I recently tried rewatching Seinfeld because my SO likes it a lot, personally I can't stand it (Jerry is annoying, the writing in some episodes is so repetitive they use the word funny a million times, etc.). I am not a fan of all of Tim's shenanigans with Tool Time and blowing things up but I think his scenes with Jill and his kids are great, I like it as a family sitcom a lot. KOQ is definitely a show I can rewatch or put on in the background, it's pretty funny, good interaction among cast etc.

Disney had a few good ones but personally I give the advantage to Nickelodeon being that I enjoy their shows more. My favorites on Nick - Clarissa Explains It All and iCarly.

What are your favorites?

First ones that come to mind for me are -

Malibu CA (teens from NYC move in with their dad who lives in Malibu)

California Dreams

Saved by the Bell (especially the summer episodes where they work at the beach club)

Three's Company despite being set in a beach town doesn't really have that feel because despite great opening credits emphasizing their location, most scenes are filmed indoors.

Since this is Reddit Sitcoms let's stick to naming SITCOMS.

What shows do you think of?

My list -

Family Sitcoms - Leave it to Beaver, Family Ties, Home Improvement

Friend Group Sitcoms - Friends, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother

Workplace Sitcoms - this is my least favorite category however I would rate the following as my favorites in this category - Just Shoot Me, Taxi, Not Suitable for Work (new show on Hulu)

My list- Taxi, Brady Bunch/Step by Step, Silver Spoons, Growing Pains, Head of the Class, Perfect Strangers, Yes Dear.....it would be cool to see newer versions with same premises....this is what I can picture...

Show being about Uber drivers (remake of Taxi).

It's been a while since we have had a remake of blended family such as Brady's or Step By Step.

New show about a rich kid getting acquainted with his father (remake of Silver Spoons).

Family with two working career parents and 3 kids, this time with the mom being the psychiatrist would be my idea of Growing Pains reboot (also this time the girl would be cool and popular and her brother would be smart and nerdy).

There was a brief remake of Head of the Class, for some reason it didn't do well....like to see new writers give it another try.

Perfect Strangers is funny and interesting and I would like to see a remake with new characters/new actors.

And, Year Dear a show about two families in different socioeconomic situations living under one roof raising their kids - some slightly new twist on that.

Is everyone feeling ready for the heat wave coming up? Is it impacting your plans? Do you feel your AC is up to the job? What impact do you think it will have on 4th festivities?

Friends, Will and Grace, Seinfeld, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, and New Girl?

My favorites from each show - Joey, Jack, Jerry, Sheldon, Ted, and Winston.

If you are someone who wants a good deal on good food and don't drink, which bars would you hit up for their happy hour food menu in Center City? (Wednesday Sips excluded - not interested in that crowd).

My list -

Ozzie and Harriet

Leave it to Beaver

Taxi

Three's Company

Diffrent Strokes

My list

1980s -

Family Ties

Diffrent Strokes

Growing Pains

Who's the Boss

My Two Dads and Major Dad tie for 5th place for me

1990s -

Home Improvement

Friends

Full House

Fresh Prince

Boy Meets World and Step by Step tied for 5th

What's your list?

My list -

50s/60s - Ward Cleaver (Leave it to Beaver)

70s - Mike Brady (The Brady Bunch)

80s - Steven Keaton (Family Ties)

90s - Danny Tanner (Full House)

2000s- Greg Warner (Yes, Dear)

2010s - Greg Otto (American Housewife)

Another post talked about more flawed characters, I thought it would be fun to discuss sitcom guys with great personalities who you would want your daughter to date?

My list of suitable sitcom males -

Wally Cleaver

David Nelson

Ricky Straton

Kevin Arnold

Alex P Keaton

Carlton Banks

if a little bit older list would include - Greg Warner, Paul Buchman, and Leonard Hofstader.

I would love the following sitcoms to be added to any of those three platforms -

Head of the Class

Mr. Belvedere

Hogan Family

Yes Dear

Murphy Brown

Brotherly Love

Some shows/episodes can be found on other streaming services or YT but I wish those shows were available on the major platforms in good picture quality /commercial free.

How would you rank these 4 options, which would you be least likely to choose due to location?

Houston and Suffolk

E 14th and Ave B

E 14th and Ave C

Ave C (back of Stuytown complex)

If client has been working with someone for a while and has been a good client (always shows up, always talks, tries to work on things), what would make a therapist mention needing more accountability and there being consequences? What does that look like compared to when a therapist is more laid back and supportive/encouraging in a gentle way? As a therapist have you ever done this to your clients?

My top 5 in order of favorite -

Cory and Topanga (Boy Meets World)

Alex and Ellen (Family Ties) I also liked him with Lauren (played by Courtney Cox)

Kevin and Winnie (The Wonder Years)

Steve and DJ (Full House)

Zach and Kelly (Saved by the Bell)

Which sitcom kids had the best relationships with their parents -

Seaver kids on Growing Pains or Keaton Kids on Family Ties? Stephen and Elyse Keaton are my all time favorite sitcom parents. When I think of other 80s family sitcoms I think of Growing Pains next. What about you?

Who are the wealthiest families among your favorite SITCOMS?

Mine are - Diffrent Strokes, Silver Spoons, and Fresh Prince.

Followed by - Who's The Boss (not as wealthy as ones mentioned above but Jonathan still grew up pretty well off).

I know a lot of people are going to bring up Modern Family and that fits but it's not personally a show I watch.

I love the beginning of this episode - so nostalgic to rewatch with the girls and Joey watching Tiffany perform her classic song I Think We Are Alone Now. I don't like the overall message of the episode though, Joey is in charge and DJ goes out for pizza after karate class without calling home and in the end instead of being grounded that weekend they post pone it so she doesn't miss the karate meet. Not much of teaching a lesson. At the very least she should have been grounded every day for two weeks starting the very next day minus going to the tournament straight there and back that particular day but overall, they (Joey and later Danny) were too easy on her. Opinions? Most kids in the 80s wouldn't have gotten away with so much disrespect.

So many good ones....my favorites -

Season 1 - The One with East German Laundry Detergent

Season 2 - The One with Five Steaks and an Eggplant

Season 3 - The One with Football

Season 4 - The One where they are going to party

Season 5 - The One where Ross Moves in, The One with all the Thanksgivings, and The One with Ross's Sandwich

Season 6 - The One with Joey's Porche, The One with Ross's Teeth, The One with the Apothecary Table, and The One with Rachel's Sister (season 6 had a lot of my favorite episodes)

Season 7 - The One with Rachel's Assistant and The One Where They All Turn 30

Season 8 - The One where Joey Dates Rachel

Season 9 - The One with the Male Nanny, The One with Rachel's Other Sister, The One with Ross's Inappropriate Song and The One with Rachel's Phone Number (season 9 also had some great episodes IMO)

Season 10 - my least favorite season, favorite episode would be The One with Ross's Tan

What are your favorites? Favorite season overall??
