You can only watch sitcoms from one decade for the rest of your life : What decade do

[LUNCH]

The 1970s closely followed by the 1960s.Counting TV and music together, I consider the 1970s entertainments greatest decade.Again closely followed by the 60s.It was also a very good decade for movies along with movies made during the 1960s,50s and before.

I pick the 1960s.

A good variety of sitcoms, westerns, cop shows, drama.

[Tubehead]

my top would be
1960s & 1980s!!

Bewitched ended in 1972.

But I would say...the 1990's. And if anything, I'd tape some of them as well...especially the one-year wonders!

Second...the 1960's...because those sitcoms were campy.

Third...the 1980's...since shows returned to the 1950's and 1960's standards.

Fourth...the 1970's...they had a lot of real situations that many have endured.

Fifth...the 1950's...I Love Lucy was in that decade.

Never...2000's and beyond...most sitcoms now are...meh...

Still, it's considered a 60's sitcom, not 70's. And if I had to just have the 70-72 episodes to watch I wouldn't be too thrilled since I feel the best episodes were with Dick York as Darren, and especially the first 2 seasons.

Well...Bewitched peaked in the 60's. The Dick Sargent Era was when the show was dwindling. Is it like Cheers being considered an 80's show though it ended in 1993 or The Facts of Life an 80's show too though it started in 1979?

My feeling is when shows straddle 2 decades, you go by the decade it had more seasons in. Facts of Life did start in 79, but only the first 4 episodes aired before 1980, so i'd definitely call it an 80's show, but technically speaking, it could be called 70's I guess since that's when it was conceived.

An exception to this I think would be Friends which I feel can be argued as both a 90's AND 00's show since it aired for half of 2 decades. Same with Frasier too.

Had Bewitched aired till say 1974, then I would call it both a 60's & 70's show.
