In my opinion, the BEST SITCOM EVER IS...

Taxi (1978-1983)

I have many favorites it's hard to choose one as the best, but if I had to make a choice I would say Leave It To Beaver is overall the best. Six seasons of 39 episodes each, 234 episodes total and there isn't really a bad episode in the bunch. You can't get more consistent than that.

I guess my vote would have to go to The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Many great ones but the best is AMOS N ANDY.I have most of the episodes on dvd.

The best sitcom of all time is the one that set the standard that all sitcoms that came after aspire to. It is the sitcom that literally invented many of the production methods still in use today. It's name is I LOVE LUCY!!!!

The one and only "I Love Lucy" is the best sitcom and the best TV show of all time. It will and never will be topped.

That would be my vote.

I think the best sitcom is All in the Family although my personal favorite is Three's Company which I like only slightly more.

I've always thought that many of these well known long running sitcoms (I Love Lucy, Make Room For Daddy, Sgt. Bilko, Andy Griffith, My Three Sons, Donna Reed, Hogans Heroes, McHales Navy, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Mary Tyler Moore, Jeffersons just to name a few) are very much overrated. I honestly don't see much appeal in any of these shows I mentioned. To me, Fred and Ethel Mertz are the best part of I Love Lucy. Those two are funny. Lucy acts just plain silly most of the time, Ricky isn't funny either except when he mangles the english language. I think The Lucy Show was an improvement over I Love Lucy.

I could see I Love Lucy being a lot of peoples favorite but I think for pure funny entertainment, I think Seinfeld has to be ranked right up there. I also think for a dark horse, how about "The Wonder Years"?

dlemond · 05-31-2011, 09:46 PM

I Love Lucy is the best.

WKRP in Cincinnati is my favorite.

Wonder Years is a great show but its not a sitcom by any means.

I Love Lucy isn't my favorite but its the best.
