I've been way into sitcoms since I was a kid watching the facts of life with my sister. I've seen some truely heinous sitcoms though. Here's my list, not in any kind of order.

1. small wonder
2. The Torkelsons
3. mamma's family
4. harry and the hendersons
5. family matters
6. step by step
7. perfect strangers

That's all I can think of now. Add some more.

As a younger guy I usually enjoyed the following. Now they would look absurd, maybe still a little funny because they are so idiotic.

Happy Days
Three's Company
Different Strokes
Cosby Show
Full House (nah, hated it even when I was a teenager)
The Nanny
My Two Dads
Will and Grace
Caroline in the City

guess there are more. that's all I got for now.

Big Bang Theory. The jokes suck. The laugh track is incredibly annoying. I have no idea why that show is still on the air.

That was one of my favorites--at least until they got rid of Chrissy. My wife loved the show--most every Korean we talked with back in the 80s would tell us that was their favorite U.S. show. When John Ritter died a few years back, my wife said, "Oh, no, Jack died."

Yeah, actually we all loved that show when we were teenagers. We'd make sure to watch it around dinner time and talk about it the next day. I'm just thinking now, as an older guy, it would look ridiculous. I know it would as I saw a re-run once in the past decade, maybe.

Different times and age I guess.

Haha, I used to watch that show with my parents religiously. It was about the only show my whole family agreed on. I saw a re-run the other day and couldn't believe how corny and dated it was.

Joannie Loves Chachi - one of the worst sitcoms ever.

They had to change the name here in Korea, but it would have been way more popular if they left the name alone...lol

"Action" the Jay Mohr sitcom is one of the great travesties of television. It had potential to be a great show, but it was canned early in its run. Off topic, but I highly recommend checking it out.
