Best sitcom
 

What is the best sitcom of all time?

If there is enough interest, this will be the nomination thread for an elimination tournament.

Animated ones count.

I nominate Cheers.

Seinfeld.

Frasier.

I know critics love it but it's criminally underrated by the general public.

It's famous for bombing because McLean Stephenson left M.A.S.H. to do this show. It last less than half a year.

My real choice would be All in the Family.

Despite his botching of the English language, Alobar is correct.

This is the real answer, but since we're coming up with nominations for a tournament, I'll say The Simpsons. I can't believe nobody said this yet.

FWIW, I thought it was #1 BY FAR until I saw the office. Now, the two are close, but I have the office ahead.

Oh yeah, and M*A*S*H. Cheers is already well-covered.

Sanford and Son was better than Seinfeld, but I already put in my nomination. IMO, Cheers was better than Seinfeld too.

I expect it to go down in flames with this crowd, but let's throw The Cosby Show in there too.

Dharma and Greg.

I like Seinfeld.

It's funny. I like Jerry. I really like Larry David. It's got some witty dialogue. It makes me smile, sometimes chuckle. It's familiar.

But it's not the funniest, or the best.

Re: Best sitcom
 

Soap. No contest.

I was under the impression that you were not American. If so, it's pretty clear why you wouldn't like it as much.

Re: Best sitcom
 

I'm not. I 'get' it. It just doesn't make my sides split. Perhaps it's not intended to.

I like CYE a lot more..

The Andy Griffith Show.

1. The Simpsons: Top quality + super stamina = winner.
2. The Office (British version): Absolute top quality but cashed out before the first downswing.
3. Seinfeld: Same as The Simpsons, just less of it.

Holy shit -- no one said Curb Your Enthusiasm?

Well, Curb Your Enthusiasm... though Seinfeld kicks ass as well.
