1. Benson- my all-time favorite sitcom
2. WKRP in Cincinnati
3. Newhart
4. Family Ties
5. Night Court
6. The Facts of Life

8. Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister

10. Mork and Mindy
11. Cheers
12. Too Close for Comfort
13. Taxi
14. Who's the Boss?
15. Check it Out!
16. ALF

I've always thought of WKRP as a 70s show but it actually aired more in the 80s: one and a half seasons in the 70s and two and a half seasons in the 80s. Edited to include Mork and Mindy, same situation as WKRP. I've never seen Head of the Class but would like to with Johnny Fever starring.
