tipptruck1 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 1. Beavis and Butt-head. 2. Home Improvement. 3. Honeymooners. 4. Andy Griffith. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted October 9, 2007 Super User Posted October 9, 2007 Mork and Mindy. The funniest I've ever seen. Much funnier than the SNL shows of that genre, and they were a riot. Quote
Olebiker Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Without a doubt, I Love Lucy. It looks dated these days, but it was groundbreaking in its day. My all time favorite, though, was the Beverly Hillbillies. I was born so far back in the woods in Kentucky that you had to go towards town to hunt and all of that humor hit pretty close to home.

Super User senile1 Posted October 9, 2007 Super User Posted October 9, 2007 SEINFELD Great sitcoms have always lost their luster with age. Two of my favorites in the 70s, MASH and All In the Family, became preachy dramas by the end of their reign. Seinfeld never did this. It broke new ground and was pure comedy genius until the end. If you're trying to make people laugh, why push a moral agenda? Once in awhile this is OK, but when it happens on every show, it becomes much less funny. To me, no other sitcom touches it. BTW, see the line under my avatar. Remember the Serenity Now! episode. Quote
Fisher of Men Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 In no particular order: Seinfeld, I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith, The Beverly Hillbillies, All in the Family I do have to agree. With the exception of Seinfeld, just about anything that came out after 1990 just doesn't match up with the older ones. Classic TV rocks!! Quote
jeremyt Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 I liked Coach, Home Improvement and Major Dad. While it was short lived I thought Rodney with Rodney Carrington was gonna be good. Quote
michbass Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Mash, Night Court, Married with Children, WkRP, Three's Company, Cheers What about Airwolf? Loved that show as a kid. Knight rider and my Favorite The A-Team. Benny Hill late night Not really a lot great on now a days? Seinfield, Simpsons Quote

fish-fighting-illini Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Thanks to this thread I now have to admit watching way too much tv over the years. Something to be said for longevity, Andy Griffith, Gilligans Island Leave it to Beaver Red Skelton Cheers Petticoat Junction Green Acres Gomer Pyle St Elsewhere ( kind of drama / comedy) Barney Miller Taxi For a while Boston Legal ( Denny Crane "name's on the door) was just hilarious but starting to run its course and get stupid.
