ShadowDog Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I was wondering if Seinfield would get a single vote. It hasn't aged very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen123 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It's aged perfectly fine to me. I don't even think it is just nostalgia for me (though, I am sure that doesn't hurt). It is still one of my go-to shows if I have nothing else particularly going on at a given time and I always enjoy it still regardless of the number of times I've seen the episode. I realized that my list for this poll is basically three different archetypes: medical comedy, office comedy, and comedy about nothing. I think I will try to restrict myself to one of each later on.

Driver Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I was wondering if Seinfield would get a single vote. It hasn't aged very well. It's aged in that it's clearly very 90s when you look at the clothes and the hair, but a lot of the comedy is pretty timeless. And I appreciate the no "very special episode." Roseanne would have made my list had the show not become her soapbox in the last couple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumberSix Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 CommunityThe Simpsons (a shame it was canceled after just ten seasons)Parks & RecreationNight CourtI Love Lucy This is harder-- even the funniest of shows can take a turn for the worse if their run is too long. That's why The Office only ranks an Honorable Mention in my book. Seasons 2-6+ were A-plus, but Steve Carell's exit should've been the series finale.

NumberSix Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 And its early years expanded the styles and rhythms of what was possible in TV comedy. It was a trendsetter, not just a "really good" show. Same line of reasoning is why Community tops the list despite its banal fourth season -- what came before and after was extra-strength and compensated. I'd rank The Office maybe sixth, but I hold very little nostalgia for its final seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The early years of the Simpsons are so great that it makes the rest of the run irrelevant. It's like if a QB had 7 or 8 straight years of 80% completions, 75 TD and 0 INTs and won the SB MVP in all of those years. Even if he played a long time after that at a much lower level, the greatness at his peak would still make him easily the greatest QB of all time.

ShadowDog Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Check out his parenthetical yeah I saw that I was asking why does the Simpsons get a parenthetical but the office doesn't. But he explained that and it makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
