No, but it was a very good show for the first six seasons. Really, it should have been called the John Goodman show because he carried that ****ing thing. Laurie Metcalf was excellent as well.

Its ****ing amazing. I watch it every night from 3am-5am. And yea the later seasons got a little ridiculous.

No. Ever heard of something called Step By Step?

Seinfeld and Arrested Development are the greatest sitcoms. The greatest animated series is the first nine seasons of the Simpsons. Dan Conner is however one of the greatest characters ever.

there wasn't a single weak AD episode. The multiple weaving subplots and frenetic scenes is unparalleled. It takes multiple viewings of each episode to catch something that was missed the first 2 times, and one discovers something new with each viewing.

[Myth]

Roseanne was great, but not greatest of all time. It is more like the Dr. J of sitcoms.

[Budadiiii]

You fools are blinded by nostalgia. Hell if I'm gonna be nostalgic then I guess Boy Meets World is the greatest ever?



Fact of the matter is, Roseanne is pure quality in all aspects of filmography and has a stellar plot. Think of MJ. Thats what Roseanne is to sitcoms.

Roseanne was great, but not greatest of all time. It is more like the Dr. J of sitcoms.
Absolutely not.

Maybe Roseanne was more like Patrick Ewing. The show was larger than life, but ultimately started to go places towards the end that just made it an embarrassment.

Arrested Development is Grant Hill. Great from the beginning, but cut short, ultimately to have a small comeback after a few years.

Seinfeld is the GOAT though. And it all accumulated at about the same time as Jordan ended his Bulls career. Their cameo on Curb Your Enthusiasm was MJ on the Wizards. Was very entertaining and reminded us of what once was, but still not quite the same.

There still is nothing like Seinfeld. I feel like the closest is It's Always Sunny. Not necessarily in quality, but somewhat in style. It is a mix of guys (and 1 girl) without any real storyline (shows about nothing) and they are all essentially selfish, shallow jerks. Always Sunny just makes them bigger, more obvious jerks.

I feel like it was more similar to Seinfeld in the first few seasons. As Sunny got more ridiculous it strayed a bit from the Seinfeld idea.

No, because it was not funny, incredibly overacted, incredibly bad acting, writing, scripting and one of those shows where you could tell what the rest of the episode would be like after 2 seconds. That's why. You tell us why Martin deserves to be ranked with those other shows, please? Why would anybody rank it over The Larry Sanders Show? Heck, there's probably enough reasons to list Step by Step higher than that. Full House deserves to be listed over Martin as well. Didn't like it myself though. The Nanny has a good case here. Frasier actually IS 10x the show that Martin was. Screenplay, acting, plot, overall much better.

People need to stop listing horrible 80's shows like who's the Boss and Step by step and 90's cookie cutter shit like martin. There was a 100 shows like Martin, this one just happened to have Martin Lawrence.

I guess people just turned on the TV to see mediocre actors do exactly what they expected them to do and say what they expected them to say for about 30 minutes, makes it easier to recite among friends over and over to make it a catchphrase. Upon which shows like Martin thrived.

Seriously. Why anyone would ever want to watch some of these shows is beyond me. The actually transcendent shows like AD, Seinfeld, Roseanne, Cheers, Frasier, and Scrubs brought something unique to the table. Seinfeld and AD flipped television on its head, they're both hugely influential. AD's influence is easily seen in television today. Both Cheers and Frasier were brilliantly well written comedies which strayed from formulaic sitcoms. Scrubs was a great show which balanced comedic and heartfelt moments brilliantly.

[heyhey]

I'm happy to see Roseanne gets its due in this thread even though I don't think it's the greatest sitcom. I always feel it gets overlooked but that maybe cause I'm from a urban environment. Roseanne tackled serious issues and problems often glossed over by other tv programs with bittersweet wit. Still there aren't many shows that feature blue collar white "trash" families without devolving completely to caricature the way Roseanne was able to do.

This is the correct answer.

Roseanne is far from being the greatest sitcom of all time. I can think of about 20 others better than Roseanne imo.

Fawlty Towers however is way ahead of Roseanne.

The Germans episode maybe the best episode a sitcom has ever had.

I dare you find an episode of Roseanne that is half as funny as the Germans episode.

I really like Roseanne (until it got s**tty toward the end at least, although the very last episode was powerful). great, extremely relatable characters. roseanne, dan, darlene, and jackie are all amazing. great writing. did a good job at keeping it real and not getting corny too much.

seinfeld isn't my cup of tea, but I get that it's good.

arrested development I think brought in an age of greater wit and even sharper writing. I think 30 Rock is comparable to Arrested Development. Arrested Development had better characters and better running jokes, but I think the dialogue and one-liners on 30 Rock are better than Arrested Development's.

[Loneshot]

If you aren't black, Martin probably wasn't for you. Just like if you aren't white, Roseanne was an awful ****in show. Same with Mash, that shit was awful too.

Seinfeld is the king, and Everybody Hates Chris was really underrated. Fresh Prince was great as well.

agree that everybody hates chris is really good. I think fresh prince was kind of corny and the writing wasn't at the level of these other shows most of the time.

True, i forgot all about Married with Children (looking at the gif), that show as classic. Fresh Prince is good just because of Will Smith and Carlton moments, it really didn't have the depth of other great sitcoms.

It's funnier that's why it deserves to be ranked higher.

I've watched all these shows you've named in your rant, and Martin is funnier. I liked Larry Sander Show, Frasier is alright, but still somewhat corny. Full House is terrible. It was cool as a kid growing up, but watch it as a grown man and you might puke.

Why Martin is being listed as a cookie cutter sitcom it beyond me. Martin did what he wanted in his series, that was act a damn fool. It's obviously not for you if you don't like it.

Obviously, Martin is gonna be different from the Cosby Show. They are both gonna be different from Roseanne. All three will be different from Cheers. All four will be different from Larry Sanders, Step By Step and so forth. If you don't like it fine, watch something you don't like.


I could never get into Friends, but I doubt it was a terrible show. I watched it a few times, it just wasn't for me, move on. Martin was not for you, doesn't mean it's terrible, just move on.

and Kelly Bundy! :banana:

[BuGzBuNNy]

Smart guy was so short lived but was pure greatness. So underrated. I have it as my second or third behind The Fresh Prince(#1) and tied with Boy meets world

I love this theme song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qai7mf2XOXM)

I like the Bing Bang theory for the first 3 season but it has turn to sh1t these last few years.

Arrested Development is consistently funny. Can't wait for the new season :cheers:

Malcom in the Middle


After getting into Breaking Bad, I cannot take my eyes off of Bryan Cranston in Malcom in the Middle. Knowing how great of an actor he is now, I just can't look away.

[no pun intended]

The Office.

Probably not the best, but it never fails to crack me up with its incessant dry humor.

If you mean the Office UK, then yes, probably.

The Office US was good for about the first 5 seasons, after that it began to drag and the quality has just recently increased again this season which is season 9.

Michael Scott leaving the show was a huge blow to a show that was beginning to drag with him still on it. He was one of the highlights on the show and it really dragged it down once he left.

Gabe was a funny character who popped afterward for a couple of episodes and was funny whenever he was one. Hopefully they bring him back.
