The best Situation Comedies reflect the times and make us think about circumstances and experiences beyond our reality.  A rating of the top 100 SCs in Rolling Stone covered a lot of territory.  TV fans check it out.

 

 

The top 5 in descending order are:

All in the Family, I Love Lucy, Seinfeld,

Cheers, and the winner-The Simpsons.

 

 

The idea the shows could lead us to feel emotions beyond just the laughs is what makes these 5 the Best of the Best.

 

 

I was never a big Cheers fan but see it’s magic for many. I appreciate the cleverness and the bite of the Simpsons, but was not a big watcher.

 

For me, All in the Family was truly a classic. It confronted the issues of race, religion, and politics with a warm family glow. I Love Lucy brought ridiculousness to a lovely conjugal level. But, the show that I can watch over and over is Seinfeld.

The eccentric characters and the magical weaving of the stories always makes me laugh.
