It was mostly 90s, but so was the Wonder Years (included here); and the Wonder Years wasn't even a "sitcom", there was no live studio audience participation and it wasn't a show based on joke after joke, and/or a stream of intentionally funny situations. I liked the Wonder Years, but I thought of that show as more of a drama, than a sitcom per se. I would definitely have included MWC here (which at least WAS a sitcom), rather than Wonder Years, if you're going to include shows that stretched well into the 90s.

The Cosby Show should be number 1...It was the #1 rated show for 5 straight years, tying All in the Family. It rejuvenated sit-coms and NBC. It created must-see Thursdays. Married With Children & Roseanne were created to be the anti-Cosby Show, while other family shows tried to copy it. I liked Cheers, but it never had the kind of impact that Cosby had then or now. This generation needs a show like the Cosby Show, in the worst way.

You're entitled to your opinion and I'm sure many agree with you, however, comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges: British sitcoms have a lower production turnout which allows writers to fine tune their scripts whereas American sitcoms typically produce 22-26 episodes per season therefore the quality can wane. That being said, it's astounding the consistency of the writing on many of the classic American shows. One of the perks to more episodes is allowing for more story arcs and character growth. As someone who grew up in the late 80s and early 90s, Friday nights spent watching ABC's TGIF lineup with my family are some of my favorite childhood memories.

I doubt people would forget this show. Hell, it even has one of the most famous TV relationships (Sam and Diane).
