  • TonyTexas changed the title to 100 Best Sitcoms of All Time

I don't have a problem with the top 10, just not in that order. Both Seinfeld and Cheers have very strong claims to the top spot. Don't think Sex and the City belongs on the list. Not sure about the rankings of Scrubs and Murphy Brown. Shocked at the lack of Married With Children, Family Guy, etc.

Kind of odd to see the Office rank so low

Yeah not sure how parks is in the top ten and the office isn't

Parks was consistent start to finish. The Office had some pretty low seasons

Schitts Creek at #100? No way.

Because Parks and Rec is better. Office went to shit at the end. Parks never did.

Cheers and Seinfeld are in a class of their own. 

 Next group I don't really care how you list them.

I was disappointed Parks was ending. I was ready for the office to end. 

The truth about PnR is that it should've ended after the Harvest Fest.  

Bye Bye Li'l Sebastian.

It was still better than The Office from start to finish.

All sorts of fucked up in that list.  Andy Griffith Show should be top ten, as should The Office.  And Get Smart should be right on their heels.

Working my way through the list.

Flea bag was really good.  Shouldn't be ahead of IASIP and others.

started scrolling, saw Big Bang Theory, closed tab. That show is worse than the Holocaust, and I  refuse to read any greatest list that includes it.

The original The Office should be top ten.

I was a little young when Cheers was on the air and didn't watch it until it was streaming on Netflix, but I thought the show took a nosedive in the Kirstie Alley years.  Loved the earlier seasons though.  I thought Frasier was great too.

Also if you're grading shows based on how good they are overall and not just how good or innovative they were in (insert year) compared to what else was on in that era,  I'd choose Curb over Seinfeld any day.

I don't consider Curb a sitcom.  It's on HBO.  There are way fewer restrictions.  Also fuck you.

I thought the post Long years were just as good but different. It became more of an ensemble and allowed great characters like Frasier and Woody to shine more brightly. 

Just tell me of Friends is anywhere on the list. If so, it will spare me from 15 minutes of clicking.

Could it BE any more on the list?

It's an age thing. The 60's and 70's are my wheelhouse so Andy, Archie, George, 99, Maxwell, Hawkeye, Radar, Barney, Floyd, and ...hell Gilligan, Mary Anne, and Ginger are my touchstones.

BTW, it's all in the family, and then everybody else.

Where did Wings land on the list?

The show completely reinvented its dynamic and it's hard to think of of show that did that so successfully.

This right here. All in the Family was the best. Too bad we can’t have a lovable bigot these days.

Green motherfucking Acres.

Surreal and absurd.

Shit, imagine seeing that as a pilot episode today.  Trick question.... you wouldn't.

The Simpsons 1989-Present is not #1.  The Simpsons 1989-1999 is definitely #1 in my book.  

I watched Cheers live (yeah I am old) and thought the Rebecca years were actually better than the Diane years but both are excellent.

I think Derka defended Friends once and I hate to agree with him but Friends was actually pretty great for the first 5 years or so.  I would compare it to a movie that is a good romantic comedy plus Jennifer Aniston was smoke.

Which is sad. It made a lot of people reexamine their viewpoint.

I have not gotten Schitts Creek.  I like Catherine, and Eugene, but that show is a bit lame in my opinion. It tries way to hard to be funny

top 10 best lines on any show, any time, Jimmy James: I've got so many lawyers calling me you'd think I had tobacco leaking from my breast implants.

James Brooks created 3 shows in the top 20. The Simpsons(1), Mary Tyler Moore(8) and Taxi(17). That guy has to be rich. 

How did fucking Daria make this list but Beavis and Butthead did not? They were on the cover of Rolling Stone three fucking times. 

Also no Munsters or Addams Family? Fuck these Rolling Stone lists get my blood pressure elevated.

For their fucking cars at the very least.

Simpsons and Seinfeld are 1 and 2 and it doesn't really matter what order imo - kind of a personal preference thing in my book. 

Most of the top 20 seems fine. Parks and Rec shouldn't be above Curb or Arrested Development which both have very good top 10 arguments. (Although I do think Parks and Rec is better than The Office)

I'm not scrolling through the rest to figure out where they ranked South Park but it was probably understandably way too low. South Park is one of the 5 greatest sit-coms ever and arguing otherwise tells me you're too easily offended or too dumb. There is no other show that has come close to matching it's comedic brilliance, scathing satiricism and longevity. Nothing. (And very, very few have been as culturally relevant and influential)

Gotta be way behind Alf Tales. 

Also, all internet lists are designed to suck otherwise they wouldn’t generate any clicks.

Veep is too low. Although the last season sucked, there are very few shows that delivered laughs week to week like that one.

Serious WTF from me when I reached Veep on the list.  So many jokes you had to watch it twice.
