Lea Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Soap is a definite yes and I like Sanford & Son so Kevin can do that one and it's bye-bye to poor Mary again To make it easier for MC lets leave me with Soap and credit Kevin with Sanford & Son. This is getting to confusing for anyone good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 This has been the toughest Top Ten list in which I've participated. I hate that I had to leave so many great shows off. I could easily have made this a top thirty. As a matter of fact there were only a few shows nominated that I didn't care for at least a little. It was also difficult to rate them top to bottom. They're all 1's in my heart. 1-SCTV (Second City Television) 2-Monty Python 3-Daily Show 4-Seinfeld 5-Soap 6-M*A*S*H 7-Cheers 8-All in the Family 9-ALF 10-Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In I also tried to place myself back in the time when these shows originally aired in order to get the proper perspective. I'm not sure I succeeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Well said, Joe. the show I nominated is really called "Monty Python's Flying Circus" the Monty Python boys did some other stuff besides that TV show too (mostly films and live shows) Sorry about that, I jotted them down quickly. It's too late for me to edit my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had a hard time separating the sitcoms from the variety & sketch type comedy shows. This almost could have been split into two categories I think.

MindCrime Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 This almost could have been split into two categories I think. The problem with doing a Variety theme, is coming up with 30-40 nominations. It seems like everybody would only be able to nominate one each and then choose like 7 for it to work right.

Lucky Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 The Carol Burnett Show (true variety), SNL (sketch comedy), and the Tonight Show (late night comedy/talk) are all very different from a traditional sitcom. I dunno if we'd have 30-40 nominations, but there are a lot more that weren't nominated here. I'm not complaining, just thinking out loud ... this is great just as it is Kenne.

Shawna Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I've sort of always seen variety shows and sketch comedies in the same light. Sitcoms are different in that they are situation comedies, characters put in a humorous situation and having to deal with it for a 1/2 hour or 1 hour show. Variety or sketch comedies are a conglomeration of a lot of stuff thrown in together and sewn up. Just my 3 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I had to eliminate some of my favorite variety and/or skit comedy shows, like Laugh-In, SNL, Mr. Show, and, of course, Monty Python.)

Jenny Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 It was hard to choose, but I chose amongst the ones I've seen the most of and basically have grown up and older with: 1. The Cosby Show favorite episode: one where the girls are fighting with the guys over whether having a stripper at a bachelor party is sexist 2. Cheers how can I pick just one favorite 3. Seinfeld favorite episode: the one where they wager on who can remain "the master of their domain" 4. Three's Company favorite episode: Jack thinks Terry is pregnant and asks her to marry him 5. Home Improvement a favorite episode: Tim and Jill learn ballroom dancing 6. The Honeymooners to the moon, Alice 7. The Carol Burnett Show I loved it when the cast made each other crack up 8. M*A*S*H a show that didn't grow on me until I saw it in reruns 9. Taxi the episode in the nomination clip is one of my favorites 10. Happy Days a part of my childhood I forgot to nominate "In Living Color"...another hilarious show, but oh well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 It was hard to leave Carol Burnett Show out...I loved it when they couldn't keep a straight face also...And Tim Conway doing the "old man" bit was hysterical!...it was one of my favorties among many others...this was a tuffy that's for sure....and how can you not love The Reverend Jim on Taxi...
