Most realistic sitcom? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Overall, I pick Roseanne from seasons 1-8. 9, not so much.

I'd also go with Roseanne and the first two seasons of The Brady Bunch close behind, the kids didn't always get along.

Roseanne, Everybody loves Ramond, and Grace under Fire

Roseanne was probably the most realistic. However, I thought The King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond were also quite realistic as well.

Wonder Years

Brooklyn Bridge

Family Ties

Boy Meets World

(I find these sitcoms realistic, probably because at various points in my life, I can identify with them--the settings and situations, are for the most part--experiential, for many of us, I mean of the 'baby boomer generation. Although Boy Meets World came along later, I can still relate to many of its issues, somehow.)

All In The Family think about all the controversial issues they did,Roseanne would have never been a show if All In The Family Never Come Om The Air

While All in the Family conquered the most important issues of the time, it wasn't so much realistic. In my opinion, it was a show that showed how the times were changing. Roseanne on the other hand, dealt with the same issues as All in The Family, in a more realistic way, if you can understand what I mean.

Uhh, there is such a time-gap between these two shows I doubt what you say is true.

USATVFAN · 04-06-2007, 01:10 PM

i agree it was different time .
but in a way Roseanne could not have done some of the issues if it wasn't for all in the family.
i dont want to cause problem but All In The Family Pushed The Envalope with some of the issues ,Roseanne Pushed it even further.

Oh yeah, how do you forget a show like All in the Family??? They were the first ones to be realistic if you think about it. But what about their spin-off shows? Do you think they would count? Also, Good Times.

Roseanne and Everybody Loves Raymond

All in the family was very realistic, they didn't overly sugarcoat the episodes and there wasn't always a tidy, happy ending.

An 80s Guy · 04-06-2007, 03:46 PM

Roseanne and All In the family are probably the most realistic.

treky · 04-06-2007, 04:19 PM
