What The Hell Does Half Of Those Have To Do With The Topic, I Said Sitcoms, Urgh

[Tweety]

OK, ready?

1990s
1) Seinfeld
2) The Simpsons
3) Married With Children (went on too long, though)
4) Mad About You (also went on too long)
5) Wonder Years (listed as a sitcom on these boards)

1980s
1) Cheers
the rest of these were ok, but again, went on too long
2) Night Court
3) Cosby Show (went on way, way, way too long)
4) Family Ties (w.o.t.L)
5) Facts of Life (w.o.t.L)


1970s
1) The Mary Tyler Moore Show
2) The Odd Couple
3) The Brady Bunch
4) All in the Family
5) The Jeffersons

1960s
Impossible to pick, too many great shows
I had to leave out the Addams Family, Andy Griffith, Beverly Hillbillies, F Troop, Family Affair, My Three Sons, Petticoat Junction, Mr Ed...

1) The Dick van Dyke Show
2) Get Smart
3) Green Acres
4) Hogan's Heroes
5) Gomer Pyle, USMC

(IMO, the best decade for sitcoms, by far)


1950s
1) I Love Lucy
2) The Honeymooners (C39 only)
3) Burns and Allen
4) Leave it to Beaver
5) Father Knows Best

There were other good shows during the 50s, but these are almost the only ones that have gotten any air time at all over the last 30 years or so.. even Burns and Allen only had a (very) limited # of episodes shown on TV Land a couple of years ago... but the eps they showed were so good, that there's no question that this show was definitely on a par with Lucy and the Honeymooners...
