1. Flo
2. Mork and Mindy
3. Frasier
4. Mama's Family
5.Joanie Loves Chachi
6.Gloria
7.Phyllis
8.Checking In

I agree except for MORK AND MINDY/ LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY

I can't go either way for Frasier because I only seen one episode, so I am not one to judge whether it's a good spin-off or not. Apparently it was a hit show so it must have had something good to offer. I did like the one episode I had seen.

I'm surprised you out of all people would like MORK AND MINDY since you were in your teens when it premeired on ABC. Now if you were 6 or 7 when it came out I would say ok I understand but you were in highschool during M&M's run on ABC

I liked it because it was Robin Williams that made me watch. He was (and still is) hilarious. Seeing him do his "thing"...i had never seen anyone act so crazy and funny at the same time. It was a "cute" show to watch. I don't think I could watch it now if it were in syndication. It jumped the shark when Jonathon Winters showed up as the baby. He was funny, it just seemed the show was starting to lose its steam by then.

I liked him better the two times he was on Happy days, for some reason he turned WACKO when he got his own show

The only reason L&S wasn't higher because some eps were watchable because of Happy Days cast members appearing on the show. And M&M wasn't number 1 because Penny Marshall and Henry Winkler guest starred in the pilot-lol

Easy, it had ties to a great show in Mary Tyler Moore.

Have you ever seen the episode of "Phyllis" where Mother Dexter gets married? That was one of funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

Frasier should not be anywhere near this list. It is an extremely well written and funny show.
