoyed some sitcoms such as the jeffersons, good times, taxi and what's happening!!.

Same here! ;)

To-date, the 2010s.

But who knows what the rest of the decade will bring (although I could make a very educated guess).

2000 to now

I guess it would be the 2000's to today. Probably because a lot of the characters are written so snarky and sarcastic to the point that they are not enjoyable or likable, or they've become nothing but internet pop culture memes that quickly got tiresome.

EXACTLY!!!! That is what I think too!;) Characters of these days are not as likable as they were in the old days! :(

2000's and up. It's just not funny. I only watch the ones on Family channel when babysitting my niece (Canadian version of Disney, they air all the Disney channel shows).

This one. Malcolm In The Middle, Even Stevens and Married To the Kellys are about the only things that redeem the previous decade. I can't remember anything that stands out for me from the 90s either, come to think of it.

I guess 2000s to today, but there really isn't any one decade where there aren't any sitcoms I like. Even from the last decade and a half there's still a few I like, such as How I Met Your Mother, Mike & Molly, The Big Bang Theory, and Modern Family.

2010's, except for The Big Bang Theory

Thank you! That was very well said! There's not much I can add to that except to say that if you can think of shows from the 50s and 60s that aren't very good---and serious viewers will tell you there weren't many---they are still far better than anything that we see on the networks today. If the prime-time network sitcom isn't yet dead, last week's premiere of "One Big Happy" might have put it in a serious coma.

Ya I like stuff from the 50s thru the 90s (Nothing after 90s (All rubbish))

I must say, this is the first time I've ever witnessed a 12 year old forum thread getting bumped. :lol:

I'm sitting here thinking to myself "What the hell are these people talking about? Family MAtters and King of Queens aren't from this current decade...!!!", and then I spot the dates. :happyface

I like a lot of shows from the 50's-90's, after that it started going downhill. Now I avoid watching all but a couple of shows and they are older shows.

Ya your quite right about that Patty!

I would say the 1940's. I don't find the Goldbergs' all that entertaining.

EXACTLY!!!! That is what I think too!;) Characters of these days are not as likable as they were in the old days! :(

Well, Darin #2 wasn't all that likable.:rolleyes:

I am a time traveler from the year 2015; if you think the sitcoms in 2003 are bad, then you ain't seen nothing yet! ;)

I guess I would say I'm not too fond of 90's sitcoms since I was going through my teenager phase and didn't exactly have the best of times in high school that there weren't that many shows that I could escape to, well I guess maybe The Simpsons and Married With Children.

No doubt...the 2000's and beyond. The characters are cynical and not likeable...I even try to get into TBBT since I know someone who like the show, but Sheldon can be a ***** and It's a Chuck Lorre Productions...the one who gave us Two and a Half Men!

multicamera sitcoms and sitcoms in general have gone into a direction that i don't relate to, nor resonate with me. it's the format that i struggle with.

The dumb son character shtick is getting old.

2000-present.

There aren't any new sitcoms for 2015-16 that I'm interested in.

There is no decade where I don't like ANY sitcom. I will say this current decade (2011-2020) is the weakest but it also includes a couple of my all-time favorites (Community, Parks & Recreation).

In my earlier post, I was complaining about the then current decade. That was in 2003 and I had problems with sitcoms then. I didn't get to like that decade until later on but those first few years were quite upsetting to me.

Looking back at the thread from 12 years ago, the question should have been

"what decade had the least appealing sitcoms?"

And since I only like 3 from the 1960's that would be the decade

I like about as many '60s sitcoms.

Sitcoms from 1980 and forward generally do not appeal to me.

Most of the sitcoms I like are from the 60's.

The 70's for me was a so-so decade for sitcoms. Some shows I like, others I don't.

Sitcoms I like from the 50's are: Amos & Andy, Honeymooners (classic 39), Leave It To Beaver. Bachelor Father is OK sometimes, not a big favorite though. I think I Love Lucy is overrated, I honestly don't see what the fuss is about regarding that show. Some episodes are OK, but overall the show doesn't appeal to me. I prefer Lucy's 60's sitcom The Lucy Show.

Never seen the Lucy SHow

Never seen the Lucy SHow

If you get a chance, give The Lucy Show a try, maybe you will like it. The 1st season is OK, but I think the show hit it's stride in season 2 when Gale Gordon joined the cast. Lucy and Gale had great screen chemistry together, they share many funny moments together in the episodes. Lucy had better screen chemistry with Gale Gordon, compared to the screen chemistry in I Love Lucy with real life husband Desi Arnaz. Lucy and Desi did have their good moments together on screen, but there usually seemed to be a little something off with the two of them, so I'm not surprised they ended up getting divorced.

Not sure, but there are some episodes on you tube. Video quality is only fair, but better than nothing I guess. Lucy Gets Trapped is a funny one, try checking that one out.

The Lucy show seemed like a whole different show in the beginning seasons and the later seasons. They start out in black and white in a small town in New York state with Vivian Vance . And end up in color in Los Angeles with Mr. Mooney/Gale Gordon ! I like the later seasons better , but I kind of miss Viv though, but it was great when they brought in Gale Gordon!!

