Favorite Sitcom of all time?

[TimBone]

Some buddies and I were talking at work the other day about what the best sitcoms of all time were....we are all three from different generations, so there were quite a variety of names thrown out there. I'd like to get a broader opinion, and this site gets the most traffic out of any I visit.

So, lets hear your opinions. If the thread is well received and gets quite a few nominees, I'll try and create a poll later on of the top ten, so that we can narrow it down to one.

I'll start by mentioning Seinfeld and The Simpsons.

Seinfeld, I think got off to a slow start the first season or so, but really picked up and had a good run. Very nice finale too with lots of returning characters.

The Simpsons has really fell off the last decade or so, but in its first decade, it was really wonderful.

MASH was great until Allen Alda started manstruating all over it. All In The Family really did have some good stuff.

Even though I don't watch the show religiously, no show has been more impressive in its run than South Park. Simpsons and Seinfeld got a little stale toward the end. South Park is better than ever 15 years in.

you laugh at family guy?

the evening news is funnier than that show

The best is Seinfeld by far by most people's standards.

My favorite however is Arrested Development.

CANNOT WAIT TIL THE NEW SEASON/MOVIE COMES OUT THIS YEAR!!!!
-I'm taking off a full day's work, packing up many bowls of pot, and I'm going to Netflix the shit out of that.

Family Guy still has it's moments.

But it's certainly ran it's course IMO.

Now Workaholics......holy shit that's a funny show. Probably because I have a very immature sense of humor. But they do some really funny shit on that show and I know some people that fit the bill of those characters.

Obviously Seinfeld and prime Simpsons first and foremost.

Arrested Development, The Larry Sanders Show, Scrubs (before it moved to ABC and jumped the shark), and Home Movies also rank among my favorites.

NewsRadio, Malcolm in the Middle, Parks and Rec, and The Office had/have their moments too.
