List of Sit-Com Series Ranked
Still filling this out, but yeah, instead of going outside in Albuquerque, watch these. I’m reading about a lot of series I haven’t seen, but a few of them I’ve watched ten times over. If they make me laugh, they get high marks. If there’s a memorable story line then they rank higher. If there’s too many rich white people with “problems,” I’m probably not gonna laugh. You can sort these by the columns.
| Rank | Name | Date | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Seinfeld | 1989-1998 | The undisputed best show of all time. Nothing comes close. |
| 2 | Schitt's Creek | 2015-2020 | Get past the first few episodes and it's fun. |
| 3 | Derry Girls | 2018-2022 | Super funny. Love it. This should not have ceased production even if the girls grew up. The family was half the fun. |
| 4 | The Big Bang Theory | 2007-2019 | This is on free TV every night at my house. Love it. |
| 5 | 30 Rock | 2006-2013 | This show hurts to watch and you have to pay attention, but it's hilarious if you do the work. |
| The Middle | 2009-2018 | This show gets left off lists all the time, but it's really good and Sue Heck is brilliant. | |
| 6 | The Office | 2005-2013 | Great up until the exit of Steve Carell. Then it was unwatchable. |
| 7 | Modern Family | 2009-2020 | Mostly good for a long run. I enjoyed the whole series. The first year was the best. |
| Two and a Half Men | 2003-2015 | This show has one joke. It's funny. Unless you hate the joke. It wears thin and there's no point in watching after Charlie's departure. | |
| 8 | I Love Lucy | 1951-1957 | Seriously hilarious show. Lucy is the best. |
| Everybody Loves Raymond | 1996-2005 | A rare case of a show getting better the longer it ran. | |
| 9 | South Park | 1997- | Cartoon. Maybe every 15th episode or so is epic. Otherwise it's exhausting. |
| Life in Pieces | 2015-2019 | This show is weirdly uneven, and you eventually hate all the characters except Sophia, but it has hilarious moments. It was doomed from the outset being chopped up into 8 minutes pieces like it is. | |
| 10 | M*A*S*H* | 1972-1983 | Uneven and dated, but still funny. |
| 11 | The Mary Tyler Moore Show | 1970-1977 | Mary Tyler Moore is hilarious. Dated stereotypes. |
| 12 | Taxi | 1978-1983 | It's been awhile, but this was funny with a great cast. |
| 13 | Frasier | 1993-2004 | Overall pretty funny. Probably went on too long. |
| 14 | Arrested Development | 2003-2006 & 2013-2019 | Starts strong and then continuously tanks. |
| 15 | Cheers | 1982-1993 | It's fine, but some people rank this highly. I don't. |
| 16 | All in the Family | 1971-1979 | Maybe not as funny as it used to be, but ground-breaking work. |
| 18 | How I Met Your Mother | 2005-2014 | Dreadful. |
| 19 | WKRP in Cincinnati | 1978-1982 | The chicken and the helicopter and Venus Flytrap. |
| 20 | The Andy Griffith Show | 1960-1968 | Iconic if maybe not as funny as you'd hope. |
| 21 | Fleabag | 2016-2019 | The reviews on this were way better than the show. It has its moments. |
| 22 | Will & Grace | 1998-2006 & 2017-2020 | Nope. Annoying. |
| 801 | The Simpsons | 1989- | Cartoon. Used to watch. Well written. Can't imagine how it's still on. |
| 802 | Futurama | 1999-2003 & 2008-2013 | Cartoon. Tried it. Never laughed once. Quit. |
