Top 50 All Time Sitcoms

Thursday May 1, 2008

What is your favorite sitcom of all times? You may want to see if you are in agreemant with AOL Television's list. I had a ball just scrolling through their top 50.

Here is the top 5:

  • 1) The Simpsons - this animated classic is in its 19th season.
  • 2) Seinfeld - the show about nothing that went on for 9 years.
  • 3) All in the Family - Archie Bunker with his dingbats and meatheads.
  • 4) The Mary Tyler Moore Show - a very funny show that generated 3 spinoffs.
  • 5) Cheers - who could forget Sam, Diane, Cliff and Norm?
Do yourself a favor and take a look to see if you agree with AOL. I bet you won't since we all have our own favorites.

Great list, but I think Laverne & Shirley should have been much higher than #44. They had some choke-on-your-drink funny moments. Years and years later I still laugh thinking about that god-awful vacation they took where all the resort guests were walking in tiny circles in the blow-up pool in the lobby, and the winds blew them out of the bed at night. And Lenny and Squiggy always showing up as soon as someone would say just the right line.
“I must come up with a short disease. Something horrible, something awful, something absolutely wretched.”
“Hell-ooo!!”
