MASH
All in the Family
Seinfeld
Frasier
Everybody Loves Raymond


Would have included Simpsons but decided it didn't count since it's animated. Also unfairly excluded the black and white classics like Honeymooners and I Love Lucy since they were before my time. Bailey was sneaky-hot.

And in tribute, I might have to bring some duct-tape to work tomorrow to mark off an office around my cube like Les Nesmond....

MASH would be my all time favorite
Cheers, Frasier, WKRP and Seinfeld rounding out the top five
Windsor, love your priorities! I like Everybody Loves Raymond also not to mention 2 1/2 men!!!! ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^
From my understanding of the original post, I think they were referring to a particular EPISODE of WKRP being the greatest EPISODE ever. I was never a WKRP watcher, so I won't enter my opinion on that.

I REALLY like Big Bang Theory, The Cosby Show, Cheers, Golden Girls, and Friends. I also liked Frasier, 2.5 Men, Chuck, Family Ties, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Happy Days, Alf, MASH, Night Court, Caroline in the City, Grounded for Life, Grace Under Fire, and Jesse. I'm trying to think of a few others, but can't think of them now.

The rankings are horrid, but at least there's 100 to choose from...

Night Court and Cosby are good calls. Others that jumped out at me are Jeffersons, Taxi, Mork, Home Improvement, Odd Couple, and King of Queens. I also liked Drew Carey Show too...

Friends sucks, except for Phoebe. Can't watch a show where only 1/6 of the cast is worth watching.

I think Friends is a good deal funnier than most people give it credit for.
And come on, are you gonna tell me that she's the only one worth watching among that cast? :-o #-o
There are a couple of others from that show that I'll watch any time, with or without sound. ;)

After further research, I don't want either of them. Here's Bailey's story.

Yeah, but they're not even married anymore. It's not a victory for Burt; it's victory by association for Loni, because Burt Reynolds always wins.

Possibly she was suffering from sleep walking/driving which is pretty frightening if that was the case. :-?

My wife liked Facts of Life.

I forgot about Different Strokes, which I loved. I also liked the Jeffersons.

I did like Seinfeld, but I kind of feel about Seinfeld the same way I feel about Friends, that it was very good for a while, but it went SERIOUSLY downhill in the last couple seasons. Except the shark porn episode. I feel the same way about Home Improvement. ;)

No, I meant that the series itself can be considered one of the greatest ever.

Sorry, Colchar, I had totally forgotten about your ORIGINAL post. I was reading this one by CB&B. I got confused, thinking this was a thread about all sit coms. I forgot that the ORIGINAL purpose of the thread was to praise WKRP. My bad. ;)
