That makes you sound really old, and I'm sure that's not the case!
M*A*S*H comes second on my list - watching it at the moment actually.
I'm pretty sure I'm the oldest person posting here! I'm not ancient but I have been around a while!
I've been parked in front of TV since I was but a little tyke and trust me, there have been zillions of sitcoms! I'm including of course, those that I watched in reruns and don't really remember in "first run" time! Dick Van Dyke is one example of that!
All the others I mentioned though I watched when they were first run.
If you think about it, networks put out numerous sitcoms in the fall and then midseason replacements and then summer replacements! That's A LOT of sitcoms!
Cat, you say you are pretty sure you're the oldest here. I remember shows (while they were first running) like Branded, Man From Uncle, Time Tunnel, Julia, Gentle Ben, Flipper, Time Tunnel, The Green Hornet, Laugh-In, etc. I was young, and the memories are vague but I remember them. Do you remember shows like that (not sitcoms admittedly) first hand? I don't want to come right out and ask you your age, but those shows - all within 5 years or so of each other, are the first shows I was first cognizant of and they put my age in the ball park.
Cheers is my favorite sitcom, Frasier second. Mash is a classic that I would like to become more acquainted with on DVD - although my mom loved the show I in my youth didn't have the patience to really watch it or anything else.
