My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

I think this list is pretty self-explanatory. Here we go:

50.
Empty Nest

Very underrated show with first rate work from Richard Mulligan and Dinah Manoff.

49.
My World and Welcome to It

The wit and wisdom of James Thurber came vividly to life in this sitcom that actually blended animation with real characters.

Re: My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

I saw some episodes of Empty Nest. I don't really remember anything about it. In fact, were it not for Richard Mulligan I don't think I'd be sure I saw it.

I've not heard of My World and Welcome to It.

48.
Family Affair

Brian Keith was very sexy as Uncle Bill and I loved Mr. French's love/hate relatioship with the kids.

47.
Bosom Buddies

The show that put Tom Hanks on the map.

You started with two shows I have seen an episode or two of and two I have never heard of. Looking forward to the rest though. I have fond memories of quite a few sitcoms.

Re: My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

Never heard of any so far. The mix of animation and reality sounds interesting in My World.

46.
Green Acres

In addition to a very catchy theme song, I thought Eva Gabor was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen...I was a kid.

45.
The New Dick Van Dyke Show

Needless to say, it did not impact television the way his first sitcom did, but the show was funny and I loved his chemistry with Hope Lange.

Re: My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

I don't know Family Affairs, but Bosom Buddies used to be on BBC1 in the afternoon, I think, when I was supposed to be at school.

Re: My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

Never got on with Green Acres (channel 4 about 5pm for any UK viewers who're wondering how I'd seen it). DVD is either a cock-er-ney cockney in a film I hate or a doctor/detective with his son in the afternoon. :D

Re: My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

I vaguely remember Green Acres. The Dick Van Dyck show used to be popular here in the UK but can't recall seeing the New one

Re: My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

Seen a few of both of those, my mother watched them. Not my thang

Empty Nest is a very underrated show. Richard Mulligan was great, and David Leisure was hysterical as his neighbor Charley Dietz, but I always thought that Dreyfuss stole the show. :laugh:

I've been watching Family Affair on cable recently, and it's a great show, but I think I would probably call it more of a family show than a sitcom. The two young kids look like they could be twins in real life.

Bosom Buddies was hysterical. Anyone who hasn't seen this should watch it. Tom Hanks should have stuck with comedy.

I was never a big fan of Green Acres, but I love the theme song. When I was a kid, I thought the show was about the Green Acres Mall near here. :shrug:

I've never seen The New Dick Van Dyke Show, but I loved his first show, and anything with Dick Van Dyke in it deserves + rep in my opinion.

I've never heard of My World and Welcome to It.

I like...
-Louie
-Peep Show
-The Larry Sanders Show
-Chappelle Show (except the last 5 minutes)
-Da Ali G Show
-Roseanne
-Curb Your Enthusiasm
-Seinfeld
-Always Sunny In Philadelphia
and others I'm forgetting....

Before you finish your list, you should watch the show Stark Raving Mad with Tony Shaloub (Monk) and Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother). It only lasted one season, (18 episodes aired, but all 22 episodes that were filmed are on YouTube), but it won the People's Choice Award for Best New Comedy.

Here's the link to the pilot episode. (I'm sure you can find the rest of the episodes from there.)

44.
Out of Practice

https://yuq.me/tv/02/680/4749.jpg

It didn't even stay on the air for a full season, but the work of Henry Winkler and the incomparable Stockard Channing as divorced psychiatrists made it worth watching, not to mention solid support from a pre-MODERN FAMILY Ty Burrell

43.
Alice

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Fp7dX-4fL.jpg

Can't believe it actually stayed on the air for NINE seasons, but it was an entertaining show for the majority of its time on the air.

Re: My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

I gave a rep for Green Acres. I loved that show as a kid and I will be watching it again in the near future. I never heard of the The New Dick Van Dyke Show. Just a though, if each show had its own post you might be able to tell which shows were the most popular by the reps.

Re: My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

I've never watched any of these.

Re: My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

Not seen Out Of Practice, but I used to love Alice when I was a kid. I don't think they'd shown it since. :(

Re: My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

Good idea, Citizen, I will continue my list one show at a time.

42.
Here's Lucy

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ucy-header.jpg

This was Lucy's third sitcom and even though she was a getting a little old for the kind of slapstick we expected from her, it was fun seeing her work with her real life kids and this show attracted a lot of impressive guest stars, including Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Re: My 50 Favorite Sitcoms of All Time
 

I am looking forward to the rest! You may even influence a new sitcom on me!
