I don't mean which will be remembered as the greatest. I mean which is/was your favorite.
For me it has to be either:

or

they appear to have been reruns, in any case. :-)

The Office. and not the one that I hear is on one of the networks now. I mean the original series that aired on BBC, starring ricky gervais.

"All In The Family" was a piece of shit which backfired on its creator. Norman Lear REALLY DID think the nation would hate Archie Bunker and rally around his "more enlightened" family. It didn't turn out that way.
Unintentionally, Archie Bunker became the voice and not the buffoon. The "meathead' became the laughingstock. Edith became the cartoon. Gloria became the idiot who suffered without any intelligence to understand anything going on around her. Does anyone remember her spin-off show when she became a veterinarian? I think it was egotistically named "Gloria".
"All In The Family" was a breakthrough alright. By broadcasting it, CBS allowed every other network (and its own) to destroy decency on television.
Television programs were not meant to ever reflect the ugliness of humanity. They were to display what is positive about life. Why anyone ever thought it was a good idea to change that formula is beyond me.
Norman Lear was not a pioneer. He was a liberal. His goal has been realized and profound.

Every diamond was once a lump of coal. I don't care about his reasons for Archie. I was born in 1975, so I was too young to even know there was a political overtone to the show. I just knew that Archie Bunker had the same values that my Dad instilled in me. Archie was the good guy, and the public saw through the irony and rooted for the good guy.

^Undies is right on how All in the Family was recieved. I too was a kid but I can remember how everyone pretty much felt the way undies described. I always liked it (of course I was too young to get the political part).

Favorite sitcom? Hmmm, let me think:
Well, my sis and I grew up with Family Matters and Full House and loved those shows.
If I had to pick a more recent one, I'd go with 8 Simple Rules (before John Ritter died).

If I had to go more recent, Id go with Scrubs. I just got into it on Comedy Central. Of course, I used to work at a hospital. It's pretty accurate in what goes on in a hospital.

I never understood the appeal of "Scrubs."

It kinda grows on ya. Like King of the Hill
, you have to get to know the characters.

I was born in 1954, two years after "I Love Lucy" became a national phenomenon. I grew up on television mainly because it was a new influence on American life. Back then, if you didn't have a TV then who the hell were you?
Back then, I saw "Leave It To Beaver". I looked at my own family and saw the difference. My inclination was not to gravitate towards the bad things in life. I wanted to be like the decent Cleaver family. I wanted to be Ward Cleaver to my kids. In whatever degree.
My point is, television can, and did inspire. It is a two-edge sword, though. Unfortunately, liberalism has mostly controlled television programing, so we have suffered eventually.
Now, instead of Andy Taylor loving his son Opie and making a man of him, we have some clueless dad who doesn't realize his son is a homosexual, but yet protects his son's lifestyle as if it is valid, or something like that....

On TV today? 30 Rock (yeah Baldwin is a puke IRL, but he is awesome on this show).
Since whenever? Seinfeld, The Larry David Show, Cheers, Soap ... to name just a few.

You didn't??? Let me clarify it for you...
People exist only to orgamism. Those seven seconds out of their day is all that matters. Everything else is just fodder.

Married with Children is my absolute fav. I own the first 3 seasons on DVD, and catch what I can on FX when they show it. Watching Al Bundy makes me feel better about my own crappy life. No matter how bad it seems, I have a woman who doesn't steal my money and will cook and clean on occasion, I don't have a job I completely loathe making a nickel an hour, and the last thing I ate hasn't been my wedding cake from years ago. :-)
Other than that, Frasier, King of Queens sometimes... Seinfeld on occasion, and when they were on YT I used to love watching old episodes of Sanford & Son.

Damn... haven't watched a sitcom in 10 forevers...
But the last sitcom I enjoyed was... Titus.

Ts was great, as was Grounded for life. The way that Titus was about his real life always made it enjoyable

I liked Just Shoot Me which, as far as I can tell, isn't anyone's favorite sit-com. But there is no accounting for taste. Something about that show speaks to me.

I liked that show. Laura San Giacomo should wear tighter sweaters.
-
Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond. Wings was also one of my favorites.
-
Cheers (before Woody Harrelson got famous and retarded)
-
Oh, Everybody Loves Raymond was a great one too. Never paid it much attention, until my mom made me watch it. :p

I think the whole thing just gelled. The whole cast was great.
I always think of Laura San as The Devil's Bride character from The Stand.

Same here. I loved the book but that TV miniseries was just bad.

I actually thought the TV mini-series was a pretty good adaption of a book I thought was unadaptable.
Now the TV miniseries of The Shining was awful. Ever since the Kubrick film, I've been waiting for Jack to get up after getting stabbed in the back and say "You killed me you bitch!" but I guess I'll have to wait another 20 years.
I mean, I know he says it in the TV miniseries but only after possibly getting killed with a croquet ball? WTH? Croquet balls aren't scary at all.

Married with Children, King of Queens and Frasier.

I will give you this much. If it wasn't for the character of Dr. Cox, the show would blow. But his character is worth waiting on.
-
"I Love Lucy". Nothing since can compare.

I'l go with The Larry Sanders Show.
