Brian Damage · 11-26-2003, 11:24 AM

The 70's and then the 80's

Brent88 · 11-26-2003, 11:29 PM

90's!!!

Family Matters
Roseanne
Full House
Cosby Show(ok so it's not THAT great to most people)

I do like some 70's and 80's sitcoms

All in the Family
The Jeffersons
Amen

Anything before that I can't get into.

Most of the current sitcoms suck.

Well, my signature says it all! WHY? because back then, I was practically being raised by TV.

The 70s and the 80s!

Zebra 3 · 11-28-2003, 10:01 PM

Many of my favourite shows come from these two decades, with my all-time favourite All in the Family starting in 1971. I find the 70s culturally is best, with so many creative types who then took their craft seriously, be it music, film, or television.

I picked the 70s but the 80s was good also...

I would love to be able to watch these shows IN ANALOGUE again as I did then!!
