All of them are awesome shows but I like "Perfect Strangers" a little bit more than the others. I wish some company would release a complete series set of "PS"!

My absolute favorite show from the 80s is "Mama's Family" so I guess I really should've chose the 'other' option. Oh well...

I consider 'Roseanne' a 90's sitcom, so I'm going with Family Ties.

My choice, Perfect Strangers. I watched each week without fail, the show always made me laugh.

I consider Roseanne the best sitcom of the '90s.

Family Ties and Cheers were probably "the best" of the '80s. But my personal favorites were Three's Company, The Facts of Life, Diff'rent Strokes and Growing Pains.
