Fresh Prince is good, but I think Friends and Roseanne are funnier (usually). Seinfeld is good too.

The fresh prince was awesome. I remember watching repeats on 4.30 on channel 9 down here in australia which was the first time i saw them because i think i was too young to see them the first time around.

And Hillary at the start of the series and then Ashley near the end where stunning. They have great characters like Carlton, Hillary and Geoffrey and the relationships and chemistry between will and carlton, hillary and will and Geoffrey and Hillary where spot on.


Not best sitcom of all time but def in the top five. I would put arrested development, office uk in front of it.

Listen guys. Arrested Development was funny, yes. But even considering it in the top five of all time is downright silly.

Carlton is fantastic. That episode where he accidentally takes speed out of Will's locker and dances until he passes out is classic.

G.O.A.T.

I don't know if you'd call that a Sitcom though. Regardless, it's the greatest television show of all time.

My favorite sitcoms:
Married With Children (How has this not been mentioned yet?)
Curb Your Enthusiasm (Sitcom?)
Seinfeld
The Wonder Years
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Fresh Prince of Bell Air
All In The Family

How about the one where Will's Dad came back in his life. At the end of the episode Will is crying on Uncle Phil's shoulder. Touching, very touching.

My favorite Fresh Prince moment is when Will Smith is wearing short ass shorts, a long ass old black Nike Swoosh tank top and those cheep ass sunglasses you get at like Bar Mitzvahs with the colored part that goes over your ear, and is dancing washing the convertable he just purchased.

Is there seriously no mention of Saved by the Bell in this entire topic? I mean not saying it's #1 but come on

Also, I'd put Seinfeld at the #1 spot. Fresh Prince was good but I dunno it isn't one of my favorites.

I agree.

It was still awesome though.

Just not as much as people make it out to be.

A lot of it was the whole "wow I don't get it... I'm going to laugh and talk about how much I love it so that I won't look like the only dork who doesn't get it."

What are you talking about, Seinfeld is like the most hilarious thing to ever appear on TV ever. George is undoubtedly the greatest television character ever manifested period.

Seinfeld is the best TV show of all time. It stands the test of time as well.

To say the Fresh Prince is better than Cheers or MASH or Seinfeld is bogus. It's a good underrated show, but the masses watched other stuff way more than Fresh Prince....they probably couldn't buy a rich black family as entertaining...

Seinfeld is probably the best long-running sitcom of all time. You could make an argument for Friends or The Simpsons too.

Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm are awesome, but the runs have been too short to really say "best ever" because you can't really judge their consistancy, in comparison to the others.

Fresh Prince was okay... but didn't really break any new ground, make a cultural difference, cross any lines... it was just safe, ordinary TV... good at what it did, but hardly must-see TV.

Fresh Prince was the best among "tier 2" sitcoms. IE Family Matters, Full House, Saved by the Bell.

Friends is actually shit. Was popular but the show was cookie cutter. Frasier was better.

But yeah, Seinfeld is pretty much untouchable. I think only Curb Your Enthusiasm can come close, and I wonder why.

More like innovative and influential.

Loved the way the shows were scripted and written. Like Larry David had this great talent at making something that seemed to be totally minute and seemingly inconsequential to the story actually end up being an integral laughing point to the show, by the end. Something would always occur to a character and his storyline thanks to something that seemed so insiginificant earlier in the show. He was great at finally weaving all the different angles of the story so that they meshed into each other by the end. The guy was a fucking genius, scripting a fucking genius sitcom.

EDIT:

What I also like about Seinfeld and Curb is that the shows arent telling you when to laugh. On Curb it's obvious as there isnt any laugh track or anything like that, but with Seinfeld the jokes arent prepped up or built to finally hitting that punch line. Seinfeld didnt run like that. With other sitcoms, like Friends, or Will and Grace or whatever, the jokes are seen coming at you from a mile away. It's like a bunch of punch lines, and when they are said, you have to laugh. On top of the shows being generic and cookie cutter.

Friends was still a pretty good sitcom. I never really got into it at all when it was new, but during the day now I'd rather watch repeats of Friends on TBS or TVtropolis than most anything else that's on.

The best Friends episode was when they were all supposed to go to an awards ceremony for Ross and nobody was ready. Either that, or the trivia game with the apartment on the line. I don't see how anybody could watch those and not think something pretty good was going on in the Friends camp.

This conversation proves that Frasier is the most underrated sitcom ever.

Also the greatest.
