Ten Funniest Sitcoms Ever

By Wayne Torres

Three's Company: This show started in the 1970s and was a surprise hit. A guy pretending to be gay and living with 2 women was very provocative back then. Maybe even taboo to many during that era.

The Dick Van Dyke Show. Who hasn't heard of this show? And for those fortunate enough to watch it in it's prime. It is well deserving of it's position in this list.

Arrested Development. This show, which revolved around the lives of the Bluth family, was created by none other than Ron Howard. Very funny with absolutely hilarious characters. However, this show only enjoyed a short run on the air.

Seven. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Similar to Seinfeld, this sitcom's characters were selfish and insecure but also very funny.

I Love Lucy. This very funny show has been showing on the air since 1951. Obviously, re-runs but still funny even in today's standards. This show has many die-hard fans proven by the I Love Lucy conventions every year.

Curb Your Enthusiasm. If profane language offends you, do not watch this show. Otherwise, very entertaining sitcom from the creator of Seinfeld. Talk about successful.

Four. The Simpsons. Yes, it's a cartoon. But a cartoon that has been making us all laugh for 20 odd years.

3. All In The Family. Ground breaking stuff in this hilarious sitcom. Not your typical kind of humor but you'll laugh just the same.

Two. Seinfeld. Always classified as the funniest sitcom of all time, even though it was often called "The show about nothing." It was not only consistently funny, they knew when to end it. Seinfeld went out with a bang. For those who have watched the entire series, you will note that the show began and ended with the same sentence.

One. The Honeymooners. Jackie Gleason once said that they were four people on one small set that managed to be funny and entertaining without profanity or any sort of sexual innuendo. Most of the episodes took place in the Kramden's kitchen with only the four primary actors. And it was funny.
