And who didn't watch the Waltons?

[iowamark]

Burns and Allen was a great show. It’s on Antenna TV at 4am Central Time. I have been getting up early to watch.

I enjoyed Gilligan’s Island as a kid but it seems very weak to me now. Certainly, Seinfeld and many others are way above it.

[waterhill]

Oh and yeah, Bewitched is a fave. I still have a crush on Liz Montgomery.

[TexasCajun]

Remember Chico and The Man ?

Nobody mentioned “Mork and Mindy” - Robin Williams was brilliant,

but my favorite was SCTV - had to look hard for it, but it was worthwhile and launched the careers of several comedians - John Candy, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O’Hara, Joe Flaherty, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis and Harold Ramis.

I really liked Rules of Engagement...Patrick Warburton's deadpan comedy was hilarious, and Bianca, well...Bianca! was! gorgeous!

British show “ Are you being Served?” also another cult british show “Good Neighbors” What great shows!!!

Red Dwarf trumps them all.

I think “The IT Crowd” is probably the best sit come made in the last decade, but it was a British show.

I have watched the series and have it on a hard drive. It still puts me in stitches when I watch some of the episodes. It is a 'geeky' humor that computer types understand.

They did develop a US pilot of the series. The original Moss character was the same (Richard Ayoade), but the Roy part was a different actor. It was okay but never got picked up by the networks.

Rules of Engagement is good. The gal who plays Audrey is gorgeous and used to be in a pretty good show with the dude who is in Gotham as Gordon’s pal....cannot place the names or the show.

WKRP in Cincinnati has THE Funniest Episode ever shown on TV of any show ever in the world.

I don’t see any mention of Operation Petticoat.

the Carol Burnett Show

The original Harvey Korman-Tim Conway dentist script (spring 1969) was one of the funniest in TV history.

They repeated the skit in the revised Carol Burnett program, but it wasn't quite as funny. They took out some of the lines to make it fit, and that ruined it -- for those who remember the original.

Grady was the best straight man in all of tv history.

[Phlap]

Cornbread Maxwell.

[Alas Babylon!]

You could even say it jumped the shark...

[Trillian]

I wish they would put out seasons 2 and beyond on dvd. I miss watching it.
