Best Sitcom of the 80s
« on: May 01, 2008, 11:31:51 PM »
While the Situation Comedy may be a dead genre today, the 80's, IMHO, was the high water mark for the sitcom. What was the best one?

We didn't get most of these over in the uk...

The wonder years is showing on repeat right now on a channel, so I picked that.

Roseanne was good too! Married with children, we got that over here. But I can't really remember if it was any good..

Three's Company. No contest. Though Three's Company did start in the 70s. It's just a hysterically funny show. I've watched the reruns over and over and over and over and over...well you get the point. The show never ceases to be funny.

As for the spin-offs The Ropers and Three's a Crowd....

nice guyjin!!! You got me remembering about alot of these shows i use to watch, on top for me is Married with Children… i watched that religiously and was one show that really got me laughing all the time "NO MA'AM". 
Threes Company is up there as well and the Wonder Years. 

One i could never get into was Family Ties, did not like that show at all :roll:

EDIT: Hey, who voted for Golden Girls? :P

Married with Children and Night Court; all the rest suck.  I would've voted for Charles in Charge..... if every plot had revolved around Nicole Eggert wearing bikinis and lingerie, but alas, they did not.

Three's Company for me.  I spent many High School Summer Vacations being a lazy ass and watching Three's Company reruns on TBS.  Those were the days!  :dance:
