Barney Miller, hands down.

Brillant cast of characters.

Voted for MASH, but there are so many others. Scene in Taxi when trying to get Rev Jim his license, What does a yellow light mean? Slow dowm. W h a t d o e s a. Y e l l o w .....

 

[SoCalFJR1300]

Sienfeld, with King of Queens a close second, that Leah Remini hits the spot!

I think FRIENDS should have made the list, very popular sitcom for years although not a favorite of mine, the Wife watched it a lot.

FRASIER was another one.......I know can't list em all.

Oh hell, I almost forgot: Carol Burnett Show.

Still makes me laugh out loud.

 

[BkerChuck]

But are you still "master of your domain" ?

 

[BigOgre]

Night Court had its moments.

What about...Leave It To Beaver, I Dream of Jeannie, Lost in Space, Giligans Island, The Honeymooners, andThe Andy Griffith Show?

I was thinking the same thing. As much as I've enjoyed a couple of the 70's and newer sitcoms, the first one that came to my mind was the Honeymooners with Jackie Gleason. The interaction between Gleason and his goofy cast members was legendary.

But I still love to watch the Andy Griffith Show with Andy, Don Knotts and a very young Ron Howard.

Hey-- remember Jim Nabors in Gomer Pyle? That show was a hoot. I used to love to watch Sergeant Carter, played by Frank Sutton, lecture and yell in the face of a very inept GomerPyle. His dream was to get rid of Gomer someday.

But one of my very favorites wasn't even mentioned: McHale's Navy. With Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway and good ole Captain Binghamton...

My top 5 would also have to include Hogan's Heroes. Remember Sergeant Schultz, Bob Crane as Colonel Hogan, and good old Colonal Klink?

Almost forgot: I loved Gilligan's Island and still do.

Wouldn't it be amazing if modern day sitcom's had the same stuff as these old black and white programs had? I miss the good old days, but am certainly glad that all of this stuff is available still - through the internet.

-oh, forgot to mention, I'm CERTAINLY glad April 1st is over and done !!! I'm going to start wearing some RayBan

sunglasses in honor of that day.

Recently I've started to appreciate the amount of star-power in these early sit-coms. I guess the industry was trying to figure it out and thought using the big-screen formula was the way to go. Add Green Acres, The Munsters, Beverly Hillbillies among others to the ones you've mentioned, all who have had real legitimate big name actors in them.

 

[El Toro Joe]

And what about Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman?

 

[AVGeek]

I guess I'm showing my age, because Friends was the first one that popped into my head...

Of the newer batch of sitcoms, I've been enjoying Two and a Half Men (when Charlie Sheen was still on it), How I Met Your Mother and more recently 2 Broke Girls...

Now if you want one of the funniest satire shows on the modern era, hands down it's South Park...

EDIT: I remembered one of my favorite shows as a kid was The Jeffersons....

 

[ANZAC]

Keeping Up Appearances - best sitcom ever.

Faulty Towers is another classic

 

[airboss]

Voted for MASH. although it was kinda of a you had to have been there to get it thing, but the real TV addiction was Dr. Who

For Me, working at a teaching hospital, SCRUBS was epic.

 

[bluesdog]

Different ones for different reasons. On the list, I chose Seinfeld. I think every episode had its laugh out loud moments.

I also enjoyed most of the Red Dwarf series, at least in the first few seasons. And then there was Fawlty Towers, and Blackadder.

I haven't watched much TV for the last 12 years or so. Don't even own one anymore.

I've been watching the latest incarnation of Cosmos, hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, on my 'puter. Not a comedy, but I find some of the narration amusing..

 

[Bugnatr]

Anyone remember camp Runamuck? Only on one season but had some good laughs for a 9 year old

 

[beemerdons]

Of the shows listed, I voted for MASH, but I would have chosen some different options, including one of my favorites, WKRP in Cinncinnatti. I worked in small-town radio at the time, and there were so many bits in that show that hit soooo close to home! All-time favorite 'KRP episode: the one with the Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway!!

That was he funniest episode, on any sitcom, ever!

"For those of you who just tuned in, the Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys...film at 11!"

+1, Gunny! Papa Chuy Viejo would have done them both twice and then taken them to brunch, in a Cincinnati minute ese! jes' sayin' and nuff said, eh!

 

[Bounce]

Barney Miller, hands down.

Brillant cast of characters.

excellent bass riff in the theme song.

And what about Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman?

get the lunch box or he might set off the nuke!

That's too funny. Never heard of the series, but that's what I call work!

Please excuse my lack of "political correctness", but my vote would have to be a tie between "Benny Hill" and "Amos and Andy".
