What is the qualification for classic?

[jakethebake]

MASH has to be there. I never cared much for Soap or The Honeymooners. Andy Griffith? Leave it to Beaver?

I'm flexible. Since Seinfeld was a 90's show I guess I'd say pre 2000

I considered the Simpsons too, but I didn't include it because I don't know if you can classify it as a sitcom.

[Lazymeatball]

1. Simspson's
2. Seinfeld
3. Perfect Strangers
4. Fullhouse
5. NightCourt

my selection is limited to the fact that I was born in 1982

[fnord_too]

I don't see how you can leave "The Honeymooners" off since that pretty much started the genre.

[M2d]

Cheers
Taxi
Married With Children
Friends
Night Court

Married with Children

Anyone remember the show with Chris Elliott as the 30 yr old paperboy, it was called "Get a Life". I thought that show was great but it only lasted a year.

I do and it was funny as hell. Forgot it even existed though. Also Bob Newhart is an excellent choice.

[Zeno]

Any Classic (a true Classic, older than say 25 years)must include:

I love Lucy and The Honeymooners - they defined the genera.

Also: Andy Griffth Show, Green Acres, Leave it to Beaver and I guess, Gillian's Island.

Of couse many other great shows have already been mentioned. My favortie two are: Married With Children and Seinfeld.

Huh? I must live a sheltered life. I've never heard of any of these.

[Lazymeatball]

"Get a Life" starring Chris Elliot lasted two seasons, which my friend has on DVD, which are pretty hilarious, but only 3 or 4 episodes stand out in my mind as worth watching.

And while I'll admit Fullhouse is kind of a joke answer when discusiing best sitcoms of all time (as if that is even a desirable list to be on) Bob Sagat as Danny Tanner is pretty [censored] funny when you realize he's only acting like a tool on tv to make the big bucks. He has great delivery, even if he's working with very family frinedly/ non-cuting edge material.

[goofball]

top tier: seinfeld

second tier: cheers, M*A*S*H

third tier: cosby show, frasier

[mike l.]

does "classic" mean good? because 4 of your 5 are unwatchably awful.

[mike l.]

"Cosby"

good lord what sort of sad freaks are you all??

[mike l.]

"Full House
Family Ties
Step By Step
Who's The Boss
Golden Girls"

ok that rocked. at least i knew you were kidding around.

btw golden girls is actually pretty funny, especially seeing the outfits they made maude wear.

[mike l.]

see the problem is everyone is seeing classic and thinking like nick at nite crap.

funny sitcoms are: family guy, news radio, maybe the simpsons although it kind of ran itself dry. futurama and king of the hill are good. actually i think king of the hill is better than the simpsons. but the first two i mentioned are truly great. and seinfeld that's up there at the top as well, really funny.

bob newhart show, i love lucy, mary tyler moore show, three's company, and a few others deserve to still be on, but after that i find most sitcoms pretty hard to stomach.

anyone ever watch small wonder? or sledgehammer?

anyway family guy is hysterically funny and far better than the simpsons ever was.

omg i almost forgot get a life. what a great show. the episode titled zoo animals on wheels is probably the greatest/funniest thing to ever air on tv.

[mike l.]

"Married with Children"

yes. funny.

"Anyone remember the show with Chris Elliott as the 30 yr old paperboy, it was called "Get a Life". I thought that show was great but it only lasted a year."

there's a dvd set out. go rent it at netflix or buy it.

[mike l.]

"Don't be ridiculous"

nice

The latter. I keep forgetting how poorly sarcasm translates over the internet...

On a serious note, I haven't seen Wonder Years mentioned yet. I really did like that show growing up although I haven't seen it for quite a while.
