1. How could you forget "All In The Family?" |
|
It puts most of the others to shame.

Put in the spinoff Maude as well.
Brady Bunch & the Partridges were kid stuff anyway.
Of course, I was a kid at the time...

5. watched some old MTM shows on DVD |
|
And they REALLY did not age well, IMHO.
Except that Ted Baxter is now EVERY news stations talking head, not an exceptionally slow-witted one.

12. Bob Newhart is still pretty funny. |

I think part of why Mary Tyler Moore didn't age well is that it was often issue-driven, and our view of issues is different today.

16. They were all so entertaining... |
|
I don't even watch sitcoms anymore. "Malcolm in the Middle" was the last one I watched.
I voted for "Maude". I don't think it was necessarily the best one, but I used to practically fall off the couch laughing at that show. I love Bea Arthur.

and the movie it was based on, FM, is pretty good as well, and it has a scene set in TOWER RECORDS! - totally cool for anyone like me who grew up in the 70's and remembers hanging there.
