Default My Favorite Sitcoms: A To Z

Inspired by SitcomsOnline poster CatsRule, who recently posted her own top 100 favorites list, which I found to be an impressive feat, I decided to make my own list but I figured it would be easier to post it in a different format. So what I've done is list my top 5 favourites for each letter of the alphabet except for M which has a top 10 list because there are so many great M shows I couldn't just limit it to 5. Other lists have less than 5 because of weak competition. So here goes:

A

1. The Andy Griffith Show
2. ALF
3. The Adventures Of Ozzie & Harriet
4. The Addams Family
5. All In The Family

B

1. The Brady Bunch
2. Bewitched

Sticking with sitcoms, this is what I've come up with... titles in bold type are shows I haven't watched in years or have only sampled, so can't say if they'd hold up as laugh-fests for me today (in most cases, they probably wouldn't) --admittedly, I'm more of a casual fan of a fairly limited number of comedy shows, rather than an avid fan of sitcoms in general:

A

1. Addams Family, The
2. Amos & Andy
3. Abbott & Costello Show, The

B

1. Barney Miller
2. Black Books
3. Bob Newhart Show, The
4. Bewitched
5. Brady Bunch
6. Beverly Hillbillies, The

C

1. Car 54, Where Are You?
2. Cheers
3. Captain Nice

F

1. Fawlty Towers

G

1. Get a Life!
2. Get Smart
3. Green Acres
4. Gilligan's Island

H

1. Honeymooners, The
2. Hogan's Heroes

I

1. I'm Dickens... He's Fenster
2. I Dream of Jeannie

J

1. Jack Benny Program, The

L

1. Leave It to Beaver

M

1. Munsters, The
2. My Favorite Martian
3. My Three Sons

N

1. Night Court

P

1. Police Squad!

R

1. Red Dwarf
