Greatest Sitcom Evah!

[passedpawn]

M*A*S*H. Great cast, funny but poignant, great theme song (suicide is painless). The greatest, most memorable ending of any sitcom.

(honorable mention to The Honeymooners, Hogan's Heros, and The Office (version 1) ).

I was agreeing with you until you gave honorable mention to the office. Really? WTF? Now I figure you are just stoned in posting this.

Seinfeld..sorry you are wrong, it happens.

But I liked MASH, still watch it and I too love the theme song especially the version with the words.

Have you seen the original (British) version of The Office? I'd totally agree that the American hack job blows but I'd also agree that the real deal OG Office is one of the better sitcoms ever.

M*A*S*H's Adam's Ribs is the best episode of any tv show I've ever seen (and it was first aired before I was born). M*A*S*H was truly great, but, it went slowly downhill after Trapper and Blake left, but the finale was great (still the most watched tv show of all time?)

Greatest ending? How about the final episode of Newhart. When Bob wakes up next to Suzanne Pleshette and realizes the whole series was a dream. Seems he ate too much food before going to bed.

Now, sitcoms aside, NYPD Blue was the best show evah. I'm pissed that it is not in syndication on any channel.

Thats OT. (But, Hill Street Blues and maybe Dragnet were better IMO).

My apologies. No thread evah on HBT goes off topic.



Winchester teaching the Koreans to play that song in the final episode is classic.

Being British I generally find American sitcoms to be god awful but there is one exception that may even match us for levels of comedy approaching genius. That show is "Community"

I have seen the British version. Didn't like that one, either.

[McGarnigle]

I always thought that at it's peak, News Radio was the best. But it had a short peak.

That's funny!


(And way too similar to what happened at my house...)

Arrested Development.

We started re-watching Cheers again on Netflix, and I was amazed as how good that show really was (even with the beer goggles of time affecting my memory). I don't know if it's the best ever, but it's got to be in the top 3.

I kid, I kid...

With Spring Training now underway, let's remember that there was only one sitcom to feature this guy:

...

 

[crash1292]

what?....no Married with children?

 

[landshark]

Home Improvement.

I really liked Alias Smith and Jones and Desperado. but I am a fan of westerns. Those 2 will never win any awards for sure. Maybe Have Gun will Travel...

 

[MSweat]

Not the "greatest ever", I probably would give that to MASH, but one I enjoyed for the two seasons it aired was Sledge Hammer!
