Voted 90's just for Seinfeld..

..was tempted to vote 00's for Big Bang Theory though.

Voted 90's because of Married with Children, Home Improvement and Seinfield. Even though Married with children was started in 87 I count it as 90's because a majority of the show was in the 90's.

All the stuff that people remember fondly from the 70's? Totally 80's, dude!

Can't beat Seinfeld.

The 80s. Blackadder, Red Dwarf, The Young Ones, Only Fools & Horses, etc. etc.

00's there is so many choices! They green lighted so many shows that they had to get some winners in there sometime. I voted 00's because its it what's on the most, and 'Lost' is probably my favorite show ever.

'90s. I can't stand most of the newer sitcoms. The humor changed so much in 10 years

00's because of 'The Office'... I rest my case

What's the deal with all of this online polls?

when they said 00's they meant 1900's, right? that silent comedy was just the bees knees!

What a bunch of wee lasses you are.

The 70s:
All in the Family (Archie Bunker)
The Mary Tyler Moor Show
M*A*S*H
The Bob Newhart Show (the 1st one)
The Jeffersons
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman
WKRP in Cincinnati
Taxi
Barney Miller
The Odd Couple

Does Arrested Development count as a sitcom? It was way ahead of its time.

But also, between the Office, 30 Rock, Modern Family, and Parks and Recreation, all of which started in the last decade, I voted the 00s.

...and Friends. Amen on the rest, more or less (Home Improvement was a bit sappy for me), but Friends is the greatest sitcom to every grace a screen, in my opinion.

- Perhaps the greatest line ever uttered on TV:

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

Add Soap and good Times to this list and we have a winner! Many of these challenged the status quo, and sought to reflect and influence social mores. Most prior programing merely re-enforced conformity.
These whippersnappers* will never understand!
*Whippersnappers= the curmudgeon emerges! Tawanda!!!

As someone already said - the '70's

Name that many great sitcoms in any other decade. Sure there are great sitcoms in each one, but to vote for an entire decade because of one show no matter how great it is is silly. Sure Seinfeld can be discussed as the greatest of all time, but that does not trump an entire decade.

When it comes to sitcoms, no other option is clickable: 50s-60s. Damned emotional memory reaction. I may (I will) change my mind a few dozen times over the next twenty-four hours.

Let us not forget about Hogan's Heroes.

90s. Seinfeld, Home Improvement, and Friends. 'Nuff said.

The Desi Arnaz Show (Lucille Ball)
The Honeymooners (Jackie Gleason)

These two alone make all other decades FAIL

(Old Fart sez)

The 80's had a few shows going for it, but the 90's cleaned house. I like Frasier and Everybody Loves Raymond in addition to most of the aforementioned winners.

You voted 90s most likely because you weren't around for the truly groundbreaking sitcoms of the 70s, like M*A*S*H, All In The Family, The Jeffersons, Good Times, Happy Days, etc. Believe me, Seinfeld ranks among the top 5 ever, I agree, but the 70s had more great comedies.

I actually can't stand Seinfeld. I was born too late to watch and understand the 70's sitcoms, but many were in syndication in the 80's, and the 70's easily had the best sicoms

If there's a toast and the cry of Cheers goes out, you'll still here a quiet Sienfeld shortly after...

Sienfeld might be the best thinking mans sitcom if it were not for M*A*S*H.

Other slapstick sitcoms are more a dime a dozen, but I can't recall a better decade than the '70's, I understand the last 2 superbowls had greater viewers than the M*A*S*H final show, thats a pretty remarkable feat!

You mean they don't? Yet another belief shattered!!!

It was way tough picking between the 90's and the 00's. Seinfeld is the end all be all for me as far as sitcoms go, but I couldn't really remember any other shows that were that great.

2000's on the other hand provided us with The Office, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Arrested Development (even though that didn't last), and who couldn't forget the gem that is Two and a Half Men? lol

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but eh.

Nice! What site did you get it on? I totally need one. I need a shirt that says "The Jerk Store Called, They're running out of you!" haha

No, I left those turds out on purpose...

The only sitcom that matters is the boghog Van Dyke show. I think that's been scientifically proven somewhere but I can't be bothered to look up the journal citation.
