This isn't a typo, my #1 (Amos N' Andy) wasn't included and I can't rank a show I've never seen (The Goldbergs)

I generally prefer to use the term "favorites" as opposed "from best to worst." Aesthetic criticism sometimes doesn't cover the situation. For example, I think "Sgt. Bilko" is one of the "best" of the 1950s shows. It has a lot going for it. Amazingly brilliant writing and performances. Yet, a steady diet of the series quickly wears me down. After maybe three straight weeks of "Bilko" reruns, and I always find myself bailing. "My Little Margie," comparatively, is hardly one of the "best." Yet, I can find myself watching it and enjoying it continuously for month after month. It just wears exceedingly well with me, always putting me in a good mood. Ditto "I Married Joan," "Topper," and several others. Anyway, here's my ranking (with "Goldbergs" last only because of lack of familiarity, having only seen a couple of episodes).

Leave it to Beaver
Advs. of Ozzie and Harriet
I Married Joan
My Little Margie
Bachelor Father
The Honeymooners
Father Knows Best
The Real McCoys
I Love Lucy
The Goldbergs

I've only seen a couple of these sitcoms, but I'd pick "I Love Lucy" as my favorite, "Ozzie and Harriet" in which I would like to watch, but I don't care for "Leave it to ******" (I'm protesting right now).
