FH and GP could be switched. And I really like both, but Cosby was amazing and Family Ties was really really good.

I still go out my way to watch reruns of Family Ties to this day.
Full House was cheesy, but it worked. Perfect Strangers was cheesy too, but kind if a one trick pony. Balky carried it with his odd behavior, but its the odd show out on this list. And Growing Pains was boring as hell. I hated Carol and Mike would never be as cool as Alex P. Keaton. Go to hell Seavers. RIP Boner.

I had to put Cosby in the middle. It's obviously regarded as one of the greats in family sitcoms, but I can't say I've watched more than a handful of episodes. Ill give Cosby this. he can just do his "there's no words for this face" and I'd laugh more than almost any other show on the list.

I agree with that...Cosby Show prolly makes me laugh more than any of those other shows. I just really liked that show. There was a link I saw a couple months ago about the music (and artists) on the Cosby Show. Good shite. And he was just a funny dude. The scene where he and Claire eat strawberry cake is funny as hell to me, and there's not a single word that is spoken. Good example of how a show can just be funny without even trying really.

My kids watch it too, and I couldn't be happier about this fact.

Never saw that before. What was great about that clip is you can write 500 words on why that was such a good scene. Phylicia and Bill nailed the facial expressions to fill a scene with dialogue, but never needed to. The music was perfect too..
