Default Top 10 ABC sitcoms of all time?

What shows would you rank as the top 10 ABC sitcoms of all time?

I have to think, some shows I like but not sure what network they originally aired on.

If you can't think of 10 then how about 5?

If the network were going to do a countdown, it would most likely include:

Home Improvement, Three's Company, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, Bewaitched, The Brady Bunch. and maybe Ellen, if only because her coming out was the most groudbreaking thing to happen on tv, at the time. They would probably include one of the pieces of crap they have on the air now, also, just to make viewers think they're still iwht it. Roseanne would also be in there, probably at number one considering all of the back-slapping going on over thw show in the last two years.
