Top 10 Sitcoms Of The 1980s
In this list I included the best sitcoms of the 1980s . please no hate.I took results from critics and TV reviewers and for the comments I choose reviews that highlight the goodness of the show.
Four single friends -- comic Jerry Seinfeld, bungling George Costanza, frustrated working gal Elaine Benes and eccentric neighbor Cosmo Kramer -- deal with the absurdities of everyday life in New York City. Brilliant show! Its perfect if you want to laugh your heart out and don't want any relationship drama. hilarious and weird are two words for all its characters and you can't help but love them for who they are. All the episodes have typical erroneous hilarious endings and best part is that all the episodes are not much inter connected. That made my exam preparation time hell of a joyride. Please don't give up after watching first and second season because from the 3rd season you will not be able to go without watching this one even for a day! Jerry Seinfeld is love <3. And so is Elaine! Do watch it if you like lighthearted comedy.

The Golden Girls is an American sitcom created by Susan Harris that originally aired on NBC from September 14, 1985, to May 9, 1992, with a total of 180 half-hour episodes spanning seven seasons. One of the funniest shows of all time, while also remaining relevant 30 some odd years later. This show may make you cry from laughter or from sadness but will always make you feel good that you've watched the episode.

The show focuses on the Huxtable family, an upper middle-class African-American family living in Brooklyn, New York. Love this show it is full of laughs and also real serious life situations. This old classic film has so many episodes that teah you all of the above and making decisions with comedy throughout and always ending with happiness and joy. I HIGHLY recommend watching this show of a peaceful family that lives through everday life experiencing the real world and everyone learns how to make it out safely!

Roseanne is an American television sitcom starring Roseanne Barr and revolving around the fictional Conner family. Nothing but respect towards Roseanne Barr for voicing her opinion - which is what people in a democratic society are usually entitled to do. Unfortunately, the society is no longer democratic. It's fascistic, and it acts fascistic. Roseanne Barr is NOT A RACIST. What she said was NOT RACIST. It was a funny joke, and I liked it. Mrs Barr is a free woman and she acts and talks like one. God bless her. She is the one to be remembered. Those who fired her will be forgotten the day after they croak.

I was born the year after the show ended, and this show is great. The hair and clothing is outdated, but the dialogue is funny and some of the topics are still relevant even 25 years later.

Married... with Children is an American television live-action sitcom that aired on Fox, created by Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt. Originally broadcast from April 5, 1987 to June 9, 1997, it is the longest-lasting live-action sitcom on Fox, and the first to be broadcast in the network's primetime programming slot. When it comes to a simpler time in television I think of a few shows, Family Matters, The Simpsons and of course Married with Children. Though I was young when the show aired I still remember the Bundies as their humorous antics of spoken family insults, and troublesome situations really brought out what the late 80's and early 90s had to offer. Not to mention many of the special celebrity guest stars that found their ways to sneak onto the show when from time to time, to add to the hilarity

The Wonder Years is an American television comedy-drama created by Neal Marlens and Carol Black. It ran on ABC from 1988 until 1993. The pilot aired on January 31, 1988, following ABC's coverage of Super Bowl XXII. I was 13 when this first aired and I watched it faithfully. I’m so glad it’s on Hulu now! I like how the show didn’t portray a rich family who has EVERYTHING handed to them and never had problems. There was discipline, the nagging sibling and the outspoken sibling, the father who worked and the mother who stayed home (wow how times have changed lol) It’s a must watch.

Not a sitcom all, it created its own category, now sometimes called "Warmedy", or "Dramedy".
My favourite T.V. show ever, though I'd say it's more of a drama and definitely not a sitcom.
