Nearly forgot the reason why I created this poll, but I am curious what everyone's favourite sitcom is?

My answer is Frasier.

Well that is the either Cheers or other sitcom. My apologies, I will hate forgetting to put that as an option as the Internet commands me to
 
My favourite is The Good Place and it's not even close. I don't do a lot of live action sitcoms in recent years, but The Good Place is a masterpiece I hold dear to my heart.

I was a huge fan of HIMYM back in the day, but it aged like milk and ended terribly, so it hasn't stayed so near and dear for me. Sitcoms were often just background TV or the thing you put on because nothing else good was on, so streaming pretty much killed any time I spend watching them.
 
Multi-cam:

1) Seinfeld
2) Everybody Loves Raymond
3) Cheers
4) Frasier
5) Newsradio

Single-cam:

1) Malcolm in the Middle
2) Curb Your Enthusiasm
3) The Office
4) The Larry Sanders Show
5) Louie
6) Scrubs
7) Parks and Recreation

Animated:

1) The Simpsons
2) King of the Hill
3) Futurama
4) South Park
5) Bob's Burgers
6) Mission Hill
 
The lack of Frasier almost made me spill my sherry, even more so given the Simpsons crossovers.

Such a shame that the creator of some of the best UK sitcoms went on to lose his mind on twitter so won't mention those ones.

So I'll just shout out Spaced and Blackadder instead.
 
I am currently watching the third season of Full house and I like it a lot. So I like Full house and The Simpsons the most.

The Simpsons.

As for non-animated ones, it's Seinfeld, with none other even coming close.
 
Aside from Simpsons, Clone High's pretty much the only sitcom I've seen that I really like
 
My favourite is of course The Simpsons by quite a long way and Bob's Burgers would be second so I voted for animated, but for non-animated sitcoms I think I'd pick Frasier. There are quite a few I like quite a lot, but Frasier's one of the few non-cartoons I love.
 
community, scrubs, roseanne and muthafuckin DINOSAURS baby. I am a sucker for the 90s and early 00s era of sitcoms in general even the schlocky ones tho, my sentimental side can always appreciate some boy meets world

I must echo the sentiment that HIMYM was great at the time but has rapidly aged quite poorly, I'm sure it's still got plenty of funny in it but yeah
 
Scrubs is one of those shows I felt sad to finish, even though the last season was kind of unnecessary (The last episode featuring J.D. is great though, ends his story on a satisfying note). Besides the many laughs I got it could be quite thoughtprovoking and emotional at times.
 
Simpons and South Park for animated shows and Seinfeld for just regular sitcoms.

Same as @B-Boy and @stryke . I loved that show, so much i actually made a review for each original version episodes. It's fine and the humor is often intelligent.
Modern Family was good as well, but i notice i was not fan of some characters such Haley and Dylan, they were useless, in my POV.
 
Simpsons will always be my number one sitcom. Recently, I have been watching some more Family Guy, Bob's Burgers and even American Dad!, mostly because it means I have something to watch before I go to sleep (which is quite late in the day, I know)

As for live action sitcoms, I don't watch then much (especially when compared to animated sitcoms), though I will say that some of my more watched ones include, in no particular order, Frasier, Everybody Love Raymond, Friends and The Office.

Of the animated, of course The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers.
 
asking this on the simpsons forum is just going to get you biased answers.

I do love Red Dwarf but it definitely needs an asterisk in terms of calling it a fave.

s1 is very hit and miss.

s2-s5 is pretty much peak comedy sitcom with only the rare mistep.

s6 the break between s5 and losing half of the gestalt writing entity did some damage. There is one of the best episodes period in there with a making of clip out there that makes it even better. Generally my advice for the longest time was to watch the first season then stop in the sixth before the last episode. Yes you miss a truly excellent Rimmer moment, and some fun dimension shenanigans which Lower Decks definitely cribbed some notes from for their own series finale.

s7-8 are mostly bad with one of the very worst episodes to ever disgrace the show in Duct Soup. Couple of solid eps like the JFK one, and yes that song is amazing, but I was of the opinion that Red Dwarf was dead, and the corpse was starting to get properly rank.

Back to Earth is alright. Couple of fun riffs on Blade Runner, and some amusing meta stuff about Craig Charles' career outside of the show but it didn't do enough to justify it's existence to me.

s10 to my absolute disbelief is kinda solid with one genuinely stand out, yes this is a great episode of Red Dwarf. I genuinely had to change my point of view that nothing past s6 had been worth it. Really was bloody lovely to be proven so wrong.

s11 though and onwards, I just couldn't do it anymore. Bless 'em, but these guys playing their characters are so old at this point I was getting down watching them trying to salvage the tired material, and the first episodes of that season I watched weren't enough to convince me to stick around. I'm happy they're still getting paid though and that they're still going as it's a show that has such a special place in my heart. Red Dwarf genuinely was the formative sci-fi as a child for me that Star Wars or Star Trek was to so many others. I didn't see my first episode of Trek until I was 17, and Star Wars I had no real love for outside of thinking that New Hope was pretty good, but Red Dwarf I watched and rewatched over and over. Read all the books, thought the book written by the guy who left was better than the one who stayed while also thinking those two books showed why the show was best when they were working together, and even used to read the fan magazine. Really I wish I had kept that, and also knew about polybagging to preserve them, as the comic sequel they did to Polymorph was significantly better than the one they did later in the show during season 7.
 
Straight up funniest: Brooklyn Nine Nine

Favourite "dramedy": Last Man on Earth

Overall best: 30 Rock

Really love those comedies where the season finale will likely leave you crying instead because it balances drama so im including a category for that. Good Place is another one like that.
