TOP 12 SITCOMS - by Melchy

TOP 12 SITCOMS, by guest writer Melchy!

------------

12 - CHARLES IN CHARGE
11 - PERFECT STRNGERS: just becuase of the way Bbalki said Larry App-lay-tun, and the Meposian dance of joy
10- LAVERNE & SHIRLEY: because of Lenny and Squiggy
09 - THREE'S COMPANY: cause its funny when Jack trips over the couch
08 - WHO'S THE BOSS: TONY DANZA. need i say more?
07 - COSBY: (early stuff before it got too preachy) plain and simple funny stuff
06 - DIFF'RNT STROKES: whatchoo talkin bout...and its so cheesy its awesome, has the bonus of a great theme song
05 - FACTS OF LIFE: Mrs. Garretyt rules....and the rare case where the spinoff is better than the original show
04 - CHEERS: usually solidly funny.....although I liked Coach better and Diane better
03 - EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND: becuase so many of the situations are dead-on and Marie acts a lot like my mom makes it even funnier/scarier
02 - SEINFELD: because Poppy peed on the couch
01 - FAMILY TIES: every member of the cast was genuinely funny and they actually felt like a real family

HONORABLE MENTIONS:
- SMALL WONDER
- OUT OF THIS WORLD
These Honorable Mentions apply becasue those shows were only shown on the weekends or weekday afternoons.....they could not have survived primetime viewing.....but for Sunday afternoon they were just fine. Charles in Charge is the rare case of a weekend show that could have withstood primetime which is why it gets a number

Thanks, Melchy! Being the Ultimate 80s Sitcom Guru that you are, I find your list very interesting and funny. However, where's ALF? Married With Children? Andy Griffith?!!!!
