Contentious son of a bitch that I am, I can't find too much wrong with your list.
Cept I would have placed Get Smart and All in the Family closer to the top of the best list.

The Jerry Springer Show is one of the greatest things to ever happen to the world. And I think you might have confused WWE with TNA. Vince McMahon is the man.

 

[DEV]

Best:
Dad's Army
Only Fools and Horses
Porridge
Red Dwarf
Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister
Blackadder
Steptoe and Son
Fawlty Towers
Men Behaving Badly
Some Mothers Do Have 'Em
'Allo 'Allo!

Worst:
FRIENDS
Hope and Faith

Almost certainly others but these are all I can think of at the minute.

BEST
WKRP in Cincinnati (and shame on the rest of you for overlooking it)


I'm not going to list worst because I'm not in a critical mood. Except at Drew- you're MAD boy. Will and Grace rocks.

 

[JimmyBoy]

Best:
I Love Lucy
The Munsters
The Addams Family
All In The Family
Three's Company
Happy Days
George Lopez
According To Jim

Worst:
The Brady Bunch (do i need to explain why? even Robert Reed hated it. Thank you to Cousin Oliver for ending this)

The Nanny (Fran Drescher for a half hour)

Pauly ( one episode then Done )

The Drew Carey Show (it was a decent show but it felt like watching the same thing in every episode)

Hope & Faith (eh, just never appealed to me. Shameless plugs on Regis and Kelly for this mediocre show)

8 Simple Rules (post John Ritter's death)

Everybody Loves Raymond (i didn't love him or his show)

[lk70]

Holy crap! The Thanksgiving Turkey Drop! I never get sick of that. 🙂

As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

The Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys!

Oh the humanity!

Are some posters unfamilliar with the term " Sitcom"? because many of the shows mentioned are quite clearly NOT sitcoms.

BEST


Stressed Eric

Big Train
