Hey, there actually some really good ones these days, especially on ABC. Black-Ish and Fresh Off the Boat are pleasant TV viewing.

 

Modern Family is really starting to run its course, though. It's time for it to sign off.

Seinfeld was definitely a big achievement at the time, and still holds up moderately well. The first 6 or so seasons of Roseanne are still mildly worthwhile and often surprisingly timely. Otherwise I don't care to watch/rewatch any.

Now THERE is a show that had a truly awful final season. Good grief.

I think the last 3 are all pretty bad iirc, but yeah that last one was epic levels of nuclear.

Nocturnal Animals was alright I guess; surprised it's doing so well

I watched Friends religiously and it takes me like 2 seconds to pinpoint the season an episode belongs to when I catch it on tv. But I don't find it as funny as I did back then. Seinfield I can rewatch forever. I'd take Cheers over them tho.

 

Those are my top three sitcoms. I can't really rank them in position 1, 2, 3. All three of them are hilarious and all three of them are so quotable in my opinion.

Sing may have a Lego-esque performance. Great DOM and pretty terrible OS except for a few markets. 

Yeah, I've been thinking that for awhile. Definitely seems like its humor will skew American (LOTS of pop culture references)

I don't think sitcoms suck, but very, very few of them stand the test of time. And even when they do, it's usually a few scattered episodes or scenes, and not the show as a whole.

Top 3 sitcoms:

 

1. American Dad

2. The Simpsons (early to late 1990's)

3. It's Always Sunny

You want to reach back into ancient history, All in the Family is pretty amazing.  Great writing and one of the all-time iconic characters in Archie Bunker.  Still holds up today whenever I catch an episode.

For the most part this is true.

Parks and Rec, early Simpsons and Lab Rats are the best sitcoms. Arguably South Park also. Not sure if that counts as a sitcom

Roseanne is good. So is the Cosby Show.

The Cosby Show is way too black for me. I mean how ridiculous is it that there is a sitcom with all black people on it.

How I Met Your Mother was hilarious, and I don't care what anyone said, I liked the ending
