AOL put out a list of the top 50 comedies of all time. I took a look at it, I don't have any major gripes, except these shows I don't think belong AT ALL in this listing of the top 50 TV Comedies of All Time...
7. The Cosby Show
43. The Golden Girls
49. Newhart
Some of the other comedies I haven't seen, so I don't feel knowledgable enough to have a preference, but these three shows I have seen enough of, and frankly, I don't get it. I would have thrown Maude in the bunch too, but I didn't want to seem like a Bea Arthur hater, plus Adrienne Barbeau, although not funny, was why a lot of males watched anyways.
I won't quibble about order, either, since it's so subjective anyways.
And now for some love for three TV comedies that weren't listed that should have been:
Leave it to Beaver
The Andy Griffith Show
Bewitched
The Tracey Ullman Show - if for no other reason, because it lead to The Simpsons.
Okay, I take it back. Maude goes off the list.
I know - Leave it to Beaver? Like I said, it's subjective, and there was a time my brothers and friends watched the syndicated reruns of that show. And laughed. That Eddie Haskell, he was a character.
Thanks!
