    The perfect sitcom, In my opinion, was the van Dyke show (the original). It had everything, great characters, great writing, great acting. Following that was All In the Family, arguably the sitcom that had the most influence on society. Friends had one of the best character groups of any of them.

    I have tried getting into Seinfield and the Office, but I just never found them very funny. Seinfield had some amusing quirks, but I find the Office just plain stupid.

    Three others that deserve mentioning are I Love Lucy (the yardstick by which they all are measured), the Mary Tyler Moore show and Taxi. Taxi had the quirkiest set of characters ever. Latka and Rev Jim are true classics.

    "Grace Under Fire". Grace had my sense of humour and the show was just really based on a everyday working mother who used her humour to get through her day.

    "According to Jim" and "Two and a Half Men". Love the antics

    "All in the Family" (although they sure wouldn't air a show today with the things that 'Archie" had to say)

    "Everybody Loves Raymond". Again, the antics! Good choice of characters all the way around!! (I was sad when Peter Boyle (Frank) died...he was such a good actor, and really made the show!!)

    "I Love Lucy" and the "Honeymooners". Classics!

    "Cheers" and "Frasier" (and Kelsey Grammer's new show with Patricia Heaton "Back To You" is good too.

    I used to watch Seinfeld and sometimes watched it in re-runs until Michael Richards (Kramer) had his ridiculous public outburst! Now I can't stand to watch the show because of him.
