Nothing in the last 20 years? You’re dating yourself. No Seinfeld? Big Bang Theory? As for oldies, I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners would beat out Hogan’s Heroes and Gilligan’s Island IMHO.
So many great memories. Newhard was awesome. I still remember the WKRP episode with the punk band “Scum of the earth” which was hilarious.
AITF - I read somewhere that Archie Bunker was supposed to make the right wing look ridiculous but he became a beloved national favorite instead.
Taxi - Reverend Jim’s attempt to get a drivers license was one of my favorite scenes. What do you do at a yellow light?

Thanks for the flashback.
Where are you watching these now that Netflex removed them, not renewing its license to play them.
Hands down the funniest line ever on Television, and combined with his expression. I make it a point to watch that episode around Thanksgiving every year.
I wouldn’t call it a sitcom, more of a mini-series, but “The Prisoner” from England in 1968 was great.
So great. When in a flashback Rob has to go from tge office to the hospital Laura’s having the baby, he’s sent out his pants to be pressed as he slept in them, readiness for baby delivery, dally screams ‘rob. Your pants’
He says in a frenzy, ‘oh. Mel can I borrow your pants?’
Mel, ‘I’m sorry Rob, I need my pants today. I’m having lunch with tge sponsor’
That was Carl Reiner. Get Smart was Mel Brooks
The last scene in the finale episode of Newhart may be the best one ever made.
I wish I could see that episode again. If I reacall correctly, he wakes up and the whole series was a dream.
Right?
Anyways, Seinfeld I still watch every night and still makes me laugh so very much. Its funny it is dated too so the clothes and no cell phones make me nostalgic. I think its generational too, many did not like Seinfeld.
All In The Family, Archie was so right about Meathead's liberalism.
How 'bout Sanford & Sons?
In that category I liked the short-lived Lucky.
If you are married, then King of Queens and Raymond have got to be on your list.
“Suzanne Pleshette was a Goddess come to life!”
My friend who worked in Hollywood said that of all the women in the business, she had the filthiest mouth. For men, it was Andy Griffith. Just what I heard...
I think the Dick Van Dyke show with Mary Tyler Moore, Morey Amsterdam, and I think Rosemary Cluny was very funny — and very charming.
You can find that scene on YouTube. Someone already posted it:
Wee-Doggie !! ...right on.
The elevator scene in each epi was sheer genius, setting up a sexual tension plot for Eddie, while rooming with Sienna Miller.
Agreed: swap Night Court for Taxi, and it’s a pretty good list.
Hated absolutely hated this show, I am convinced it was the inspiration for "The view".
