[Sitcomwriter]

Aside from "South Park", "Ren & Stimpy" and "Kukla, Fran and Ollie" (all of which I don't consider sitcoms), it'a a pretty normal list. Although, "Sports Night" and "Family Guy" should be on there but, as I said, it's a normal list and I like "Spin City" as much as the next guy but before "Friends"?

[TVFactFan]

That's a dumb list. BOSOM BUDDIES?

[TVFactFan]

Wait a minute, Different strokes, what's happening, an good timesis on the list adnot THE JEFFERSONS?????????????

[TVFactFan]

I didn't know My So Called Life was a sitcom and how did Operation Petticoat get on any list?

[dandelion wine]

The Love Boat...?

[Pentimento]

I give absolutely zero credibility to a list that includes Ren & Stimpy while omitting The Dick Van Dyke Show.

[Mrs. Ducky]

"Ren and Stimpy" beat "Three's Company"! That's like saying you'd rather eat dog s*** over ice cream!

[Dean Winchester]

why does everyone hate Ren And Stimpy now? That show paved the way for all the "adult cartoons" out now just as much as The Simpsons did
