Not as deep into or (quite) as old as my taste in film comedy.Married With ChildrenThe JeffersonsAll in the FamilyThe SimpsonsThat 70’s ShowSouth ParkFrasierSeinfeldAbbott and Costello (but of course)Big Bang Theory
Since this thread began I’ve started watching South Park (finished) and The Simpsons (in season eight). Do you have favorite episodes?
My top would have to be:THE ODD COUPLE (Randall/Klugman version)GET SMARTSEINFELDEVERYBODY LOVES RAYMONDALL IN THE FAMILYI'm leaving out THE HONEYMOONERS and A&C SHOW since they had such short runs. But the "Classic 39" of the former and Season 1 of the latter are top-notch.
It’s been so long since I’ve watched either. With South Park, there was this one episode where Cartman slowly tortured his enemy to the point where he cooked the kid’s Mom in chili and made him eat it. So sick and bizarre I had to laugh. The original Christmas Poo episode is great too. I saw that when it aired at my grandmother’s house and when the little piece of poo started talking and leaving stains everywhere he hopped, I lost my breath laughing. I guess it was more shocking back then than today.The Simpsons, gotta go for the Mr Burns baseball team one with all the 80’s and 90’s MLB players.
From the sounds of it CBS was pushing Jackie Gleason to do more seasons of The Honeymooners, but he preferred doing his variety show.
