Sitcoms Rule

A TV tabloid site has chosen the worst sitcoms ever. I find the inclusion of Mr. Belvedere, My Two Dads, Charles in Charge and Double Trouble appalling. These are 80's classics! And don't even get me started on Small Wonder, a TV gem leaving kids everywhere begging their parents for a robotic sibling.

While we are all tired of lists about this or that, I highlight this list simply because the beautiful sitcom seems to be disappearing from current TV lineups. I love sitcoms, but children aren't growing up with great sitcoms anymore. There are no classic sitcoms on TV in 2008 (other than the modern-day cartoon sitcoms like Family Guy). Some may say CBS delivers a few to the airwaves, but really, CBS is just lame.

To add to the list dialogue, below are a few of my least fave sitcoms that the PopCrunch folks neglected to list (in no particular order):
  • Alf - pure torture delivered by an annoying, furry animal.
  • Beverly Hillbillies - even for "early days" sitcoms, this is unwatchable!
  • 3rd Rock from the Sun - Aliens plus John Lithgow equals absurdity.
  • Harry and the Hendersons - Alf failed, why would this be any better? Even more scary is that this show was on for three seasons.
  • Step by Step - Suzanne Somers jumped the shark with this family crap.
  • Dharma & Greg - lead characters not interesting enough for a show, with Jenna Elfman annoying everyone.
  • Ned & Stacey - yet another show with boring characters. Do people really get married for a good apartment?
  • Three's a Crowd - one of the dumber ideas for a spinoff. Poor Jack Tripper.
  • Roseanne - yeah, I know some people really dig this show, but Roseanne was annoying and hard to watch. Same with her lug of a husband.
For a full list of sitcoms, visit your pals at Wikipedia (this is an awesome list).