Gale Gordon was the perfect foil for Lucy, the two of them had excellent on screen chemistry. The Lucy Show did lack something once Viv left, but I think Mary Jane Croft stepped in and did a decent job filling the role. Not as good as Viv, but adequate.

2010 onwards

2010 onwards

I would say 2000 on.
They all seem generic and unfunny with a few exceptions.

With the exception of Bewitched the first 5 years, the rest of the 60s, forget it.

I agree, although overall I think 60's TV is better than 60's music, and 70's music is better than 70's TV.

Even though we're only halfway through this decade, I have to pick the 2010's and I don't see sitcoms getting any better in the near future, unfortunately.

Even though we're only halfway through this decade, I have to pick the 2010's and I don't see sitcoms getting any better in the near future, unfortunately.

The best ones are already gone.

I have liked shows from every decade and I can still say that I do. But I think maybe the 50's might be my least visited though I loved shows like The Donna Reed Show,Dennis the Menace, Mr. Ed back in the old days of Nick at Nite when I was a kid. I still enjoy the 60's and 70's from time to time on occasion. Everything from Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie and The Patty Duke show all the way up to Three's Company, Lavern and Shirley and Good Times. There were a lot of good shows I would always watch reruns of all the time as a kid.
But nowadays I usually can only usually handle 80's and up, on a more frequent basis. To me the 80's was kinda the beginning of the modern kind-of-humor we still use today. Thats when television comedy started to get a little snarky and sarcastic and self aware and bit more closer to actual life.
But I'll always have a place in my heart for every decade of television.

I honestly love sitcoms from the 50's-90's, some are better than others but as a rule, most shows were great back then. After that things went downhill. The shows of today don't do a thing for me. Just my humble opinion.

The only sitcom from the 50's I like is the Honeymooners. I was recording eps of the Honeymooners at the age of 9.
The Honeymooners were crap. Alice was married to a sexist husband. And if I was Alice, I would've left Ralph year's ago

For me its from the 1950s to the early 1970s.

One:2010s
There are absolutely no good comedies on tv as of 2010

Pretty much anything that falls outside the era of multi-cam videotaped in color in front of a live audience isn't going to appeal to me. Okay, so sitcoms multi-cam filmed in color in front of a live audience can work too.

But I really can do without how most sitcoms were made in the late 50s/60s, single cam and in a studio, and most modern sitcoms are done the same way these days.

Only difference is they added in a laugh track in the 60s and they don't do that these days.

Either way, the outcome is less satisfying than multi-cam in front of a studio audience. I like hearing the audience laughter. Comedies with laughter lift my spirits up. Somehow it makes me happier and it feels like a party is going on when there's audience involvement in the proceedings.

One:2010s
There are absolutely no good comedies on tv as of 2010

I've stopped watching all but two sitcoms in this decade.

The Honeymooners were crap. Alice was married to a sexist husband. And if I was Alice, I would've left Ralph year's ago

Another reason why the $10 I paid for that Classic 39 Honeymooners release was a waste of money! I don't know if I could have stood 39 episodes of that (if that indeed was the way it was).

The Honeymooners were crap. Alice was married to a sexist husband. And if I was Alice, I would've left Ralph year's ago
After looking at it now, I agree. It hasn't aged well and it I will avoid it.

Feels like the only sitcoms I could probably watch from the 50s is I Love Lucy and maybe Dennis the Menace. I'm all about wholesome TV, but the shows from that decade are just too wholesome and syrupy sweet for me.

I don't really find myself watching too many 2000s-2010s sitcoms either, except for 30 Rock, unless you want to count Orange is the New Black.

For me its from the 1950s to the early 1970s.So you don't like any black-and-white sitcoms? That's surprising coming from a classics DVD collector like you.

Wow! What a depressing thread this is to read. I am floored that so many of you are listing the 50's and especially the 60's as a decade you don't like any sitcoms from. It just boggles my mind that anyone could feel that way.

The 50's gave us arguably the most reknowned sitcom of all time, "I LOVE LUCY", so that alone should have kept any of you from naming it. Of course, when you add other well known classics like "LEAVE IT TO BEAVER" and "FATHER KNOWS BEST", it's clear that the 50's were a wonderful decade!

And the 60's were easily the greatest decade ever for classic sitcoms, so any pick of that time is even more baffling. If one only considers "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW" (which btw, blew away the competition recently with its Reunion special - showing it's still very popular) and "THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW" then there is no way it could be picked as a poor decade. These shows have stood the test of time and will continually be classics.

Now, if one wants to talk about poor decades, one need only consider the last several years to see that this present decade is a bust! Yep, it gets my vote for giving us not one, and I mean not one, decent sitcom.

B&W "the 60's were awesome with all the great sitcoms that came out during that time" fan

Everyone has personal opinions. Not everyone cares for "I Love Lucy". And the 60s are not the greatest Tv decade. I think you may be looking through rose tinted glasses, but the 60s produced some bad sitcoms just like every other decade. Do I enjoy sitcoms from the 60s? Of course I do. Was it the best for sitcoms? No. Too many sitcoms from the era were outlandish and unrealistic. As much as I love these shows , the ones from the 70s-90s are way better.

With the exception of Bewitched, the 60s.

I forgot the only other 60s sitcom I like is The Andy Griffin Show. Also, the 50s.
