The Best Comedy In Your Opinion That Won An Emmy (1965-Today)?

Just what it says...

Dean Winchester · 02-08-2006, 09:12 PM

too hard to choose, there's like five shows on the list I'd choose, I can't pick just one. Those would be Seinfeld, Golden Girls, Ally McBeal, Sex And The City and Taxi

Mr. Television · 02-08-2006, 09:16 PM

All In The Family hands down although theirs a few up there I like.

Johnny S · 02-08-2006, 09:25 PM

Friends all the way... Considering it is my favourite show EVER!

Also I didn't know that Ally McBeal & Murphy Brown won Emmys. That's pretty cool...

Good thread Troop.

I voted Golden Girls and thanks for the comment Johnny...

between Dick Van Dyke, M*A*S*H and All in the Family as my choices I would say All In teh Family was the funniest for more episodes.

Friends was groundbreaking, but Cosby slightly more. I voted Cosby. Love it or hate it, Friends was consistently funny though.

I voted for "Taxi."

How the hell was Friends "groundbreaking"? I'm not trying to be rude, but Friends added nothing to the sitcom genre that didn't already exist.

I voted for the Mary Tyler Moore Show. However, I love Cheers, Taxi, Seinfeld, The Golden Girls, Sex & The City, All In the Family, and Frasier too.

Yea Seinfeld said Friends had copied his show.

It's a really hard decision between Mary Tyler Moore, Friends and Golden Girls.

I meant in terms of worldwide popularity. Shown everywhere and loved by everybody. That sort of groundbreaking.

There was nothing special or groundbreaking about Friends. It was just Seinfeld with two extra main characters and a lot less humor.

Anyway, I voted for MASH. That show is brilliant.
