Honorable Mentions: Everybody Loves Raymond, The Nanny, Family Matters, Laverne and Shirley, Welcome back Kotter, and Living single. And we’re just going to ignore The Cosby Show, right? It never existed as one of the most funny, popular and beloved sitcoms of all time? Gotcha.

No Brooklyn 99 nor Malcolm in the middle? Those two shows were huge in Latin America.

[mazedaartist]

My top 3:
1. Seinfeld
2. The Office
3. It's always sunny in Philadelphia

[AdamsBombin]

Not surprised it’s not on here but one of my personal favorites is the Dick Van Dyke Show.

[AJDaniels]

Really, we're gonna act like The Cosby Show doesn't belong on here?

[chicityk]

The Is Bull

No Living Single, when it’s known and proven that friends was carbon copy, even the original name for living single was Friends

No Martin? No Cosby? No good times? Different world?

[Jamal-sypg]

No my wife and kids, No Malcolm in the Middle, No everybody hates Chris well I expected them to be honorables mentions

[jorgealejandro]

Golden Girls at only 29? Is this a joke? This is def at least top 10. That’s a no no

[laf]

Great list and can not wait to see part two as there are so many more great sitcoms that weren't added here, to name a few The Cosby Show( despite the controversy about Bill Cosby himself, to not mention the greatness of that show would be wrong), A Different World, Mork and Mindy, LaVerne and Shirley, The Dick Van Dyke Show, My Three Sons, Welcome Back Kotter, Good Times, Maude; just to name a few.

[moviefan]

MASH was not a sitcom. It was not a drama. It was a law unto itself. No show in the history of television has so perfectly weaved comedy and drama into something so unique and powerful. No matter how you categorize it, any lower than #1 is an insult.

[jabronski]

IASIP at 22 is a joke, it's only the longest running sitcom ever.

[Ciontrez_Grant]

Seinfeld is literally my favorite sitcom ever and I always had a strong feeling for all in the family too😩

[Troy]

I get that you guys think his name is plutonium now, but it's intellectually dishonest to pretend that "The Cosby Show" didn't exist. It was a groundbreaking show and changed the dynamics of television in it's time. It was important and helped shaped an entire generation.

[lisalionheart]

that 70s show deserved to be on this list

[Kaito]

Scrubs and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ? Okay, your list is legit.

Still gotta watch Frasier and Seinfeld too.

[petegriffin]

Gotta let some black people in these rooms when yall make these lists smh

[Stoney_Snark]

Great list with many of my favorites, but in a much different order and I’d change out a few. But overall good choices, thanks!!
