In order, I rank the greatest TV sitcoms of all time like this:
1. I Love Lucy (the template for all sitcoms)
2. The Honeymooners
3. Seinfeld
4. Barney Miller
5. M.A.S.H.
6. Cheers
7. Taxi
8. The Andy Griffith Show
9. Hogan's Heroes
10. Gilligan's Island
Honorable mention:
All in the Family
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Cosby
The Odd Couple
McHale's Navy
The Phil Silvers Show
Night Court
Friends
Gomer Pyle, USMC (early years)
Family Matters (early years)
Home Improvement
The Beverly Hillbillies
Three's Company
The Jeffersons
Happy Days
Dick Van Dyke
Coach
Green Acres
(NOTE: Omitted from the above lists were shows that were more "situation" than "comedy", such as 'Leave it to Beaver', 'The Donna Reed Show', 'Father Knows Best', etc. Also omitted were animated shows such as The Flintstones, South Park, The Simpsons, and Family Guy.)
(P.S. I am old enough to have watched all of the above shows during their first run with the exception of Lucy, The Honeymooners, and The Phil Silvers Show, all of which I caught fully in reruns. The above lists are strictly from memory, so I hope I didn't leave out anything obvious. Have fun.)

If Police Squad had been on just a couple more years it would be a top tenner in my book, too. What a masterpiece that was!
To: Prime Choice
LOL! I have "Revenge of the Creature," with the all knowing, all talking John Agar on behind me right now.

I know. The main reason I put it on the list was because they only filmed 6 episodes and it was designed to run for just that period of time, no new episodes or additional seasons. So it ran it's full intended length.

Seinfeld is a libtard show not worth watching.
To: Lancey Howard
MASH was a sickening left-wing POS. The movie was good, though.

I don't have to name it. I just have to say, "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

Good Times I couldn't take too much of, but I loved Sanford and Son (Grady was great, too!).

MASH was a sickening left-wing POS. The movie was good, though. Agree, especially the last few seasons ... but it was funny though ... until Alda put his libbie viewpoint too heavily into it ... yeah, we get it Alan, war is bad.
