Surprised at no mentions of Addams Family yet.

Also I second Married With Children, The Young Ones, and ALF.

 

[Jarrod38]

Definitely

THIS

and I love Lucy too.

Jumped in to post All In The Family. I don't see a future in the near term where that show won't hold up. Which is kind of sad.

One of the greatest scenes and saddest to grace TV.

So good.

I borrowed my dad's boxset of this a few weeks ago. It's really good.

James Garner is brilliant in it.

It's not a sitcom though, but it certainly has its funny moments.

 

[The Technomancer]

I'm still a fan of the Dick van Dyke show

The Golden Girls

Not ashamed to admit I have the entire series on DVD, the episodes never gets old. Really sad only one Golden Girl is still alive. Betty White, please live forever!

I wish we could get old sitcoms on Netflix or Prime video. Like Roseanna, Cosby Show, Family Matters, Fresh Prince. I could go on all day though.

 

[Grizzo]

Married With Children is the best answer there is, even though I feel like it's more of a 90s show than an 80s one (yes, I know the show started in 1987).

 

[CaptainSlow]

The Golden Girls. My favorite sitcom of all time. Betty White in her prime! I've seen the episodes on TV a million times already and they never get old or unfunny.

There's no shame in admitting that you like the golden girls, at all.

The show is a riot.

 

[terrisus]

old sitcoms... Like... Fresh Prince.

That counts as an "old sitcom?"
Well I feel old.

Pretty much anything on TV Land and other syndication.

 

[womp]

Three's Company

My favorite show of all time. I could watch it whenever. My desert island show if you will...

 

[Grizzo]

I know it's from 1992 but Absolutely Fabolous is another sitcom which hasn't aged a day

still as funny as it ever was

Hush, you :þ

haha I know I can't believe it myself, feels like it was fourteen years ago at most

 

[Delta Assault]

Cheers still holds up really well. Family Ties...

Perfect Strangers started mid 80s and ended early 90s.

Comedy genius.

Honeymooners, cheers, threes company. All gold.

I also like watching All in the family because of how unapologetically inappropriate it is.

Cheers
The Addams Family
Fawlty Towers
Black Adder
Alf
Taxi

A lot of good sitcoms came out before the 90s oddly enough.

 

[jstripes]

I say we give British sitcoms a bye in this, because they've traditionally had exceptional writing. Most US sitcoms are just created to fill the schedule.

WKRP in Cincinnati

This so much.

[Data West]

Three's Company is legit amazing. Possibly one of the best comedy shows of all time. Like not a 'oh this aged well,' thing. It's a legitimately great show. Jack is on a whole level by himself.

Agreed. It's too bad they never released anything after season 2 on DVD.

[KnightAttack]

It can't be mentioned enough: M*A*S*H. No other show (to me) holds up like it. The themes are still relevant and the shocking moments still get to me even after multiple viewings. Truly a great show with an appropriate ending too.

 

[Jigorath]

Married with Children

Still one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.

 

[EYEL1NER]

-I Love Lucy
-Ozzie and Harriet
-Golden Girls
I just saw all of the Black Adders within the last week and I loved those. I had to check the date of the best of the four, Goes Forth, but it makes the pre-90s cutoff.

 

[RC]

Stanford and Son. Just recently started watching it for the first time. They really don't make em like that anymore.
