Kirby Posted January 19, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 19, 2022 Probably too many to name, but to start with a few, both Newhart shows, Mary Tyler Moore and Get Smart. Some of the I Love Lucy's are classic and touch on emotions that are universal (Lucy and the Friends of the Friendless, Lucy is jealous of Ethel and Betty Ramsey's friendship etc) but I always get annoyed when Lucy did something really stupid or tried to sneak into Ricky's show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted January 19, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 19, 2022 I did see an episode of Laverne and Shirley this weekend where Laverne tries out for West Side Story and I was laughing out loud. And In Cheese's honor, I'll mention that I'll usually watch an episode of the Partridge Family when I catch it on tv. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Smart! Love that show. If I have 30 minutes to kill & am flipping channels & come across Gilligan’s Island I’ll watch it. Other than that, I really don’t watch old sitcoms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted January 19, 2022 Share #8 Posted January 19, 2022 Brady Bunch, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy. Haven't watched any of these in years. I watched Taxi Driver movie recently, oof, so much of that would not fly today in cinema or TV. It would be wonderful to see a more inclusive society looking toward the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentonMakes Posted January 19, 2022 Share #15 Posted January 19, 2022 I think Barney Miller and WKRP have held up the best of any 70s sitcoms. also, IMO, Barney Miller has maybe the best opening theme song of all time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 19, 2022 Share #17 Posted January 19, 2022 I cheated and looked up a list to help my memory.

You would really choose to watch a random episode of Last of the Summer Wine before any of those others? Or is this a more historic list, where at the time, Last of the Summer Wine was great and you hold it dear to your heart now, but would actually watch an episode of TBBT instead? In a different sense, though, I think, for me, I would rather watch a full season of Black Adder, than a full season of Modern Family, even though, on a random episode level, MF would likely beat out BA.

Further Posted March 9 Share #20 Posted March 9 All in the Family and Mash, I feel are the start of modern comedy shows, where there is a message not just entertainment. And I like them both, but I don't know if I have any favorites, I like all the old comedies, although Golden Girls is pushing my limits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted March 9 Share #21 Posted March 9 We’ll spend a few months watching a few of them. BuffCarla always comes back to Golden Girls, which doesn’t do a lot for me. Currently we’re revisiting Cheers which is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted March 9 Share #22 Posted March 9 I like a lot of the mentioned shows. I didn't see, 'The Nanny', mentioned. That show pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted March 9 Share #23 Posted March 9 I respect Lucille Ball for her trail blazing for women in Hollywood, especially on the business side. In most I Love Lucy's and The Lucy Show, I can't get help but think, 'Your too old to be that stupid' and I can't suspend reality to enjoy the show.

Lucy was a horrible spouse. Poor Ricky, nailed him a big fancy dragon-voiced shrieking redhead, and thought he was ever gonna get an ounce of peace the rest of his life. Big sad for Ricky.
