There have been some great comedies over the last few decades, but I think the art of the sitcom has been lost. There just isn't the same chemistry, timing or writing. Granted I don't watch a lot of television and have never seen Big Bang Theory, so keep that in mind with my list.
Coach - THe ensemble cast just work so well together and it was centered around college football. What's not to like? Luther wheeling around his dog in the wagon just kills me.
Family Guy - I was only introduced to this show a couple of years ago, but it make my list. The cutting edge humor, satire and just plain irreverance makes this show special. I can't get enough of this.
Night Court - Great cast and just insane situations. John Laroquette's total ******bag character is legendary and BUll Shannon goes into the dufus hall of fame.
Friends - Maybe, from beginning to end, the best written sitcom ever. Sharp dialogue and oddball characters make this a classic. Sure it was trendy to watch, but I didn't care. A show of that quality deserves all the accolades it gets.
WKRP - This show was way ahead of it's time with controversial subjects and adult humor. The Thanksgiving turkey bit may be the funniest sketch ever aired on broadcast television.
