TOP 5 SITCOMS EVER!!!

Recommended Posts

Guest JangoFett4Hire

Here are mine, in no particular order...

 

All in the Family

Cheers

Simpsons

Newhart

Seinfeld

 

I debated on whether or not Simpsons qualified as a sitcom... but

I gave it the benefit of the doubt. I left off Wonder Years because I

felt it was more Dramedy than sit-com...

 

Your choices?

Simpsons is a Prime Time animated series :) but we all know that the Flintstones owns all.

Simpsons will always be a sitcom in many peoples eyes. Most people stopped looking at them as an animated show years ago, even though they are.

The Simpson's

Bob Newhart

Dick Van Dyke

Seinfeld

Andy Griffith

 

A special mention to The Rockford Files which isn't a sitcom, but just as funny (in a good way) than most sitcoms on TV.

1) Seinfeld (At least once per show, I laughed out loud.)

 

2) The Wonder Years ( This show really touched me, as it felt so much like my life, I never missed it, and still love to watch it to this day.)

 

3) The Andy Griffth Show (Still stands the test of time to this day, in showing that a wholesome show can still be awesome.)

 

4) Sport's Night (Does this one count? It's one of the greatest things I've ever watched period, have it be TV, film, anything.)

 

5) All In the Family (I wish we had stuff like this around today. It held nothing back, and was truly emotional at times.

 

6) Cheers (To me it was like two different shows. Pre-Kirstie, and Post-Kirstie, and I loved both era's.)

 

7) I Love Lucy (I can't leave this off, so it MUST be listed.)

Only show on EVERYBODY'S list is The Simpsons...and I can't say I can argue it.

 

In no real order...

The Simpsons

That 70's Show

Married...With Children

Police Squad

Father Ted

 

I would've included South Park, but I'm pretty sure people still consider more of a mature animated series (even if the last season has been the funniest thing on television).

*ahem*

 

I don't consider it a sit-com, because in reality it really isn't. I do love it though, and if were were talking about the top five tv programs of all time, it would have to be on my list, perhaps at number two.

Is Curb Your Enthusiasm classified as a sitcom?

 

If so, this is easily #1. Seinfeld is a pretty distant 2. Cheers at 3.

Um, Fawlty Towers???

 

I can't believe this has made nobody's list, seeing it's considered the best British sitcom of all time, and (in my opinion) British comedy is better than American comedy.

 

Actually, there's no British sitcoms on this list that I have noticed. How....strange.

god dammit, you stole my gem of insight.

 

these are personal favorites, i make no claim of objectivity.

 

1. fawlty towers

2. the simpsons

3. south park (if the simpsons counts, so does this)

4. the cosby show

5. the larry sanders show

 

in general, i hate sitcoms and i think the format is on its last legs. i like what fox is doing with freeing up sitcoms to be shot on film, freeing it up from that "3-camera studio in front of an audience" atmosphere and going for more subtle & deft humor (like bernie mac, which is amazingly good), or stuff that's just completely over the top (like malcom in the middle).

They say that British comedy is an acquired taste, especially for Americans. I don't find that to be true, I just think the accents piss us off.

then you're depriving yourself of some great comedy. most of the sitcoms i've seen like 'are you being served?' and AbFab suck, but fawlty towers is easily one of the funniest things i've ever seen. and monty python's flying circus is the single greatest show in the history of television, period.
