i pretty much watch ME-TV all day and pick up other similar shows on other channels. i'm thinking more old detective shows.

someone mentioned "dukes of hazard". not sure it's a sitcom but i think it is an incredibly underrated TV show. lead 2 characters were vanilla but good, rest of the cast was top-notch (roscoe, enos, boss hogg, daisy, cooter, uncle jessie)

Sledge Hammer. Totally forgot about that show.

gilligan's island - surprisingly this one stands the test of time quite well maybe because it didn't try to be cool for its time. sort of like current day jim carrey or ben .

Interesting story on how that got cancelled. CBS I think it was was going to cancel Gunsmoke. The wife of the network's head honcho was a big Gunsmoke fan and when she heard about it she let him know how she felt about it so he kept the show on and instead gave Gilligan's Island the axe (and I presume another show as well since Gunsmoke was an hour long). But face it, if after 2 or 3 years without getting off that island by then they never would.

if the professor was so smart, why didn't he just build a raft or something similar?

[gojetsgomoxies]

thank you

my educated guess is that this didn't end well...

did they try to get rescued every single episode?

question in similar vein: did every single episode of Three's Company revolve around a misunderstanding? i.e. therapist misinterpretted as "the rapist"

i realize in both cases at least most episodes revolved around those themes

Yes, I think they all did revolve around a misunderstanding complicated by Jack having to act gay whenever Furley or the Ropers were around. I cant remember if the "therapist" episode was this one but may of been - one of the girls is dating a psychiatrist and the rest of them thinks he's a crazed lunatic who escaped from the mental institution. Have to track that one down, havent seen it in ages but it was hillarious.

I vote How I Met your mother.

[Foxx]

Speaking of rapist:

[Clutchut12]

Good call on the mentions of King of Queens. I can watch the same episode again after seeing it a dozen times already. Carrie was gorgeous for a while. Hell, still was fine when she put on the weight. Deacon, Arthur, and Doug were hilarious. Simple show, but what made it good. Probably why it was difficult to end it well. Bryan Cranston was great there too. Hulk as a neighbor. Great show

Nailed it

[champster]

Agreed on King of Queens.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

The Big Bang Theory with no laugh track is... weird.

I have to throw in Brady Bunch as an honorable mention... I watched it constantly as a kid as many of you have... and think about all of the references it still has in pop culture still today.

Three's Company
All In The Family
Some Mothers Do Ave Em (British Sitcom)

Could never get into community gave it a shot,arrested was a decent show though

[Clutchut12]

Good thread,we had alot of king of queens, the office, seinfeld cheers and the simpsons

[DOM-Ganador]

Taking nothing away from all these 70/80/90s classics, but Sunny brought a whole new genre into the 1/2 hour sit-com.

These new shows probably aren't "family fare", but we have more than a few great "cringe worthy" shows on now if you have the time to watch:

The Detour
You`re the Worst
VEEP
Better Call Saul

Honorable mention:
Smilf. Set in Boston
Crashing. NY comic scene, tons of cameos.

[magaman]

It was a bit short lived... but I have to ammend my list to include a couple that will certainly kick out a couple...

1) South Park
2) Beavis & Butthead

[Pareto]

Seinfeld
South Park
Coupling
Yes Minister
Red Dwarf

Don't watch alot of the new sitcoms to be honest.

Someone should do a hottest sitcom women thread.
