Where does "The Office" and "Seinfeld" rank?

Zoneboy · 09-10-2012, 11:04 PM

The writer obviously never saw any sitcoms that aired on NBC before the 1980's.

The Office? Parks and Recreation? 30 Rock? Community?

Really?! Seriously?!

Yeah, that's true. I would say this is a pretty good list of the past 30 years, though.

I mean, they're the best ever, so yes.

I'm not a big fan of this list though. I'd put Community & 30 Rock higher for sure. I don't know about Family Ties being in the top 5 either. It's a fine show, but top 5 material...eh.

How can everybody be forgetting "Get Smart?" I'd rank that only behind "Seinfeld" in the Post's list ...

Those 4 shows combined are less interesting than watching paint dry. I'm glad The Office and 30 Rock are ending this year. With Animal Practice and Go On NBC is finally getting back to comedies worth watching.

I'd put I Dream of Jeannie and Chico and the Man on that list too. I just put Friends on my list ( even though I hate it) because it was a big hit.

benjamoon · 09-11-2012, 08:04 PM

I think that's a fair list from the last 30 years but it does ignore pre-1980. Of course NBC didn't have many great sitcoms before then anyway.

This would be my list:

1. Friends
2. The Office
3. Cheers
4. Get Smart
5. Parks and Recreation
6. Mad About You
7. I Dream of Jeannie
8. The Cosby Show
9. Newsradio
10. Frasier

tvfreak1987 · 09-11-2012, 08:15 PM

My list:

1. I Dream of Jeannie
2. Get Smart
3. The Cosby Show
4. Night Court
5. Wings
6. Cheers
7. A Different World
8. The Golden Girls
9. The Facts of Life
10. Family Ties

JUST missing: Newsradio, Frasier, Mad About You, 227.
Friends and Seinfeld don't even make my top 100. HATE them.
