Which show do you like the most and why? and which one is the better of the two?

pandora_spocks · 03-08-2003, 12:28 AM

Although, I love both shows I picked TMTMS. I guess because I like the storylines better and the fact that Mary Richards is looking for Mr. Right, and lets not forget those parties!

Well said, Holly! Same here. Both shows are incredibly well written and deserving of the acclaim they've gotten over the years. I really think it comes down to personal preference.

Right, you are! I hate choosing though because I love both shows so much and they both have their good qualities and of course I have my favorite episodes from both.

Please don't make me choose. On any given day my answer would be different. They're my (interchangeable) #1 and #2 favorite shows of all time. I declare a "tie"! (Whew! Wormed outta that one!)

Leigh Ann · 03-08-2003, 02:35 PM

I already stated my reason on the DVD board. But, I can't choose between the two. I love them both equally. I've been a fan of both shows all my life.

Fred G Cleaver · 03-13-2003, 05:25 AM

well i picked MTM becuase i didnt really like the dick van dyke show becuase i found it to silly most of all buddy and sally they were just dumb and DVD didnt really have any plots to them which MTM did and unlike the DVD show MTM had some serious charaters in it

Brady Fan · 04-21-2003, 04:18 PM

WEll I think that they're both great shows but I vote for MTM.

spunkygirl · 05-05-2003, 12:39 AM

They're both great shows, but I like the Dick Van Dyke show alot more! I can't get enough of the Dick Van Dyke show on TVLand.

ClesStahn · 05-22-2003, 08:32 AM

These aren't my two favorite sitcoms, but they're both still great, and I can't choose, heh.

Brady Fan · 07-30-2003, 11:39 AM

Well I like both of them a lot but if I had to pick I think I"d have to pick TMTMS.

dandelion wine · 08-02-2003, 12:05 AM

The Mary Tyler Moore Show! The Dick Van Dyke Show is great too, but I just prefer MTM, especially when you have Ted Knight and Ed Asner.

Crimson and Clover · 08-02-2003, 12:08 AM

BlueEyesKid · 08-05-2003, 08:17 PM
