- "Gilligan's Island" (1964-1967)
- "I Dream of Jeannie" (1965-1970)
- "Get Smart" (1965-1970)
- "Family Affair" (1966-1971)

1970's had:
- "Here's Lucy" (1968-1974)
- "The Brady Bunch" (1969-1974)
- "Mary Tyler Moore" (1970-1977)
- "The Bob Newhart Show" (1972-1978)
- "Sanford and Son" (1972-1977)
- "Rhoda" (1974-1978)
- "Happy Days" (1974-1984)
- "Welcome Back, Kotter" (1975-1979)
- "The Jeffersons" (1975-1985)
- "Laverne & Shirley" (1976-1983)
- "Three's Company" (1977-1984)

Family Ties, etc.

Yep, the 1980's had the best sitcoms out of any of the recent decades, but the 1970's are a close second, imo.
