[Dr. Madd]

My number one favorite of all time.. Hogan's heroes.

[Opera Ghost]

I liked Alf, Married with Children and Welcome Back Kotter

[Scary Terry]

Glad to see this thread back from the dead, if only to note that i got a couple of my wishes.  The Complete Leave it to Beaver is now out on DVD -- and in my collection.  Bilko is being issued in Season sets -- though I have yet to pick up Season One -- but will do as soon as the budget allows.

And did I really leave Fawlty Towers off my list?  Shame on me!

Sgt. Bilko (wish they'd release more on DVD than the "best of" collection)
Leave it to Beaver (darn it, the DVD release seems stalled at season 2 -- I want 'em all!)
Andy Griffith (B&W seasons)
Beverly Hillbillies (early episodes)
Dick Van Dyke
Jack Benny
Car 54 Where Are You?
Addams Family

These are the shows that stand up to multiple viewings for me.  From the '70s, only Mary Hartman Mary Hartman and Fernwood/America Tonight still appeal.  Plenty of stuff I watched first run and enjoyed then seems flat to me now. The only sitcom in recent years I can watch repeatedly is Seinfeld.  Oh -- let's add Curb Your Enthusiasm to that short list, too.

From the UK, I love The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (out on DVD here this month).


Oh -- a kid's show, not a sitcom, but I still dig Pee Wee's Playhouse....

I really love PBS .. and the BBC .. I forgot "Keeping Up Appearances" and I remember a britcom from the 70's about a man's family that keeps moving back in to his and his wife's house but don't remember the name, it's not "My Family" ...

[Flower]

Btw ~ I'm confused to see Hill Street Blues on a list about sitcoms .. I loved the show and it did have some funny moments but I would never call it a sitcom.

What.....?  You forgot MR. BEAN, and THE YOUNG ONE'S.  First time I watched MR.BEAN I was literally in tears.   Had forgotten about the BLACK ADDER series, good call Flower.
