No, no more sitcoms, sorry, don't watch them, no longer even look for them -- meaning, I've long since gotten the point that there's nothing of value on television any more.

I USED to love "The Honeymooners," "Roy Rogers" and can even still find "Lassie and Timmie" on t.v. Highly recommend those three.

I don't know if we could consider THE SOPRANOS here but that's the only reason I keep HBO and plan to through 2006. After that, I can't say, given that the rest of their serials are hideous dives.

But, sitcoms...I guess there are just some television SERIALS that are very worthy but very little to no comedy among them. There's nothing that compares with THE HONEYMOONERS, you're right. Just nothing today even comes close and you're very, very right about today's 'toons for the kids: Looney Tunes was superb in the past.

I no longer expect or anticipate anything of value on t.v. as to sitcoms, and so no longer pay any attention to anything other than films, and some of the specials/serials.

Very true. Sopranos is one of the best shows EVER. Amazingly good; each and every episode. I've seen most all of 'em and also look forward to the new shows.
