A pretty funny imitation of The Honeymooners "The Flintstones". Can we count cartoons?

Love the Flintstones Fire Department. In a town made entirely of stone a fire was called every night at 7, hot poker game was the real 'fire'.

[eccentric]

if you are going to add the animated shows, you would have to include The Flintstones.

Hey! Where's Gilligan's Island?

[Military family member]

One of the funnyest moments in the history of television was the scene from Taxi where the gang tried to help the old hippie pass his Hack exam.

"What do you do when you see a yellow light?"

[MikefromOhio]

well while we are at it, why not Animaniacs? :)

Gilligan's Island gave us Mary Ann, but I dont know how funny it was. at least to me....

The Flintstones were pretty good......

[Military family member]

If we add British comedies to the mix, then "Are You Being Served?" and "Keeping Up Appearances" have to be on the list

[Gumption]

Oh, sorry about that.

Wasn't Sledge Hammer a cop or something?

[eccentric]

Gilligan's Island gave us Mary Ann, but I dont know how funny it was. at least to me....

Which is why this whole list is a farce, good only to bring up smiles and happy memories. Some of these shows, like Gilligans Island, were popular in their time, but now are really great for kids, far better than the latest crap they are getting.

[Drew68]

Married, with Children.

Absolutely! However, after the show's original creators and executive producers, Michael Moye and Ron Leavitt left the show in the early 1990s it sadly went downhill fast. It became a T&A show with rehashed and poorly written jokes.

From 1987 to roughly 1991-92 it was hands down the funniest show on television.

[dfwgator]

Fawlty Towers.

[infidel29]

Seinfeld #1?

I Love Lucy #16?

Where's "Cheers", "Fraiser"... jeez "Martin" was funnier than most of these shows.

[infidel29]

That animation is GREAT! LOL

[Vision]

9. Perfect Strangers

That's creepy...

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Benny Hill is the best.

As the person who came out with the best movie stars, he admitted he made the list to get people to read his magazine.

I think people who make such lists are just trying to get people to (look at me and my web site).

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

[princess leah]

I always loved McHale's Navy - Ernie Borgnine, Ensign Parker (Tim Conway) was hilarious when going it with the Captain!
