a show that has really surprised me and jumped up my list is King of Queens. i never watched it in its original airdate, just watch it on Tv Land. but i find it hilarious and very good.

1. Married with children
2. Cheers
3. King of queens
4. Sanford and Son
5. Seinfeld
6. Happy Days

probably more but those jump out at me. i watched Married w/Children reecntly and surprised how well it's held up.

[HeatChamps]

I could really cut it down to Cheers and Seinfeld. Everything else is second tier.

[Venti Quattro]

The only ones I currently watch:

I've never seen a laugh track/live audience sitcom that I didn't roll my eyes to every other fucking line EXCEPT for Everybody Loves Raymond. That was the one show that wasn't animated that I actually enjoyed watching with my parents growing up

Does the Simpsons count as a sitcom? GOAT show for me.

Animated situation comedy, so I think yeah it still counts.

[AntiChrist]

"The Middle" is a really funny show.

[Sportcamper]

The Honeymooners…

Seriously, we need Avante to learn some of you about taste….

[Sportcamper]

The Middle Rocks!...Rocks...

I see what you did there. there

Avante passed away during a tragic and strange sex act with a minor 2 weeks ago :(

SRS? I would have agreed if the show went off the air after 1998, but 1999-2013 it has been unwatchable.

I'd say up until 2003, after that it's been pretty bleh - they've already done everything :lol

I just can't believe how bad Simpsons got. A dropoff is always inevitable with a show that runs more than 4-5 years, but to go from the best show ever to worse than King of Queens or that Charlie Sheen show?

[Jacob1983]

No love for ALF?

Seinfeld
Cheers
Newhart
The Office
Modern Family

It's funny though...at the time when Cheers was on, I thought that was the funniest shit in the world and I'd watch it anytime it came on. Then the same with Seinfeld...watched all the reruns. Now I can't stand those shows. I'm wondering if I'll feel the same way about The Office in 10 years.

Fully agree on Cheers, while it's spinoff Frasier is still pretty funny in reruns.

Frasier was great. I forgot about that one. Maybe a case where the spinoff was better than the original.

HIMYM used to be awesome

It has been shit during the last 2 years though .... lazy writing

[Venti Quattro]

HIMYM has been stale since they decided that Barney should marry Robin.

[lefty]

Yup

What made Barney special was his single man lifestyle
They killed the best character of the show

[jeebus]

I just can't believe how bad Simpsons got. A dropoff is always inevitable with a show that runs more than 4-5 years, but to go from the best show ever to worse than King of Queens or that Charlie Sheen show?
Two and a half men started out ok but fell off a cliff after a few seasons. Then after Sheen had his meltdown and made the show on FX...have you seen that shit? It's not funny. I didn't even do an inner smirk at any of the jokes.

Sheen made the show.

Charlie Sheen IS Charlie; he was basically playing himself

The other thing that made the show shitty was when the kid grew up; he wasnt funny anymore

And they have also overplayed the "Alan is a loser" angle

Bertha should have her own show, though.

[jeebus]

The other thing that made the show shitty was when the kid grew up; he wasnt funny anymore

Here's what he would do in like season 5.

enter into shot

ask someone to drive

leave

10 minutes later

enter into shot

ask someone to pull car out of garage

leave

rinse and fucking repeat for the rest of the show.

A part of me died when Scrubs ended. I dont count that last season at the school. To me the show ended when JD walked down the hall and saw all of those patients thoughout the series.

This is one of those shows that you have to watch from the beginning to really enjoy because there are so many little inside jokes as the seasons move along that you wont get.

[Clipper Nation]

Obvious picks:
Seinfeld
Scrubs
Arrested Development
Curb Your Enthusiasm
The Simpsons (pre-2000)

Other favorites:
SportsNight
Community
Malcolm in the Middle
Home Movies

Everybody Loves Raymond actually had some hilarious episodes, but too hit-or-miss for me to really count it as a favorite, tbh....

[leemajors]

For me, it was the Skinner/Arman Tamzarian episode. It was so terrible I didn't want to watch anymore.

[Fpoonsie]

Topanga FTW.

My God. Yes.

Completely agree. They ended that show perfectly (with the screen mapping out the rest of his life to that Peter Gabriel song), before that "Med School" abortion.

[UZER]

My God. Yes.

