All in the Family was my all time favorite. Sanford and Son was a close second. Roc is a very underrated all time classic. Married with Children was hilarious. Can't sleep on Good Times either.
damn, how could i forget about this. And someone also mentioned Who's The Boss. I'll throw in Growing Pains and Silver Spoons, along with (even though he's an idiot) Charles In Charge.
Sanford and Son is my number 1 by a mile. The others I will watch if I'm channel surfing are All In The Family,Soap,Martin,Different World and Cosby Show. Believe it or not Soap was one of the funniest shows in history that people don't know about.
I'd have to go with The Cosby Show, Three's Company, Martin, Frasier, Married with Children, The Dinosaurs, Diferent Strokes, M.A.S.H., Taxi, Welcome Back Kotter.
