These are not Black sitcoms

Jeffersons
Benson
Different Strokes
Gimmie a Break
Cosby

They were TV sitcoms that featured Black characters as the MAIN characters of the show

That Dosen't Matter I Ment Any Show That Had Black Actor In The Lead Role.
The Cosby Show Is A Black Show And It Still Had White Actors Recuring GuestStar.
Cosby Had A All Nearly Black Cast. And It Doesn't Matter As Long As The Show Have Black Character In The Lead Role. Like The Jeffersons. So Just vote

Chef

Among my favorite dramas was South Central -among the best acted dramas ever on TV. I really liked the Nancy Walker show - well ahead of its time. Alien Nation was is my absolute favorite SciFi show. Fawlty Towers is considered by critics as the best sitcom ever (and is among my favorites) and it only had 12 episodes. On the other hand Hee Haw was on for over 20 years, but you couldn't pay me to watch it. My tastes just to not match those of main stream America

Brian Damage · 01-28-2007, 06:01 PM

Good Times was the best.

It would have been if Penny never existed but since she did then Good Times is behind Sanford and Son and the Jeffersons-lol

Benson is the best. After that is The Cosby Show and Everybody Hates Chris (which isn't listed)
