The greatest sitcom ever was Taxi.

As some here are wont to say, discuss.

[Robeson]

1. You are certainly entitled to your opinion.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

2. It's not an opinion. It's a carved in stone fact.

:P

[Lindsey]

3. Jim: "What does a yellow light mean?" "Slow down."

"W h a t d o e s a y e l l o w l i g h t m e a n?" One of the best lines ever in sitcom history.

[rhiannon55]

4. I think 'Soap' was another great one

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Y'know, there really is very little room for debate

[Tuesday Afternoon]

31. I should've known you would have posted

the correct answer :D :hug:

[CreekDog]

6. Seinfeld united plot and subplot better and more humorously than any sitcom

that was what they did. they were good.

[WinkyDink]

7. INDEED!! And "Seinfeld" was a total rip-off (goofball, straight-man, "Elaine", FGS!)!

NOBODY beats The Reverend Jim!

"Whaaaaat dooooes a yellloooooow liiiiight mean??"

[martymar64]

8. You're all wrong, THE YOUNG ONES is the best of all time

Followed by the Trailer Park Boys.

[skygazer]

27. I second The Young Ones

Riotously funny.

[azmouse]

9. You're all wrong.... Cheers is the greatest.

There has never been a funnier show and there never will be.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

10. No! It was "AfterMASH!"

Colonel Potter! Klinger! Father Mulcahy! Cancelled after thirty episodes! AfterMASH, DAMMIT!

:rofl:

[Stuart G]

11. Please define great?..I Love Lucy is truly great..

[Tuesday Afternoon]

29. oops I agree and posted below. Did not see this one

:thumbsup:

[AllieB]

12. Don't know if it counts because it's on HBO, but I would vote for

'Curb Your Enthusiasm'. Of course, it is the creation of Larry David. I would place Seinfeld a close second. I have only seen Taxi in re-runs and thought it was funny also.

[Ishoutandscream2]

13. Green Acres. Still my favorite soap

Has a lot of drug humor in there. Of course, the writers weren't aware of it!:evilgrin:

[Brooklyns_Finest]

16. Married with Children

Changed the face of TV sitcoms forever.

[rurallib]

25. YES. Al Bundy was truly a great American.

[flvegan]

17. You're all wrong, Two and a Half Men is the greatest sitcom.

Consistently funny.

The Young Ones is a close second, only nudged out of first place because it only ran for 2 seasons, and only 1 episode featured "The Rickety Chair".

[Zavulon]

20. Seconded.

Just the part about Two and a Half Men; I've never heard of the Young Ones.

[blondeatlast]

24. Pretty much among contemporary ones. Great writing, great characters. nt

[jmowreader]

18. Are you people NUTS?

All In The Family was the sitcom that changed television forever. Nothing can ever come close.

[Kat45]

32. Agreed.

I'm bummed that there aren't any stations showing it these days. I can't get enough of that show.

[Zavulon]

19. With all due respect, Taxi sucked.

If not for Elaine Nardo's figure, I wouldn't have tuned in at all. I don't think the show ever made me laugh; it was awful.

[blondeatlast]

21. WKRP, The Mary Tyler Moore show, and The Dick Van Dyke Show. DVD was WAY

before it'[s time, too.

[begin_within]

33. While Lucy invented it, Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore perfected the sitcom

[pokerfan]

22. Oh, please!

The greatest sitcom of all time:



Did you know that they're making a feature film?

[MrSlayer]

23. My vote goes to The Honeymooners.

Jackie Gleason ruled.

[THUNDER HANDS]

26. Roseanne was the greatest sitcom ever

[Shell Beau]

30. Roseanne was more realistic than lots of others.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

28. I Love Lucy upon which all others are based and to which all

owe a great deal. It was genius.
