Have never heard that sitcoms must have laugh tracks, and I strongly disagree with that take. Sitcoms have evolved and no longer need them. The exceptions being every terrible show on CBS.

Yeah that was weird. Sitcom just means situational comedy. So, like, any comedy that has a standard premise and each episode features zany hijinks.

Sort of, but most sitcoms still follow a loose dramatic arc. Seinfeld' "a show about nothing" was more the exception than the rule. Friends, Cheers, Office all followed arcs as they aged. I agree you don't need a laugh track.

This thread would be more interesting if it's was "second best sitcom." Seinfeld is obviously the best and it's not even close.

Second place would probably be Cheers although many younger people would argue Friends. The Cosby Show is way up there and doesn't get enough love these days. Office, Modern Family, Frazier, Mad About You, and King of Queens probably round out the next tier.

I don't get people who like shows like Big Bang Theory and That 70s Show. Never found them that funny.

I'll check it out, Happy Endings definitely deserved a longer run. Oh that penny!

King of the Hill is better than Simpsons. Not as famous but better. I stand by that.

I could watch 24 hours of this show and not even crack a grin.  Is it a trump thing?  Dale seems very trumpy

I love king of the hill  :frown:

Kid me would rather watch The Simpsons. Grown up me would rather watch King of the Hill. Peggy Hill is the worst fwiw.

If anyone asks why there's a BET but not a WET ask them to make a list like this, name your 10 favorite...

This list that bucket has like two and a half black people; Tracy Morgan, Donald Glover, and that dude on the office with the droopy eyes.

Cat 27 with actually a good list :surprised: Eastbound and Down should be on my list. Vice Principals is good but this season has been dark, they didn't even attempt to make jokes last week.
Mr. Bean, AWESOME, although I'm not sure I'd feel the same way 25 years later.
Married with Children, very funny, didn't age great.

I don't get this one.  I tried & thought it was good for a few episodes.  I kept watching until Charlie left.  But too many characters are just canned sitcom characters.  The over-protective mom.  The over the top dorky nothing like his dad oldest son, the vain oldest daughter, & the happy not bright son.  I really liked Andre & Diane, but I couldn't get past the rest of the family.

Kid me would rather watch The Simpsons. Grown up me would rather watch King of the Hill. Peggy Hill is the worst fwiw.

In the last month I tried to start watching these re-runs again.  I remember Peggy being awful, but the combo of her & Bobby made it unwatchable. 

I wish there was a version that edited out Peggy just like I wish there was a FNL with Street & Lyla edited out.

The re-run sitcoms they played after school and in the summer mornings when I was a kid  :love:

Green acres
Beverly hillbillies
Jefferson’s
Good times
Andy Griffith
I dream of genie
Bewitched
Dick van dyke
Leave it to beaver
The little rascals
Gomer Pyle
Happy days
Different strokes
Mash
Honeymooners
Lucy

20-30 years worth of great sitcoms all jammed into my brain in like 5 years, it was really great.

I forgot the partridge family and many more.

The Good Place is definitely a sitcom, I like it but a season and a half of this plot line is more than a bit much.

'clams list and cat 27's second list :nono: makes me think we should do two different eras. 80's and before 90's and after. There are amazing comedies like Sanford & Son, All In the Family, The Jefferson's, The Golden Girls, etc. that got edged out on my list because of recency bias.

The Office

Atlanta and Last Man on Earth are two current shows that I have to watch as soon as they're on.
