- StarsLucille BallDesi ArnazVivian VanceThe wife of a band leader constantly tries to become a star - in spite of her having no talent, and gets herself (along with her best friend) into the funniest predicaments.Original run from 1951-57. Does not include Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show, which except for the Tallulah Bankhead episode was largely lame.
- CreatorLarry DavidJerry SeinfeldStarsJerry SeinfeldJulia Louis-DreyfusMichael RichardsThe continuing misadventures of neurotic New York City stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his equally neurotic New York City friends.The last two season of this show were sadly lacking due to the departure of Larry David. The quality is truly lacking, despite the stellar ratings...go figure.
- CreatorJames L. BrooksAllan BurnsStarsMary Tyler MooreEdward AsnerGavin MacLeodThe lives and trials of a young single woman and her friends, both at work and at home.Not one bad season...it just kept getting better and better, but Mary knew when to leave.
- CreatorPaul HenningStarsBuddy EbsenDonna DouglasIrene RyanA nouveau-riche hillbilly family moves to Beverly Hills and shakes up the privileged society with their hayseed ways.After watching every episode on Me-TV recently, I noticed a sharp decline in quality for the last three seasons. The first two are undoubtedly the best, although there are still some winners in the middle seasons.
- CreatorMark BrazillBonnie TurnerTerry TurnerStarsTopher GraceLaura PreponMila KunisA comedy revolving around a group of teenage friends, their mishaps, and their coming of age, set in 1970s Wisconsin.Skip the last couple seasons. First five are great!
- CreatorTed KeyStarsShirley BoothBobby BuntrockDon DeForeThe misadventures of the Baxter family and their live-in maid, Hazel Burke.Very well crafted series.
- CreatorNorman LearStarsBea ArthurBill MacyConrad Bain"All In The Family" spin-off centered around Edith's cousin, Maude Findlay, a liberal, independent woman living in Tuckahoe, New York.Bea Arthur in her defining TV role. Such great chemistry between her and Rue McClanahan.
- CreatorJackie GleasonStarsJackie GleasonArt CarneyAudrey MeadowsA bus driver and his sewer worker friend struggle to strike it rich while their wives look on with weary patience.Classic Gleason!
- CreatorNorman LearStarsCarroll O'ConnorJean StapletonRob ReinerA working class man constantly squabbles with his family over the important issues of the day.Ground-breaking.
- CreatorJerrod CarmichaelWillie HunterAri KatcherStarsJerrod CarmichaelAmber Stevens WestLil Rel HoweryStand-up comedian Jerrod Carmichael navigates through life with his therapist-in-training girlfriend and his heavily-opinionated family.Almost every episode takes on a sensitive issue within this family that most families would not want to talk about: drug use, sexual issues (strippers, threesomes), gun violence. The great part is that you'll split your sides laughing yet still feel for the characters who are having a tough time with said issue. That's groundbreaking!
