Its tough to choose between "Fresh Prince" and Seinfeld. Everybody knows on these boards who do I like "Its A Different World". I liked Friends too in the first few years it was on. Also liked "Home Improvement". Probably would be a 3 way choice between "Fresh Prince" "Home Improvement" and "Seinfeld".

I voted for The Fresh Prince.  The jokes were so obvious, yet they were delivered so well.  By the time it went off the air, I stopped watching sitcoms.

If I had read the poll more carefully, I would have voted for The Simpsons.

Home Improvement
That '70's Show
Wings

and not listed...
Spin City
Coach
Dear John


I like Fraiser, but stopped watching a few years ago. Every now and then a really clever episode would pop-up, but for the most part I always thought it was a "lazy" sitcom. They writers always took the easy way out for every situation. Too much fantasy in a sitcom is a bad thing with me. I feel the same way about Friends.

Subject: Re: Best Sitcom of the '90's

Written By: wagonman76 on 07/24/04 at 9:03 pm

Roseanne was one of my faves, but I myself consider that an 80s show.  Another good mention was Coach, I used to love that show.

I really dont like Seinfeld, or Friends, or anything like that.

With Simpsons in here, I should mention Beavis and Butthead too.  That show was one of my favorite animated shows.  Now South Park I hate with a passion, it just seems way too adultish vulgar.  B&B were more of a vulgarness of a frustrated kid.

Not many to choose from for me, as several of those weren't shown in the UK.

I've gone for The Simpsons, but Friends and Frasier are right behind it.

Roseanne started funny but deteriorated the longer it went on. Ellen was never as funny after the episode where she came out - too analytical and not enough humour. The series leading up to her coming out, where there were lots of hints dropped, was hilarious.

Loved ELLEN.  One of my favourite episodes was the one where she competed on American Gladiators.  She ended up falling for NITRO, and when she found out he really wanted ICE, she got disqualified when her jealous rage caused her to beat up ICE with the Joust stick after the match was over LOL

Tough choice between Seinfeld and The Simpsons. For me, both shows started a little rough, quickly attained greatness for a few years, then became self-indulgent messes in later years. But the great years and episodes continue to shine when they're screened, and that makes me still love them.

The Simpsons just has some absolutely brilliant, unforgettable episodes, so it makes my top show of the '90s.
