Rick and Morty??

I'll be annoying and suggest that the best sitcom of all time is Fawlty Towers.

It has a situation and the comedy results from it.

@Thodsis

That ever-fiddled-with sign was inspired 🤣

@Thodsis Fawlty Towers is great.
shinyplasticlove · 51-55, M
@Thodsis Yes. That show was great.

I like the ones with gentler humor. Golden girls was good. Some British ones were among the best: 'Darling Buds of May' and 'As Time Goes By' come to mind.

@ffony From a blustery Ralph Kramden was uttered my favorite - and warmest - sitcom comment.

From the 19:00 mark to the 20:20 mark - - within those 80 seconds one of the great friendships in 1950s TV history was explained perfectly.

@SW-User Some of them are a bit hit and miss but yeah if you watch the very first pilot episode you'll know straight away if it something you'll like. I couldn't stop laughing the first time I saw that one.

@SW-User And yeah I think there is 7 seasons I'm just waiting for the last one to hit Netflix but I've seen the first 6 seasons.

My ancient noodle needs some stimulation. Dick Van Dyke and Cheers reruns don't cut it anymore...

Most popular, maybe.

But my vote for the best goes to King of the Hill
All In The Family, Mash, Mary Tyler Moore Show and Bob Newhart Show weren’t even on the list!

All In The Family, Seinfeld, Friends, perhaps ?

We're fossils... I'm gonna "get with it" if it kills me. 🤣
@SW-User I guess I’m just gonna have to remain without "it". 😅

Ahem... you already have "it". You're in good company - https://www.vanityfair.com/style/photos/2016/10/it-girls-of-every-decade

It actually is really good, but you've got to go into it without any preconceived notion that the main character is even remotely the hero. He's definitely not, for reasons I can't reveal because the story unfolds in a certain way.

I would strongly recommend you watch the episodes in order, rather than watching what somebody tells you is their favorite episode, because even though it masquerades as being your standard episodic adventure story, it's not.

I'll tell you the basic premise as of season 1 without any spoilers. Super scientist and alcoholic depressive Rick Sanchez has interdimensional adventures with his grandson Morty. It's strongly suggested even at the beginning that most of their adventures are illegal. Beth, Rick's daughter, is married to a man named Jerry Smith, who resents the hell out of Rick dragging Morty around the multiverse, and in turn, Rick resents the hell out of Jerry for being a basic, stupid human who knocked up his daughter and ended her chances at becoming something special.

It MUST be good - there'll be at least 3 more seasons of it for a total of 10.

It seems to me we've talked about this before... like maybe a year ago. (My brain ain't what it used to be, that's fer sure... )
KarenisKenziesmum · 51-55, F
I would guess it's Only Fools And Horses.
