Also, I liked "Action" with Jay Mohr. Sick but funny.
Green Acres was Kafka in a cornfield. Very underrated in my opinion.
Without question 1 of the top 10 moments of TV during my lifetime has to be the parking lot being bombed with turkeys in WKRP...
That show had a lot of moments that were funny, but that scene is without question one of the funniest ever to hit the airwaves in my lifetime.
As to best Sitcoms.... I think MASH in its early days, sure, but it jumped the shark and ran too long.
I think Big Bang is one of the best on TV today, not sure if it makes it into the top 10 though.. OF course today’s sitcoms are mostly crap.... know the punchline long before it gets there, dead pan acting, horribly lazy writing... etc.
I think “The IT Crowd” is probably the best sit come made in the last decade, but it was a British show.
Mrs Browns Boys is just flat out crazy lunacy laughable, but it is very crass, and again a British show.
Trying to come up with a top 10 of all time is hard, because of of the time differences... What was cutting edge in 1950s is cliche now, so its hard to fairly judge it since the storyline/humor from the classics have been stolen so many times they are now hack kneed so hard to view them with honest assessment.
Its not a sitcom, but I think the Carol Burnett Show certainly was one of the funniest shows ever to be put on TV.
I’d have to think long and hard to come up with a top 10 just during my lifetime, let alone of all time.
It was great casting, too, as they really did look like brothers.
Hehe ...almost posted to the Live Benghazi Thread.
It certainly was the best Finale of any show I can think of.
He was great in “The Big Lebowski.”
Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!
The woman who played “Julia,” the loudmouthed liberal on that show, was a conservative in real life. Must have been a very good actress.
We saw them on cable on MeTV. They are not running them now. Hope they do again though.
“As god is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”
I never got into Raymond, every episode was the same thing...
He’d do something stupid... his wife would over-react to it.... a whole lot of him trying to get sex from her innuendos... throw in some craziness from the relatives... and end.
It had some funny moments, but never found it top tier.
All the guys just knew Alyssa Milano was going to be babe.
But it was REALLY funny white trash garbage.
Another Brit com I loved. And showing my age here "Doctor in the House" About Medical students at a British hospital.
