Before streaming, before prestige TV, before anyone “binged” anything… there were the sitcoms that built the blueprint.
This week on The Diss List, we’re rewinding the TV dial and ranking the Best Pre-1980’s Sitcoms with special guest Brett White from Pop Heist. From laugh tracks to live studio audiences, from perfect families to the quirkiest neighbors, these shows didn’t just entertain—they defined eras.
✨ Expect:
- Iconic catchphrases that still get quoted today
- Theme songs burned into your brain forever
- A few deep cuts you forgot existed (but now desperately want to rewatch)
Pull up a couch, adjust the rabbit ears, and get ready to time-travel back to TV’s funniest foundation.
