Never watched SOAP--don't remember even hearing about it at the time (I was a teenager then--maybe a show like that didn't "resonate" with me at the time, for some reason).
Not-so-smart aleck i was a teenager as well and my family watched it every week. But I knew classmates whose parents wouldn’t allow it. I never really understood this because they didn’t mind daytime soaps during the summer months.
@@SGlitz Why, why would they possibly do that? There are classic TV shows available on Netflix already. So tell me, why would "millennials" do that? What I think is you wanted to leave an edgy boomer comment here but instead of getting "likes$ you look like an asshole. 🤷♂️
These shows are really outdated. Even all in the family is not so funny any more. The only show I can still watch is mash. And I’m not a millennium, just old. Oh, and the Fonz is still great. Not the show, the fonz.
I absolutely loved Happy Days, one of my all-time favorite shows ever, who didn't wanna be like The Fonz & thats who Henry Winkler will always be to me.
I was born in 94 but since my mom was in her late 40's during that time we watched a lot of old sitcoms. I grew up watching All In The Family, Three's Company, Golden Girls, I Love Lucy, Laverne & Shirley, & The Brady Bunch. Out of them all I love Three's Company the most and I still laugh so much watching it. I'm probably the only 19 year old that loves those shows, ha!
For your next "Top 10 Television Sitcoms of the 1960s", I would include: I Dreamed of Jeannie, Batman, Andy Griffith Show, Beverly Hillbillies, The Munsters, Gilligan's Island and Gomer Pyle. I would make Gilligan's Island number one, even though it had only three seasons, it's still remembered today, the plot of the story for the show and the characters. It's still being referenced in movies, TV shows, stand up comedies etc etc.... honest :) :) cool beans xoxo good job.
I don't necessarily think Three's Company should be higher, but I do think Happy Days (and Brady Bunch) should be higher. Kotter and 'KRP were good contenders, too. Since Brady Bunch is here, I also think the Partridge Family could've been an honorable mention, at least.
Barney Miller was awesome!! Way better than Threes Company. One of the things I loved about the show is that they weren’t a bunch of pretty boys. Everybody looked like Fish, Yemana, Chano, Dietrich, Wojohowicz, and Inspector Lugar. I’m sure I’m gonna get a lot of flack for this (I also don’t give a f%&k), but I also like the fact that they didn’t have the token woman. It was probably the most realistic cop show ever (other than Cops).
Bewitched started in mid-60s, that's probably why it's not here. Of the other ones you mentioned, I liked Good Times and Kotter the best. (I never watched SOAP, or maybe just a few times in reruns.)
FreloMaster FreloMaster its all opinion dude. but i agree it should be higher. i also cannot believe that threes company is only 10th and the Jeffersons was not even on the list. not a fan of the Jeffersons but it was quite a popular show
Three's Company was absolutely hilarious. It should've been #1. The Brady Bunch was my all time favorite of the 70's and the Partridge Family didn't even get mentioned.
@@mainecoon6514 (1) My wife & I had a great cat that was the "Maine coon" breed, and it lived to be 22! (2) I was also surprised by no mention of the Partridge Family. (3) I think of Three's Company as more of an 80s show, and it's also not close to being as good (IMHO) as sitcoms like the Mary Tyler Moore show and the Bob Newhart show (which, to me, should be the top 2 here). On this list, I'd put "3's Co." ahead of Sanford & Son, Taxi and the Odd Couple (I'm not quite old enough to have watched much of the Odd Couple, I guess).
All in the Family is my personal favorite TV show of all-time. Followed by Three's Company, Sanford and Son, and Happy Days. The 70's was the best decade for TV...Period.

MASH is the #1 sitcom of all time, nothing better. They put Happy Days too far down the list , definitely top 3.The Facts of Life started in 1979, and definitely should be in the list.
If Facts of Life only started in '79, it makes a lot more sense to put it on an 80s list--which they probably did, in a similar 80s video(?) Aside from that, I think it was mediocre at best. ...Oh, and MASH shouldn't be #1, IMO. To me, it would be a toss-up between Bob Newhart and Mary Tyler Moore.
It's considered a "spinoff" of Maude, and spinoffs were excluded from the list...which is dumb as hell, I think. Good Times was better than Maude, IMHO.
'Happy Days', 'The Odd Couple', 'The Bob Newhart Show', 'Taxi', 'MASH', & 'All in the Family' were excellent! (Which is a lot more than I can say for the others...)
