I think Family Matters and Full House, while appealing to young teens, really is about as far from funny as its gets when you are an adult.

I freely admit I watched just about every episode of Full House growing up as well. I just think the demographic is so small that it shouldnt be on this list.

I also think its crazy that 30Rock made it all the way up to 20 in just a couple years. People are so in love with Tina Fey right now that she could do just about anything right now. Granted I absolutely LOVE that show but its not even the top comedy on tv right now.

How I Met Your Mother is easily one of the funniest shows on television as well as My Name is Earl.

I am a crazy tv buff (as many of you already know)

Here is my quick notes on these shows

50. Everybody loves Raymond - should be way higher on this list. My wife and I call ourselves The Barones because we are so much like Ray and Debra.
49. Newhart - loved it as a kid
48. Nightcourt - also loved this show as a kid
47. Family Guy - should be higher. great comedy, but its gotta be your type of humor to really enjoy.
46. The Jeffersons - Never really watched
45. Hogan's Heroes - Hated this friggin show. HATED it.
44. Laverne and Sherley - Liked it as a kid and I like everyone else, tried Pepsi and Milk. Haroooooop.
43. The Golden Girls - Fuck you. This show sucks. But probably appeals to the 40-70 female demo.
42. Malcolm in the Middle- Funny until about season 3
41. Gilligan's Island - Terrible show
40. Scrubs - I think its hilarious when I watch it, but should probably swap places with Raymond
39. Green Acres - Never seen it
38. Taxi - GREAT GREAT show and should be in the top 10.
37. WKRP in Cincinnati - Good show probably right where it belongs
36. Arrested Development - Take this off the list. Terrible
35. Sanford and Son - Red Foxx freaked me out as a kid. Didn't like
34. Family Ties - Great 80's show. This and the Cosby Show ruled the 80's with good reason
33. The Dick Van Dyke Show - Never seen it
32. Will and Grace - See Malcolm in the Middle
31. Welcome Back Kotter - Good show, not overly funny though. Too high on the list
30. Married...With Children - This show changed TV forever. It was considered scandelous at the time. I loved it and Kelly Bundy for many many years. Looking back, its not that funny. But at the time it was legendary
29. Happy Days - No maam. Move it off this list.
28. Maude - Maude? Really? No thanks
27. Mork and Mindy - Nanoo Nanoo. I was too young to appreciate Robin Williams in his cocaine induced best.
26. Soap - Never even heard of it to be honest
25. Murphy Brown - Never saw one episode. No comment
24. Barney Miller - See above
23. The Brady Bunch - GET THE FUCK OUT
22. Good Times - Not good times at all
21. Sex and the City - Isn't this show like a dramaedy? My wifes favorite show ever. Had its moments of laughter, but overall I can't stand it.
20. 30 Rock - I was suprised at the time when I first looked at it, but now I think its about right seeing the Brady Bunch near it.
19. The Odd Couple - Too old for me to know much about
18. Curb Your Enthusiasm - Funny ass shit.
17. Get Smart - Too old
16. South Park - Good stuff. Classic really. Changed tv as well in the 90's.
15. Frasier - Is this a fucking joke?
14. The Office - Sweet. This show is friggin hilarious indeed
13. The Bob Newhart Show - Was this the hotel/inn one? I always get them mixed up. Funny though.
12. The Larry Sanders Show - Never seen it
11. The Honeymooners - OVERRATED, but probably changed tv back then.
10. Friends - Great show that provides many a laughs for men and women. Should probably be top 5.
9. I Love Lucy - No Maam
8. Roseanne - Great show until about season 5.
7. The Cosby Show - Number 2 in my opinion. I love this show. Got a little cheesy when Olivia showed up and all the random people in the house, but originally priceless.
6. M*A*S*H - Most hated show of all times.
5. Cheers - Number 3 on my personal list. Great, legendary, perfect show.
4. The Mary Tyler Moore Show - Never seen it.
3. All in the Family - Racists love this show. I do not.
2. Seinfeld - Number 1 easily. No question. Not even close. Well documented as my favorite show of all times.
1. The Simpsons - Meh. Has its moments. But I dont even snicker at this show anymore. It was great 10 years ago when you got stoned with your buddies and what not.
