i have to go with Seinfeld too, but I think it's a generational thing though.
It's the only one of those mentioned that i can watch repeatedly.
my take on their list
from a late Gen Xer
1. I Love Lucy (the template for all sitcoms)
unbearable....i'd rather pluck my eyes out.
2. The Honeymooners
have no idea, but people always mention the honeymooners.
3. Seinfeld
know it and still enjoy it.
4. Barney Miller
Again, no clue. I think its from the 70s.
5. M.A.S.H.
It was on in reruns when I was a kid. Didn't like it then.
6. Cheers
gee, wonder who Sam will hit on, then we'll hear the intellectual waitress pontificate, then we watch the two drunks...good times.
I think they wrote one episode, then re-did it for 7 years.
7. Taxi
no idea.
8. The Andy Griffith Show
i think it is in B & W. On at 5 a.m.
9. Hogan's Heroes
no idea.
10. Gilligan's Island
watched it after school as a kid. Always had problems with the logic on the show, even when I was 7 yrs. old. "If they can invent a radio out of coconuts, why cant they fix their friggin' boat?"
maybe i don't watch enough tv.
hope i'll survive.
I always enjoy people who come to a thread and say they don't know anything about the subject - but then go on to write about how stupid everything is and what a waste of time the thread is.
If you have nothing to say, say nothing.
