Theo and Rudy love the Jello-O Pudding Pops! - michaelhughes

Yes

2 Family Ties

This is still the best family sitcom, it launched the lucrative and beloved career of Michael J Fox and in it's prime it was the smartest and funniest show of it's time

Definitely deserves top 10...as it is now. Should be #1.

Before the simpsons, before the osbournes and before family guy, this was the best family sitcom ever!

Steven Keaton is the best T.V. father ever. This show is highly intelligent and humorous, unlike today's television.

3 Cheers Cheers Cheers is an American sitcom that ran for eleven seasons between 1982 and 1993. The show was produced by Charles/Burrows/Charles Productions in association with Paramount Network Television for NBC and created by the team of James Burrows, Glen Charles, and Les Charles.

CHEERS IS THE BEST SITCOM OF THE 1980s HANDS DOWN SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE ON THIS LIST SMH

4 Growing Pains
5 Full House Full House Full House is an American sitcom created by Jeff Franklin for ABC. The show chronicles a widowed father, Danny Tanner, who enlists his best friend and brother-in-law to help raise his three daughters.

Amazing! This is a really good show with many life lessons. I grew up watching this show. I still watch this show on Nick@nite!

I love you full house

6 The Golden Girls

This is a 70s show, not an 80s show.

The Contenders

11 Alf Alf ALF is an American science fiction sitcom that aired on NBC from September 22, 1986 to March 24, 1990. It was the first television series to be presented in Dolby Surround.

Alf teamed up with Gizmo The Mogwai to fight against The Gremlins from Gremlins and Gremlins 2 The New Batch in The Great Gremlins Adventure ride at Warner Bros World to bad they took it down though it was pretty awesome to see my favorite alien character go face to face with Gremlins.

This should go first. ALF is one of my favorite shows right now. I have been watching it for 2 years already now and it's still good but I don't like it for one reason: it's always set on 167 hendale or the house. but still a good show.

ALF is one of my favroite sitcoms of all time. Too bad it went downhill in season 4 that's why they cancelled it but Season 1, 2, even 3 are good some season 4 ones too.

Why isn't this number 1

Cool cars, Guns, Lame clothes, Hot chicks, Phil Collins.. You can't go wrong. Yea I know, the movie sucked. - michaelhughes

15 Designing Women

All I can say is this is Designing Women, and I'm proud of these crazy people. Julia Sugarbaker still being the most outspoken and liberal woman in our hearts and Suzanne with her big hair, always thinking she's is the most glamorous woman in the world, Designing Women forever!
