Speaker 1 (00:06):
We've got a problem with this top ten list. I
tell you one O six twenty seven landfmcubby. We got
Nina in for Christine Today producer Christen. And there's a website.
It's called the top tens dot com, the top tens
dot com, and they have listed the top ten best
sitcoms of all time, and we're gonna name them off.
(00:26):
And when you hear these shows, I want you to
see if anything is missing, not just a show itself,
but I feel like there's a genre missing for sure.
But number ten is Modern Family. Number nine is Family Guy.
Number eight is Cheers. Number seven, The Fresh Prince of
bel Air, number six, The Office number five, How I
Met Your Mother Number four, The Big Bang, Theory number three,
(00:49):
The Simpsons number two, Friends number one, Seinfeld.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's very very nineties ish, is it not.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
That's the first thing that's stuck in my mind when
I read this. Eighties and nineties, well mainly nineties. You're right,
because Cheers is eighties. Cheers is good, but everything else
Simpsons is kind of like the end of the eighties.
But I gotta tell you it's a lot of nineties
and early two thousand. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Theory is two thousands, Family Guy, Modern Family.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, you could totally tell a millennial wrote this.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, absolutely, with aner.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, because if I did this list, yeah, I would
have a Seinfeld in there, or or an Office in there,
but I would almost to have I love Lucy, you have,
Dick Van Dyke, Dick Van Dyke, Brady Bunch, Gillian's on the Three,
Jefferson's Don't Get Me Going, One Day at a Time,
Sanford so good Times, What's Happening?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Barney Miller, Barney Miller.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
That'd be my list, right, But don't you agree that's
that's missing.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, it's kind of disappointing, not disappointing. It's just very
constrained to a specific time.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
But out of the ones in the top ten, which
one would you make number one? Would you make Seinfeld
number one? Nina?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I think you're happy with that number one. I think
I think I like Cheers.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
They're number eight eight. Now, Kristin and I agree that
The Office should be number.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
One, the American Office, Yes, the American version. OK, I
didn't watch it that much. Sorry, so good, so good.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
It grew on me. I remember not liking it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, it's very different from the other one.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
But yeah, it does take a while. Season one's a
little a little slower, more dry. It's definitely dry, and
it gets a lot better. Somebody texted in said, everybody
loves Raymond and the Middle great shows and they're not
in the top ten.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
The Good Place is a great show.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The Good Place.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You ever see The Good Place with Ted Danson and
they're in they're kind of it like in purgatory.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
No, it's good.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
When we had the pilot's amazing. It was only probably
ended like four years ago. As my guess, it's pretty new.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
All right. We give us a text the best sitcom
of all time in your opinion at four four three
six three. Maybe you agree with this list, Who knows?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Maybe you on mash.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Maybe it wears a mash.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
There's a mash.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Before we get back to the TV shows. Earlier in
the show, I said, hey, shout out, let us know
what you're up to. A lot of people out and
about and Eco Bay Farms text it in. Hit them
up at Ecobayfarms dot com. A GVC school bus company
in the Bronx driving special needs children. Thank you for listening,
and a text here. I want to give a shout
(03:17):
out to my wonderful husband who is the text went away.
I hate when they refresh Bill Marx and his company
armor overhead door serving all of New Jersey garage doors.
Remember I said, hey, if you want to call in,
shout somebody out and then plug them. Yeah, we'll plug
your business. So there you go. And a lot of
people are texting in about the best TV sitcoms of
all time, And we noticed that on the list. It
(03:39):
was a great list, but a lot of things were missing. Yes,
number ten, Modern Family number nine, Family Guy number eight,
Years number seven, The Fresh Prince of bel Air number six,
The Office, How I Met Your Mother Number five, The
Big Bang Theory number four, The Simpsons number three, Friends
number two, Seinfeld number one. Somebody texted in and brought
up a great point. A cartoon should not be on the.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
List, agreed, And it's not a sitcom. It's not a
situation comedy.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
But it's epic. The Simpsons, it's it is, but it's iconic.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
It's not what this is this list and.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
A lot of things I believe from the seventies and
eighties were missing, like all of their Family Mash. We
brought up.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Mash even before that, like Dick Van Dyke Show and
Mary Tyler Moore Show. Mary Tyler Moore was not comedy,
but Dick van Dyke was right.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And Kristen brought up a good point. Who do you
think made the list? Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Definitely a'm millennialium for sure, she says, Nita.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
If we had done this list, we'd have Three's Company
on there, and.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Sanford and Son and all those things exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But again, another thing about these lists is they're very subjective. Yeah,
you're never going to make everybody happy when you bring
out a list like this.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
They just make the list so you can debate about it. Also, right,
I don't think the idea is for you to go, well,
that's great and move on. The idea is for you
to like pitch in your own brain and.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Write, Yeah, no one's ever going to say that's the
best top ten list ever. Don't change a I'll take
that right, Right, It's always fun to talk about, like
