Of all the sitcoms that are usually referred to as "Best Sitcom Ever"... - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Cosby Show

I voted Friends

LucyCompanyPhan · 06-27-2005, 06:59 PM

I Love Lucy without a doubt in my mind with Friends as a close second. I Love Lucy was a landmark for sitcoms that followed for its comedy but Friends in my opinion was the first show to acually blend comedy perfectly into an actual 10 year story.

Joker85 · 06-27-2005, 08:24 PM

out of those, I like Cheers, Friends, Seinfeld, and I Love Lucy. and I agree, Mary Tyler Moore should definitely be in the running for best sitcom ever. Never was a fan of All in the Family, Mash, or even the Andy Griffith Show though.

I Love Lucy without a doubt!

Superstar · 07-01-2005, 04:19 AM

I like Friends best out of that list.

Raisingdad2004 · 07-01-2005, 04:21 AM

Friends, with Cheers in a close second. Although, if Fraiser was up there it would have beaten Cheers.

Nighthawk76 · 07-01-2005, 04:28 AM

All in the Family

Zebra 3 · 07-01-2005, 04:09 PM

All in the Family is my all-time favourite sitcom. It really had it all, great cast, scripts, relevancy, realism...you name it, it rules.

Mikado · 07-12-2005, 07:14 AM

Theres no other show in history that combined all elements of story (both comedy and drama) , politics, characters , pop culture ( disguised as the 1950s ) And just plain giving you something to think about , than M*A*S*H , for that reason, it has to be the best comedy of all time... If the Q were romantic comedy, my answer would have been Cheers, and in overall lasting power, i dont think ANYTHING will ever surpass I love Lucy ( 55 years and still going strong !

) trivia byte : I love Lucy was a TV adaptation of Lucy's radio show "My Favorite Husband"

I like the Facts of Life, but that wasn't listed

It make you wonder if all sitcoms were popular because it was actually good and funny(Ex:I Love Lucy,Dick Van Dyke,Green Acers,Good Times,That Girl),or popular because they were top rated(Ex:Rosesane,Cosby Show,Steinfeld,Friends)?!?Just because a show might have been in the top 10 doesn't mean that everyone liked it.There been many sitcoms that the so-called experts swear I"m watching when in fact,I can't stomache the show!It also seems to me that we are throwing around the title of "Best Sitcom Ever" to any "flavor of the moment" show.Being top rated shouldn't be a reason to called a sitcom "the greatest ever"!It must cross all lines,beloved by both Black and White,Hispanics,and all other races out here,and by all age groups.Just because one group like that sitcom doesn't mean that another group liked it.We need to be more careful when it comes to saying that a sitcom is "the greatest ever" until all the votes are in.

It's obvious you just have a stick up your ass about any series that aired in the 80s or 90s. I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show were both Top 10 series, must be trash.... right?! And those are the only two that you consider "good and funny" that would even come close to being considered the best sitcom ever.

Here we go again!I did not meant to apply that 80's or 90's sitcoms were wrost than anything that were on 50's,60's,and 70's.Believe me there a few sitcoms even I didn't like from that era.All I was trying to do was make a point about top rated vs popular sitcoms,and only used thoes shows for example;NOT to give an opinion one way or another about how I personally feel for 80's/90's show.To everyone surprise,there were a few that I liked;very few.And for your imformation,I DO NOT have a stick stuck up my "behind"!Just because I'm not "brainwash into loving every sitcom isn't a reason to call names.

A show would have to be top-rated to be considered popular.
