I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Everybody Love's Raymond...I know it ran for a bit too long, but c'mon!  There were some great moments on that one. 

My other all-time favorites:

Married With Children
The Young Ones
The Dick Van Dyke Show
The Office (UK)
My Name is Earl
Fawlty Towers
Night Court

On another note...I've never quite gotten the appeal of either "Seinfeld" or "Scrubs".  To me, it's like those shows were trying to reproduce a million different variations on those scenes where a character tells a bad joke, none of the cast laughs, and we're supposed to laugh at the awkwardness of the moment...not quite my cup of tea

I'm surprised and a little displeased that you didn't have Family Guy or The Simpsons and the like up there, or does animated shows don't count? Question



That may be because there was recently a thread just for animated comedies:  Battle of the Animated Sitcoms.

There was another dsyfunctional  family sitcom that proceeded "My Family" that I remember being quite good...can't recall the title though.

Does anyone have any idea what this was? I'm racking my brain on it. (Andrew or moderators,  if you feel this post belongs in the What Film Was That? section, feel free to move it). I recall the father was a bit fat and geeky looking and worked driving a maintenance or plumbing van. He had a female co-worker too.

I like both, but Seinfeld, has lost some of its appeal after countless reruns. Seinfeld was trying to be the opposite of traditional sitcoms: shallow, self-absorbed, unlikeable characters you wouldn't want to know in real life caught in often pointless and petty situations (the show about nothing after all) where important life lessons wouldn't be learned - ever.

Scrubs works for me since it is very self-aware that it is a sitcom and tries not to take the same paths most shows would. The episode where JD imagine what's happening like it were a traditional three camera sitcom filmed in a studio before "a live studio audience" illustrates the very kind of thing they are trying to avoid. Although it has lost some of it's humor from being on too long and being too self-aware. They can only do so many jokes where Dr. Cox draws out a word when annoyed, or even jokes where other characters poke fun of or draw attention to him drawing out words, etc.

Ah, the plight of almost every successful TV show.  They just don't know when to quit.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

The original Addams Family - eternal perfect entertainment
My name is earl - when it's good it is extraordinary
Seinfeld - The Contest was for the image of  masturbation as important as the flintstones for the Image of the stone age.
Cheers - Where every body knows your name.
Scrubs - Great Stuff.

My alltime favorites are:


Taxi    
Cheers
Mash    
WKRP In Cincinnati    
Adams Family    
Get Smart    
I Dream of Jeanie
Gulligans Island    
Married With Children    
F-Troop    
Hogans Heros    
Happy Days    
Night Court    
SaNford and Son    not Samford
Barney Miller    missing the E
Mork & Mindy    

Taxi is the best, I think.  In college on Thursday nights it would be Night Court and Cheers.  There were two others on at 8 & 8:30, can't remember their names. 


These two had a real impact on society, IMO
All In The Family    
The Jeffersons

Others that I watched, even if now they don't seem particuarly enjoyable:
Threes Company
Laverne and Shirley    
Welcome Back Kotter    
Brady Bunch    
My Favorite Martian    


And what about SOAP?

Of the ones on this list, I liked Seinfeld, King of Queens, and Newsradio.  But, there's one show I love/loved that wasn't named.  One underrated show by the name of Boy Meets World.

A favorite moment of mine.  Boy Meets World- Let me touch something!
Small | Large


Cory and Topanga, here in college, around 20/21, about to be married.  They supposedly have been 'dating' since 3, and they were neighbors on the same block.  Show started when they were in 6th grade at 12, and all through high school and college all they ever did was kiss.  They're planning their honeymoon and all Cory wants is a room with a bed, doesn't care about anything except the consummation of their relationship.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
