I love Lucy has finally aged out but it probably had the longest run.
Honerable mention to seinfied, although it is a very unsitcom like sitcom.
The real answer is the simpsons season 1-9. Still funny if you show it to someone for the first time born in 2005

I don't think anyone, even normies, thinks Friends is "funny." People just enjoy the escapism. Feeling for a half hour like you're part of a group of young, attractive, clean, well-dressed people in well-appointed settings.

Scrubs is still good. Or does it need a laughtrack to count as a sitcom?

nta but I always thought that the 2nd and 3rd season writing on BBT was a lot of bits that would have worked just as well on I Love Lucy. viz. Sheldon teaches Penny physics, classic sitcom writing unlike the friends of comment/insult/rejoinder working the rule of three like a body bag

First 1-4 seasons of the office are great. When the show begins focusing on relationship drama it loses its edge by trying to become something soppy and melodramatic. I do also enjoy the first few seasons for the early 00s nostalgia aspects. I love the scene of Jim and Pam listening to his iPod when they leave at night. Max comfy. Had a similar experience with a highschool crush when I was like 13.

I treat it like TPB.
Once it goes 16:9, something fundamental changes. I usually chalk it up to a larger budget and lack of soul. More producers having a say in what happens

I thought it was a modern classic and would be highly regarded for a few generations, but they destroyed all of their good will. At least they didn't implode as bad as Rick and Morty

I didn't hate it, I understand that many people love it. The show just does not tickle my funny bone. Never even said anything about seasons, I don't think I even finished the first season.

>I don't think I even finished the first season
lol and there it is
the show changes completely when Danny Devito joins the cast in S2, the first season isn't really exemplary of the show at all.
I know people get tired of hearing "bro it gets good in episode 300, just wait" but seriously a lot of shows, and especially sitcoms don't have a great first season. just look at Seinfeld's or the Office's first season, they practically become different shows in season 2, it's the same with IASIP. I'm not gonna force you to watch another season if you don't want to, but you've hardly seen enough to make a real judgement.
>>

Fuck that kike shit

Community had some great stand-out episodes. Most of it was middling.

Seinfeld should age the best. It's mean-spirited and all the characters are miserable and real. That's what people now want to see.
>>
>>206058706
Wow, guess Jim Parsons is one of the based fags
>>
>>206058639
Cheers
Frasier
Seinfeld
Taxi
Married with Children
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Fawlty Towers
The Jeffersons
Golden Girls
Roseanne
The Andy Griffith Show
I Love Lucy
The Honeymooners

Technically, shows like MASH, The Simpsons and Everybody Hates Chris would also fall under the genre of sitcom, but I'm assuming you're talking about shows with canned laughter/shot in front of a studio audience.
