Question of the Day: What is the best sitcom of all time?
@XSGeek @GaryPoole Xennial here -
M*A*S*H is the best sitcom. It set the bar, the tone, took all of the tropes from earlier sitcoms and defined them to give sitcoms a true lexicon.
M*A*S*H or All In The Family for me.
@GaryPoole Have you noticed that the best sitcoms actually have something to *say* beyond "This is funny"?
@stueytheround @GaryPoole Yes! And they don’t consider arguing as humor.
(<<- looking at The Conners for that one)
@GaryPoole . This, or night court, or Barney Miller.
Oh, those are both great, too
@GaryPoole
Totally with you. Funny, timeless and profoundly anti-war.
@GaryPoole A big chunk of my sense of humor was formed by watching M*A*S*H*. Some may have called allowing a 7 year-year old to watch it was bad parenting, I say it was excellent preparation for adulthood.
@UncaCrunk @GaryPoole M*A*S*H* was great the 1st 3 to 4 seasons. Beyond that it was meaningless self congratulatory drivel. I liked Hawkeye, he was suck a leftie anarchist, straining to not turn into Groucho every 5 minutes..
@GaryPoole
I’m with you Gary.
About the military but never glorified war. Just the contrary.
