You have to be 100 years old. Only two shows in the last 30 years in your top 30?

That's nonsense.

I stopped at Sanford and Son because I think it's one of the most underrated shows overall and is definitely in my top 20, likely top 10 range.

I'm not shitting on the shows you named, they're all good, but damn, there have been some solid comedies post-1990 mate.

Did 30 rock not make the list ? But a show that lasted 6 episodes did?

I didn't hit up the Rolling Stones link.

But to your point, 30 Rock is another top 10-20 for me. Take anyone's politics aside, Alec Baldwin nailed it as corporate America (which is in itself hilarious knowing him). Tina Fey is awesome for writing the how and being the clumsy female that dates Jon Hamm, James Franco, James Marsden, etc. Let alone Tracy Jordan/Morgan and the rest of the cast.

This is the Saturday lineup in 1973-74.

I'm assuming it only lasted that one season and Strange that so many great shows were on a Saturday nt.

CBS obviously wised up when they realized what they had and moved All in the Family and MASH to more viewer friendly nights.

Could sworn Carol Burnett was on Sunday as well.
