@Cantsayno I remember MASH and All in the Family to be the first sitcoms to have strong dramatic content - they could be thought provoking and relevant while being just plain funny. The ability to do both is what made them great

The most seminal show was All in the Family. Norman Lears crown jewel that spawned many other shows such as Good Times, The Jeffersons, and Maude for a few. It made the 70s seem like a new era of attitudes particularly towards racism. We could use something like that now!

From a broad perspective, it's probably Simpsons. Not just in reach and popularity, but specifically mentioned by a US president as badly influencing the US public. In a lot of ways, you can trace a lot of the current dysfunction of the US back to cultural norms proposed by that show

It's hard not to say Twilight Zone or Sopranos. I think there are several that stand at the very top. They're that good.

@Thrust Hitch's show was great, too. TZ steals the thunder from AH and Outer Limits, too.
Thrust · 56-60, M
@uncalled4 Outer Limits isn't in the class with either. Hitchcock had the juice to get A listers to do television (saw one recently with Peter Lorre and Steve McQueen)

@Thrust it didn't have the fire of the other shows, no.
