Has there ever

been a sitcom before or since that was entirely made up of catchphrases?

Well

That is a very terrible show…

Taxi or Three’s Company? I’ll just compile a bracket over time.

by brettgardner on Mar 13, 2009 1:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Taxi = Greatness

Three’s Company only funny when Furly is on.

Meh

Maybe Taxi was funnier in the context of its time, but it doesn’t do much for me. Three’s Company is putrid.

Only ones I can enjoy when they come on late at night: pre-Kirstie Alley Cheers, first 2 seasons of Curb, first 3 seasons of Seinfeld, first 6 seasons of Simpsons, Honeymooners, and pre-little Ricky Lucy.

Hard for me to stomach much else.

by brettgardner on Mar 13, 2009 1:32 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

sellout

personally i only like the first season of the honeymooners, the first episode of cheers, and the first 4 minutes of the first simpson’s episode

you act like that's not a thing

but it’s pretty common for a person to say:

I think the first X episodes/albums of <really popular tv show/band> are the best things on TV ever.

Doesn’t make the opinion any less stupid.

Saying

Taxi was great

Three’s Company, in retrospect, as an adult, was terrible; however, as a 10-12 year old watching it, I thought it was great.

I agree w/ Adam.

Plus, they often went boobie-unharnessed, which, when you’re 12, is pretty effin cool.

The first Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore, All in the Family, & Soap

should be highly seeded in your brackets.

All in the Family

Forgot about that. I’ll add it to my list and to the AJM bracket.

Newhart

He made ironic blinking a catch phrase.

And few were funnier than Ted Knight.

the first newhart?

you mean the bob newhart show?

you’re going to have to be more specific – the man headlined five tv shows and only one of them was called newhart

by ab03 on Mar 13, 2009 2:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

That's the one

I guess it’s official title was ’The Bob Newhart Show". He said the stuttering of his words caused tension, and tension equals comedy.

Also, Suzanne Pleshette was sexy back then. And if you wanna get wasted, play the ‘Hi Bob’ drinking game with that show.

heh

and actually there were two shows entitled “The bob newhart show” (the other one came first and was a variety show). How confusing.

Your Family Guy hatred is one of your less endearing traits, Adam.

it doesn't even make sense

family guy is tailored for people who watched welcome back kotter and three’s company.

Yeah...

I can’t understand how he loves Welcome Back Kotter, but hates Family Guy. Both have pretty similar structure.

I will say though, I find it disappointing how few of people I hang out with (I’m 23) know what Welcome Back Kotter is. Loved that show when I was younger on Nick at Nite.

i actually first heard of it on family guy

and but then started watching reruns at 1 am. I liked the fact that it was set in D.C. but that show was seriously good. Guy from Terminator 2 can carry a show.
