Your "top Twenty" Sit-coms

[ARIES666]

More than any other type of program, situation comedies have supplied the most entertainment, at least for me, over the years. Maybe it is because it feels so good to laugh?! There have been so many over the years as well. I was going to make it a "Top Ten" but thought "TOP TWENTY" was needed.

How could you leave MASH off your list? And don't forget about Night Court Jennifer

[ARIES666]

See what I mean, Jennifer! And, Cheers is not on my list, either! They would make my top 30 most likely.

[purplehead]

I like your list.

However, no list is complete without the Andy Griffith Show and The Beverly Hillbillies

[Vanillas]

I would be hard pressed to come up with twenty sitcoms that I have enjoyed or even watched with any frequency. However, high on any such list of mine would be TAXI, from the 1970s. I believe it aired for (only) five years but the majority of its relatively unknown players went on to achieve individual success in motion pictures. Among these were Christopher Lloyd, Marilu Henner and, of course, Danny Divito. Besides which, the show was simply funny. I think some of Lloyd's antics as the brain-fried Rev. Jim Ignatowski were among the most side splitting shtick I've seen on television.

Okay, that's only 17, but that's what I've got. I left off two that are on most people's lists. The first is Seinfeld. Much of that show cracks me up, but I find the George Costanza character so cloyingly annoying that I cannot watch enough of the rest to enjoy it. And as for M*A*S*H, I have a hard time thinking of it as a classic sit-com. A great show, but a sit-com?

i think i have enjoyed every show that has been listed , but two all time favorites would be

mash (with frank burns)

and getsmart always makes me laugh !

I can see why you like 2 Pints of Lager. You must be able to see Runcorn from Liverpool. Seriously though, I like most of the episodes from that show. It is a very funny series. My biggest problem is understanding everything that the actors say.
