I liked all 5 but one was lesser for a couple reasons.

The Munsters
Gilligan’s Island
Petticoat Junction
Green Acres
The Flintstones

Choose as if we are back in the 1960’s or 70s reruns. (Opinions and mores changed since then)

What I kike, what I don't like; when did I like what now I no longer do.
The Honeymooners was always too sexist and Captain Janeway got too little respect.

The TV shows I didn't like (no longer have a TV), I never watched and so don't remember.
The TV shows I liked tended to get cancelled early and thus nobody remembers them.

Joan of Arcadia lasted but two seasons, long out-lasting the 5 episodes of The Building (Bonnie Hunt, 1993).

in characterization in the first few seasons.

Captain Janeway ascended to better after season 2.

Some parts may be cheesy but it was for the story and the crew.

One of my favorites is Neelix becoming Ambassador.

Neelix had a conversation with Neelix that was not a joke.

One of the 5 best sit-coms ever, imo.
