OMG, Im sorry..but what is so freaking good about Seinfeld?!?! ARGH!! And Friends??!! Im sorry, but the only one that deserved #1 was Lucy. And Raymond is a LOT funnier than Friends!!

MBFTfan · 09-23-2002, 01:38 AM

Let me just say that I am THRILLED to see Family Ties on that list!!!!!!

Always good for a debate when they have shows listed this way.

I never thought 'The Jeffersons' or 'Friends' was very funny so I would elimiinate them. Never saw 'The Larry Sanders Show', so I have no opinion on that.

Surprised that 'Taxi' is at #9...a good show, but rated a little high IMO.

I would fit 'Leave it to Beaver' in there somewhere and also 'Newhart' (the one from Vermont).

'Seinfeld' was a great show and although #1 may be debatable, I have no problem with the rating.

What say ye all!

I agree with the Friends, but I think the Jeffersons is funnier AT TIMES than All in The Family. I dont like how they put shows like Sex & The City as one of the funniest when it hasnt been around that long ya know? I agree with a lot of those, even though they might not be all my favorites. I always thought Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was pretty funny....maybe #25, or a close 26. Happy Days is my favorite, but my 2nd fav. Laverne & Shirley was a tad funnier at times-more physical comedy.

I wouldn't say these were the Top 25 Best. No way.

Czas na Zywiec · 09-23-2002, 06:49 PM

Uh, Simpsons over Lucy? That makes sense.

Will and Grace Fanatic · 09-23-2002, 07:16 PM

I think Will and Grace and Roseanne should have been in the top 10. And Taxi should have never made that list. By the way Friends deserves to be number 8 on the list. They didn't finish being the number one show last season because they were unfunny.

yeah, maybe in YOUR view of things. I bet other people like myself will say otherwise: Lucy over Simpsons. Go Lucy!

I thought Friends was a decent show the first three seasons; after that the girls turned into Airheads and guys started acting like a bunch of pansies, especially Ross. It doesn't matter where the show finishes, IMO it's not a funny show; annoying yes, but funny? NO! Not everybody has to think alike.

Penny Lane · 09-24-2002, 02:13 PM

Seinfeld #1?! I just don't get it!
