Best years on TV besides the 70's and the 50's IMO !!

Favorites!!!

Petticoat Junction
Green Acres
Flintstones
Family Affair
My three sons
Hazel
Mr. Ed
Bewitched

My Gosh I could go on and on!!! SO many good ones and SO many that I sorta liked!!

And back than I really have to think about bad ones?

There really weren't many really bad Sitcoms back than!

Two that I can think of off the top of my head that didn't really appeal to me would be Hogan's Heroes (was that 60's or already 70's? ) and I dream of Jeannie !

The best comedies is a different list than the ones that have been the most popular over the decades so here are three lists, the best, the ones I think are most popular (how often have they been run in prime time slots) and my personal choices:

The best (objectively speaking):

1. The Dick Van Dyke Show

2. The Andy Griffith Show (the final three seasons were terrible)

3. Bewitched (This series has the TAGS problem)

4. Green Acres

5. Get Smart

6. The Beverly Hillbillies

7. The Flintstones

8. The Munsters

9. My Three Sons

10. Hazel

The most popular in syndication (I admit this list is somewhat anecdotal):

1. The Andy Griffith Show

2. Hogan's Heroes

3.Gilligan's Island

4. Green Acres

5. Bewitched

6. I Dream of Jeannie

7. The Munsters

8. The Flintstones

9. The Dick Van Dyke Show

10. Get Smart

My list:

1. Green Acres

2. The Andy Griffith Show

3.The Beverly Hillbillies

4.The Dick Van Dyke Show

5. I Dream of Jeannie

6. My Favorite Martian

7. Get Smart

8. The Munsters

9. Bewitched

10. Mr. Ed
