The Jeffersons
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman
WKRP in Cincinnati

Thanks for doing the work for me!

On my end, I would merely add Maude and Sanford and Son. Although the cheesy side of me would like to list Brady Bunch, Laverne & Shirley, What's Happening and Three's Company.

70 is second place for me.

Between...
Home Improvement
Wings
Fraiser
Friends
Seinfeld
Married with children
mad about you
Fresh Prince
3rd rock from the sun
Newsradio
Roseanne
Coach

There is just no competition in my book.

I mean DAMN.

Why are there two "the"s, e.g., "...made in the the 70s"

The breakdown of the vote looks more like a "Woot demographic survey" than any indication of the best TV decade.

My theory is that it's the TV we were watching when we were aged 5-15. So for me, born in the late '60s, the '70s are where it's at. The large number of votes for the '90s is likely an artifact of Woot's appeal to 20-somethings, born in the late '80s.

In any case, "Welcome Back Kotter" should probably be enough to seal the '70s as the best of them all. Up your nose with a rubber hose, Seinfeld!

Seinfeld started in 1989 just fyi =P

CNN actually sells that shirt in the gift shop in downtown ATL. I'm sure you could order over the phone.

CNN Center in ATL has that one for sale.

That was supposed to be a sitcom? No wonder I didn't understand.
