Okay, so now that The Big Bang Theory situation comedy is showing reruns all over television, I've seen every episode several times over. It's almost addicting.

We all have different tastes--likes and dislikes-- when it comes to what we consider humorous. Here's my partial list of "All Time Favorites". Remember, these are sit-coms, in no particular order (except perhaps decade produced).

Back in the 50's, there was, of course, I Love Lucy, still in reruns. As a kid, I liked Leave it to Beaver, even Father Knows Best. I'm not sure if shows like Jack Benny and George Burns were considered "sit-coms".

I was in college from '61-'66, so I missed out on many episodes of my favorites, such as the Andy Griffith (loved Barney) and Dick Van Dyke shows. Later in that decade, I liked Sanford and Son (Red Foxx: "Elizabeth--It's the big one!), Happy Days (corny, but cute), All in the Family (but hated Archie). Never cared for the spin-offs.

The 70's was the "hayday" of sit com genius. We had perhaps my all time favorite-- MASH. Bob Newhart was funny. I'm blanking out on some other good ones during that time span. Oh, Mary Tyler Moore!

I enjoyed The Cosby Show in the 80's and beyond (I'd have to look up the actual dates). Then came Home Improvement, Frazier, Wonder Years--all cute and funny.

Many "hits" were unwatched by me for one reason or another: Cheers, Seinfeld (at first), Everybody Loves Raymond, Rozanne (ugh), Scrubs (double ugh), Friends, How I Met Your Mother, and many more.

Nowadays, the ONLY sit-com I watch is The Big Bang Theory. I might try another one, but am usually turned off. And I don't mean to offend anybody's alternate taste. I simply don't enjoy shows like 30 Rock or The Office, etc. It's probably an "old age" thing. Call me a fuddy duddy, but if I don't think it's funny, I don't watch it.
I tried to like anything Cristina Applegate was in--even Married, Without Children. Why? Her mother (Nancy Priddy) was our babysitter, back in South Bend! The Priddys lived next door.

Your turn. Have a great weekend! Hurry back Fredo!
