Your Favorite 80's Sitcom

Missing from the list are Gimme A Break, The Facts of Life and Kate and Allie

And my favorite 80s sitcom of all time is Square Pegs - box set released next month!

Wonder Years, though not sure if it's a sit-com. Special affection for Charles in Charge since we watched that at the after-school program. (Very educational.) Most of these I only saw later as I wasn't allowed much TV as a kid, and I was born in the 80s.

same here...

we only had a few shows we could watch... sometimes we could watch Brady Bunch after school ... my mom would let me stay up later on Thursdays to watch Knight Rider and on Saturdays we could watch Air Wolf ... we could watch the A-Team too... and then on Sundays we could watch "The Wonderful World of Disney" and if my dad wasn't home we could watch this show called Fraggle Rock that was on after Disney...

I wasn't allowed to watch Full House because my mother deemed it too stupid. I've since caught up on most episodes though, thank goodness.

My mother did the same thing with the Monkees - it only made me want to watch it more, she finally broke down and allowed it

Has to be Night Court just because it's the only show that I still find funny today. All the others I really couldn't watch any more, they'd just bore me. Night Court had the funniest and most surreal situations crop up, many of them unrelated to the justice system, and it never took itself too seriously. Best 80s Sitcom in my opinion.

I also voted for Night Court. John Laroquette is hilarious. It is one of the few 80's shows I'd watch in reruns.

I was born in the 80s too, but I watched most of these shows (I was raised in a non-restrictive tv-watching household). I have to say that I have no idea what Night Court is though.

Wonder Years is the best one listed there by far. I love films / shows that take place in 60s / 70s american suburbia.

I guess I had to pick The Wonder Years. And then later went on to LOVE Boy Meets World, which had another Savage brother in it. Love those Savages!

But I also loved The Cosby Show. When I was young Full House was one of my favorites, but that started in the late 80's I think. Now it seems pretty dumb when I watch it but I was in love with that show. (same with Family Matters, Step by Step,etc I used to love TGIF on ABC every Fri night)

Also liked The Facts of Life, Growing Pains and Family Ties a lot. There were more but my mind is blank right now. I didn't like Night Court, seemed really boring to someone my age and I didn't watch Cheers(don't think I was allowed to anyway as a little kid, so I don't get why it was so popular since I never saw it much).

I guess that's as many years in the 80s as the wonder years. I still remember hearing the news that Latka died

Andy Kaufman was amazing and strange. When Latka became his alter ego - the guy was a total opposite of himself and he was so convincing. What a rare talent.

The Facts of Life, The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Growing Pains. I couldn't pick just one.

I watch Kate and Allie and Growing Pains now- they are on certain channels we have. I would love Facts of Life to come back on one of these channels.
