vote for two of your favorite sit-com of the 1970's, my vote goes to "Happy Days" and "Three's Company"

Smokebutt · 05-12-2002, 04:32 PM

the 1970's was the groundbreaking of sit-com land, it all began when "The Brady Bunch" was about a two different families living in a same house after their husband/wife pass away or/and divorces from, but "All In The Family" was real reason for this, because it discusses alot of serious issues like homosexual,rape,women's lip,racisim,underage pregnancy and stuff like that, and "M*A*S*H", "Barney Miller" , "Sanford and Son" and
"Maude" began to follow with theses issues with a sence of humor.
"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" focus more about a single woman making her living as a human being.
and "Happy Days" not only took place in this decade,but it took place in the fablious fifties in a nostalliga way.

oh, yeah, "Three's Company" was the first sit-com that talks alot about sex fully.

I voted for All in the Family, Three's Company, Mary Tyler Moore, M*A*S*H, and Sanford and Son...but where's the Brady Bunch...it's one of the most memorible! lol

The best sitcoms of the 70s:
One Day At A Time - First sitcom dealing with a divorced woman making a go at life as a divorced woman raising two children

All In the Family - They said things that we thought but did not have the nerve to go there. Cutting edge for its time. I would love to see what they would do with the show in today's times.

Mary Tyler Moore - Great sitcoms dealing with a single woman and her interpersonal relationships. I am quite sure we all wish we can work at a place with a family feeling.

Mary Tyler Moore.

I'm sorry but I don't think of M*A*S*H a sitcom. Sure It had a laugh trak, but it was also really serious.

Happy Days!
