Best all time sitcoms

Love those but you forgot the hands down ultimate sitcom... Married with Children
 
All of my favorites were cancelled quickly. I do my part for the TV viewing public by not watching tv much anymore.

Café Americaine starring Valerie Bertinelli.
Joan starring Joanie Cusack (she lets me call her Joanie. We're tight like that.)
WKRP in Cincinnati
Night Court

(ok, the last two did ok for themselves in spite of my patronage)
 
I'm watching the Seinfeld where George is scamming for conjugal visits right now.
 
I'm still angry that they yanked Sports Night off the air after 2 seasons..it was brilliant, funny, touching, and brilliant(worth saying twice).
 
This is an easy one for me...

'Get A Life' is 100% my favourite sitcom bar-none.

I could watch Chris Elliot eat Cheerios and laugh...

The fact that he died horribly at the end of every episode in the last season made it even better ;D

Some Classic Episodes:

Spewey & Me Chris finds a space alien in his backyard. He names him 'Spewey', which is an acronym for 'Special Person...Entering the World...Egg Yolks'. Spewey bites and maims everyone from Chris' landlord Gus to the Pope, which Chris does his best to keep him out of the hands of the government and Michael Jackson's private zoo. Unfortunately, while off to buy medicine for the Spewster, Gus beats Spewey to death with a rake and eats him.

Amnesia 2000 Chris throws a party, and obviously no one shows up. Gus and Sharon (Chris' mortal enemy) pity him and stay around for it. Chris serves them rotten shellfish from a wheelbarrow, causing them to have amnesia. Convincing them afterwards that he's their leader & also half-jackalope, he tried to mold them in his own image, making them dance to the tune of Alley Cat for seven hours straight. When they realize what's gone on, they rip off Chris' head and play soccer with it in the front yard.

Strange Brew After being exposed and nearly killed by toxic waste, Chris and Gus awaken with new talents. Gus is an origami master, able to fold napkins into the most delicate of forms, while Chris gains super-intelligence. They decide to employ Chris' new smarts to win every spelling bee in the world. While the 'bee groupies' eventually start to annoy Chris, they make it all the way to the championships. Unfortunately, the effects of the toxic waste wear off, and Chris forgets how to spell 'pants'. The masses turn on him, sickened that he'd cheat the spelling bee organization by way of toxic waste.

In Living Color

I :heart: In Living Color - One of my Faves

I guess if we talk just plain funny TV - I have to include:

SNL
Kids in the Hall
In Living Color
Fawlty Towers
 
Any list that has "Seinfeld" leading the pack is crap. I include TV Guide's list last summer in that respect, but I really can't fault them; since TV listings are available in any newspaper and a million different places online, their object is to sell magazines, and "Seinfeld" sells more than "I Love Lucy" or "The Honeymooners" would.

The top five:
1. "I Love Lucy"
2. "The Honeymooners"
3. "All In The Family"
4. "M*A*S*H"
5. "Seinfeld" — and I'm being generous. In any objective sense, you simply cannot place it any higher than those four shows, and I personally would put "The Cosby Show," "The Simpsons," "The Andy Griffith Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" above it.

So many great picks above...
I would have to concur M*A*S*H is probably the single best show ever.
