part of my life. It has kept me company, shaped my views, and has provided endless hours of entertainment.
Over the years my tastes have changed, broadened, and matured, but I have always enjoyed, and still do, the situation comedy.
Sitcoms were a type of program my family and I would often sit down to watch and laugh together.
My earliest memories include watching programs like Soap, Taxi, Barney Miller, M*A*S*H and The Mary Tyler Moore Show in reruns.
As I grew older I fell in love with shows like The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Growing Pains, and Roseanne.
The Wonder Years was another favorite at a time when I was just beginning to understand nostalgia and how poignant sitcoms could be.
Even as an adult I enjoyed Home Improvement, Friends, Murphy Brown, Designing Women, and so many others.
Now I’ve finally discovered Family Guy and am a bit obsessed with that program.
This week’s focus is your favorite sitcoms. List your favorite sitcoms from any age – one, five, ten, as many or as few as you’d care to list.
I look forward to reading your selections and comparing them to mine!

Welcome Back Kotter that introduced John Travolta was exceptional. Cheers was introduced to us by a good friend, and we got hooked on it. All In The Family, The Honeymooners, The Bill Cosby Show are just a few of what we consider to be great TV.

ReplyDeleteArrested Development quirky hilarious! Three seasons but really a classic if youve got that perfectly warped quick sense of humor. Also quirky Pushing Up Daisys (being a pie lover myself).Then The Office all these have (or had) excellent writting.