I think the Bob Newhart show and the MTM show should be the top 2, in either order--way better than the rest. I was pretty young in the early 70s (pre-teen), so my top 5 would be those 2 plus Happy Days, the Brady Bunch and the Partridge Family(!!)
Three's Company, Sanford and Son, All in the Family, Americanized versions of the British shows Man About The House, Steptoe and Son and Till Death Us Do Part. Actually Americanizing British shows pretty much sums up Norman Lear's entire career.
No it would have never seen the airwaves and the tragedy of this is that archie bunker did more to quiet racism because he was such an ass about it that people started changing their attitude .Archie made you ashamed to be a racist.but Carroll o Connor played the part brilliantly you hated Archie for being so hateful but you watch the show and you realize that he grew up with that being the way things were and he was just reacting to change very badly but in his own way was kind of a lovable old codger
All these shows were good, and I watched all of them (I didn't watch Taxi much, though.) I also liked 'Bewitched' and 'Love American Style.' I'm not sure if 'Love American Style' counts as a sitcom, though, because it had a rotating cast. I believe that 'Happy Days' was born out of an episode of 'Love American Style.' Also, I think that there was a bias (in this video) against spinoffs (e.g., 'Maude,' 'Rhoda,' 'The Jeffersons.')
I think it should be in the Top 5. And the Partridge Family should've either made the Top 10 or been an honorable mention (if they included honorable mentions).
I'm currently in a 1970s sitcom mood and have been watching "Sanford and Son," "Good Times," and "Different Strokes." I also have been watching "Starsky and Hutch," but that's a 70s drama. All of these are great shows though. I have all of "All in the Family," "Taxi," and "Sanford and Son" on DVD. I also have all of "Good Times" on DVD, but that didn't make the cut here.
I agree, All in the Family should get the top spot. It portrayed important issues with realistic terms but added a twist of humor ; so people would watch.
Taxi's my fave, loved watching it with my uncle and was a real treat getting to meet Christopher Lloyd a few years ago at a Trek con and I asked him a Taxi question on how hew felt on Star Trek. Most there saw Kruge or Doc Brown, I saw Jim
Odd Couple was my all time favorite sitcom period. Love Love Jack Klugman. Now I think my all time fav is Golden Girls but for the 70s Odd Couple for sure.
I'm surprised there weren't any "honorable mentions" included in the video. (and their excluding of "spinoffs" is just stupid--half of this top 10 should be spinoff shows, probably)
There were three pilot episodes for All In The Family (two of which never aired). The first pilot was called Justice For All (fall 1968), the second: Those Were The Days (early 1969) and finally the official All In The Family pilot (which aired in 1970). A little trivia: of the three pilot episodes Those Were The Days was the only one not to have the word All in its title. As for Justice For All, Carroll and Jean were in it, but the character of Michael was originally Richard. They kept Gloria, but these two characters were played by Kelly Jean Peters and Tim McIntre (who died of a drug overdose). Plus Justice For All was the first to use video tape.
You are correct. My point was that All in the Family and Sanford and Son were both superior to the brit versions. Can't say that for 3's company, I never thought that show was very good.
Les: Mr. Carlson, when I think of all the babies in heaven waiting to be born, it makes me think of how wonderful a set of parents you and Mrs. Carlson would be. Mr. Carlson: Well, thanks Les. Les: Mr. Carlson . . . Mr. Carlson: Yes Les? Les: No one is allowed to touch my Silver Sow award! WKRP!
Only season one was great. In fact there is such a thing as the Mork and Mindy effect where by chasing ratings you cause the show to fail. Which is what the producers of M&M did.
'I dream of Jeanie' is from the 60s, 'Who's the Boss' is from the 80s and Different Strokes played 6 of it's 8 seasons in the 80's; 'Full House' is from the late 80s through mid 90s
I watched all those shows, less Mash, but all regular shows. I liked what Carol Oconer said about Archie bunker "When he looked in a mirror, he didn't what he saw"
DO you not know the meaning of the word sitcom? Situation comedy & Dukes of Hazard was not a comedy. One of my favorite shows though so give you props for bringing it up.
This list is obviously focused on US-based sitcoms, not a show like Monty Python's Flying Circus. I agree about the others (Partridge Family should at least be an honorable mention, if they had honorable mentions...)
