BARNEY MILLER!!! Omigosh, that is one of my all-time favorites, I can't believe I forgot it!

Another all-time favorite I overlooked: WKRP.

I love Lucy is silly, but it is also a classic. Happy Days deserves to be in because of its popularity.

I have no idea what the Three Stooges are doing in there; they are classic comedy, but have nothing to do with sit-coms or television.

It´s the one with Cybil Shepard and Bruce Willis, right? "Cybill" was a pretty decent show also. Christine Baranski is another great comedienne. Not to mention the foxy Alicia Witt

Actually, I haben´t included any of the many sit-coms aimed at the black community. Even if some of them manage to transcend the race barrier.

Alrighty then.

All In the Family was broadcast in the 1970's, and starred Carroll O'Connor as Archie Bunker, a cigar chomping ignorant, irrascible, yet somehow likable bigot. Set new standards for quality television, broke all kinds of barriers, added the word "meathead" to the American vocabulary, spawned at least one spin-off (The Jeffersons), and had the first toilet flush in American television history.

You're thinking of Moonlighting. The Honeymooners was an early sitcom that starred Jackie Gleason as Ralph Cramdon, and Art Carney as Ed Norton. Great television.

Third Rock

Siro: I had to include some "oldies" for the Poly oldies... Those who grew up with black and white TV, Ming, Dr Strangelove et al

Kyle and Jon: I voted for "Suddenly Susan"! Brooke Shields is quite funny, so is Nestor Carbonelli. Oh, that reminds me "The Tick" (where he plays Batmanuel) is hilarious.

Other sit-coms mentioned:

Ellen Not that funny.

Barney Miller, Larry Sanders Never heard of.

Newsradio and WKRP Same here.

Zkribbler: The one sit-com you mention that I recognize is Alf, and that one is truly...bad... A talking egoistic rodent from outer space.... Sounds funnier than it actually is...

Did I mention "Norm show"? Norm McDonald has a mean sense of humor Alfs "dad" plays the boss BTW

"Grace under fire" is another fairly decent sit-com, Brett Butler is a hottie considered she´s 42

"Suddenly Susan" did turn to abolute garbage though, when they tried to make it a blueprint of "Drew Carey" Not even Eric Idle could salvage THAT crap...

I believe Mary Hartman Mary Hartman preceeded or was concurrent with soap not after.

Here's a great but unknown show from the 70's, "Fernwood Tonight" which became "America Tonight" with Martin Mull and Fred Willard. Very funny but the satire was a bit much for the average "3's Company" TV viewer.

AH, drew carry, Alf, and All stays in the family.

Kropo - Suddenly Suzan was suddenly funny and suddenly not.

Nanny and Just shoot me is infact much funnier and more witty than, say, friends.


And stop sending me to the concentration camps, you humor-nazi

To be fair, I wouldn't classify Seinfeld as a sitcom. Sitcoms imply that there are "situations". Seinfeld, being about nothing, doesn't have any, or at least not conventional ones. Instead, it's driven by characters' reactions to the most trivial matters. It's true character interaction based comedy, not a Sitcom.

I can understand hatred for Nanny and Suddenly Susan, but Just Shoot Me? It's hilarious! Hilarious, I tell you!

Let's see:

Nanny: Never really watched it, but looked like crap
JSM: Great
Suddenly Susan: ...nah.
Married With Children: Bit hit-and-miss, but still quite good
Soap: Great
Friends: Good
Spin City: Good
Dharma & Greg: In the long run, Dharma was incredibly annoying
Frasier: Excellent
Cheers!: Never in Finland (or as far as I can remember)
I Love Lucy: ...nnnah
Happy Days: I don't remember much about it - they showed it in Finland when I was still a little boy
Beverly Hillbillies: Never in Finland
Three Stooges: Never in Finland
That 70s Show: Excellent

But the show should really be called Niles. All the people I know think he brings home most of the episodes. He just cracks me up.

Yeah, Niles is hilarious... I can't stand to watch the episodes where they do something embarassing/painful.