I watched half of the first Med school episode and turned it off. I refused to let it ruin the real way the show ended.

The music was a great part of the show. It wasn't always there, but when it was, it always fit the scene well. Loved Teds rendition of Hey Ya. Very different, but well done.

It was fantastic. It was actually a cover of Obadiah Parker's version. Refreshing.

Nice. I'll have to check that out.

The real shark-jumping moment was the episode from Season 12 with Homer and the panda, imho....

[Leetonidas]

Forgot about Malcolm in the Middle, that show is so underrated imo it was funny as fuck and I loved it because there was no laugh track. Bernie Mac Show was another hilarious one I forgot about, I miss when FX used to show Malcolm and Bernie Mac one after the other in the afternoons :depressed

[Chief Brody]

Mr. Show
South Park
The League
The John Larroquette Show
The Larry Sanders Show

[baseline bum]

For me, it was the Skinner/Arman Tamzarian episode. It was so terrible I didn't want to watch anymore.

And then they had a chance to right things with the movie and it was just another Arman Tamzarian episode, except this time there was boob lady and a shot of Bart's prick.

[JoeTait75]

Mr. Show

Love Mr. Show, but is it really a sitcom?

No, I disregarded the OP and just listed my fav comedy shows, tbh.

Married with Children
Three's Company

[cigar guy]

Mad about you

[leemajors]

Been rewatching Cheers on Netflix , on s4 now. Dunno wtf you guys are talking about, Cheers is top 3 w/o question tbh, and I haven't watched this shit in at least 15 years.

In addition, Frasier should never have been referred to as a spin-off - his brother was his character from Cheers more than he was. Old man stole the show in that one.

I was more an Eddie fan tbh, though Roz isn't too bad to rub one out to.

Married with Children is also good shit.

Lori Loughlin man

Even the porno version of it was hilarious

A Different World just to see Marissa Tomei tbh

A Different World with Bonet may have been GOAT tbh, Kravitz would have offed himself

It was epic tbh

King of queens us underrated imo

[spurraider21]

King of queens us underrated imo
thats when i turn the TV off, because TBS always shows that after Friends

South Park and Friends for me

[UZER]

King of queens us underrated imo

True, def underrated. Never thought stiller could play a different character from Mr costanza, but he does and is funny as shit in this show.

I love going back and watching shows as an adult now and catching all the sexual innuendo*that I missed as a kid. Home improvement is one of those shows. As a parent now, you can relate to code word jokes about sneaking a quickly, or waiting for the kids to go to bed.

[baseline bum]

King of Queens is stupid. A fucking UPS driver has his own expensive house in that nice ass part of Queens? Bullshit.

[mavsfan1000]

Malcolm in the Middle fucking owns. And Still Standing is the best underrated show. It's on youtube.

[dbreiden83080]

I love Archer right now..

It's not that "expensive." A 1 bedroom that requires the old man to live in a half basement. His wife works too, in a prestigious law firm.

This sitcom took off once Stiller was permitted to ad lib his role. Toward the end of the run the husband & wife actors got lazy, as did the production team, but, Stiller never deviated.

[Thread]

Married with Children is also good shit.

Once the mother left (lost her baby) it dragged in those seasons becoming near untenable to watch.

Married With Children went downhill once Bud started getting laid, and then the blonde kid was the nail in the coffin. But I just like to pretend those seasons never existed and only watch the good years.

& it is easy to do that with that particular show. It was herky jerky with no sustainable line.

I'll tell ya one of the best was when they went down to Lauderdale on spring break. GD, that fuckikn' show. Bundy breaks that tennis racket over the black guys head. And the racket is bent such. "I didn't want ta do it. But ya made me. Now look at ya." LMAO!!!

Lol next door to Lou Ferrigno no less

On the flip side, I always wondered why the Jeffersons considered their apartment to be "deluxe". It was tiny.

... yet Weezie was still not able to clean it by herself and needed a live in maid

Shit...it may not have been huge but that had to be damn expensive. And what better way for a niggra to show he's made it than by having his own black maid?
Nah...George Jefferson doing things like a boss.

Neh. A real boss would have made that lazy ass Florence answer the front door or gtfo.

fuck. that's part of what made the show funny. so he hires a black maid but she so lazy that that he has to get his own door. and she always eaten the good food from the kitchen.
