Default Which do you prefer: Home Improvement, Roseanne or The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?

When "Home Improvement" hits Nick at Nite, it will be a battle between these three shows for the most time-slots (face it, "The Cosby Show" is basically done on Nick at Nite).

I think that "Home Improvement" will win just because "Roseanne" and "The Fresh Prince" have been on Nick at Nite longer.

Anyway, out of these shows which do you prefer?

Personally--

I use to watch "Home Improvement" all the time when I was younger and I'd catch an episode of "The Fresh Prince" every now and then, but I never got into it -- but in the past 2 years I've really gotten into "Roseanne".

I pick "Roseanne" just because it was a groundbreaking show that was one of the first sitcoms to show women being in control of their own lives, portrayed a reaslitc family -- dealing with reaslitic and controversial issues and it paved the way for gay characters on TV. Plus, the dialoge was witty, clever and well-written and the acting on "Roseanne" was phenomenal -- the best out of any television show, minus Becky #2 .

I don't care for any of them, but if I absolutely had to choose one I'd go with Roseanne. I find Home Improvement way too corny and I outgrew Fresh Prince quite a few years ago.

I voted for Roseanne, of course. I love Home Improvement, I think Fresh Prince is OKAY, but Roseanne is the best of the 3.

I used to love Home Improvement, but I don't like it as much now. Not really a fan of the Fresh Prince, either. I still love Roseanne, though, so that's my choice.

WHOA! I couldn't have said it any better myself (minus that Becky #2 comment, LOL).

Roseanne is my pick as well. It`s just a WAY, WAY, WAY better show then the other 2.

What I'm curious about is "If" Home Improvement does become Nick at Nite`s next big hit, will Roseanne be what The Cosby Show is to them now? (The Cosby Show is playing 3rd fiddle to Roseanne and The Fresh Prince now, so will it be the new "3rd fiddle", while Home Improvement and The Fresh Prince take the spotlight?....Hhhhmmm.....)

Home Improvement is so funny and I just think it is the best show of the 3.
I never really got into Roseanne that much and The Fresh Prince of Belair is so overplayed that I'm not really into it anymore.

Have you noticed what shows in the lead and what show hasn't gotten any votes at all? LOL
