Best Sitcom Ever?

[ötzi]

Seems like this thread would have been done but a search yields nada.

Maybe we should start with nominees. Off the top of my head, my top tier would have to include:

Taxi
WKRP
Green Acres
Beverly Hillbillies

I think I'd toss in The Munsters or The Addams Family but they'd be at number 5 on that list.

Lots of good to very good shows but I'd have to say that's my top 5/6. Whaddaya got?

[TAFKALVS]

Seinfeld

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

Seinfeld
MTM
Bob Newhart

[BC.]

Misread title.....only one choice:

-Seinfeld

[AK47bp]

Definitely generation specific but mine is.


The Office


Watch reruns everyday and laugh just as much. Even the original British ones are great.

Yeah can't argue with Seinfeld, I was thinking even older ones for whatever reason but Seinfeld does kill.

The Jeffersons

That '70s Show

Jeffersons was pretty funny sometimes for sure. MASH was great but I dunno, top 20 sure. Top 5? Nah. Same with Cheers. Definitely great moments in both though.

[leroy jenkins]

Curb your enthusiasm and It's Always Sunny In Philly are probably tied for first, not just for the quality but the exceptionally long run without descending into not quite as quality.

Not the best pre se but I liked Newsradio.

Seinfeld was good but all the characters could be just annoying to me in anything other than small doses. Sunny and Curb, while equally awful people, manage to not ever annoy me.

[stealurface831]

Trailer Park Boys

and it isn't even close.

[Brownski]

My wife just said Friends.

[GoldMember]

My top 3:

WKRP
Taxi
Cheers

[Brownski]

My picks:
Seinfeld
Curb your Enthusiasm
Cheers
Big Bang Theory
2 & 1/2 Men

I reserve the right to completely change my list if subjected to public pressure and/or mockery.

edit: It’s always Sunny in Philadelphia belongs in there too

[BCMtnHound]

Barney Miller as a kid with Dad
WKRP. But Dad didn't get Dr Fever. Or Les for that matter.
Missed most of the late 80's and 90's - no TV
Trailer Park Boys
Shameless

Not sure if animation counts, but honourable mention is Simpsons, Southpark and Archer

[Core Shot]

Fawlty Towers deserves an honorable mention

Good list, except for twin peaks. Not comedy.

Been binge watching 2 1/2 men. Missed it first time around.

Tried the office, and a few of the modern sitcoms. They just don’t click for me. The camera work is annoying. And most of the humor is just awkwardness and embarrassment. I want more jokes and laughs.

[SkiBall]

Married With Children was one of my faves.
I struggle to rank stuff, so I just stopped. Non-committed I guess.

Seinfeld is clearly at the top.

But yeah, always sunny, curb your enthusiasm, arrested development, and trailer park boys are all worthy of mention.

Only Fools and Horses
Porridge
