Hard to select just two more. Cheers, Taxi, I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, The Office are all up there for me. Probably Cheers and The Office because they're contemporary for me, and the appreciation of something that you weren't around for is a little different.

I can already tell how many of you guys were breast fed up until your teens...

strong

The Honeymooners

2-1/2 Men

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Seinfeld


Fawlty Towers (foreign)

is:

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Seinfeld
Parks and Rec

First three are solid

4th one I could have added any of:
Parks and Rec
Simpsons (if they stopped after 13 or 14 seasons)
Family Guy
Friends
King of Queens
Everybody Loves Raymond
Veep

and with another couple seasons Brooklyn Nine-Nine, so I don't feel strongly on the 4th one, but Mt. Rushmore has 4 faces so I had to add a 4th

All in the Family
Mary Tyler Moore
Taxi
Seinfeld

Regardless, I will go with:

Cheers
30 Rock
Parks and Rec
Larry Sanders

is a new addition to my list

Simpsons gets extra points for being groundbreaking but I still give the nod to South Park when it comes to animated series.

To the Manor Born
Yes Prime Minister
All In the Family
WKRP

I forgot about Cheers! Do I get to add a fifth face to my Mount Rushmore? Cheers belongs, but I can't decide on who to leave out. It was already tough enough precluding The Odd Couple.

Not get mentioned once?

I always enjoyed Rules of Engagement.

But I'll try to go off the wall a little bit and pick some others

Frasier
Sanford and Son
Soap
The Larry Sanders Show

I would add "Arrested Development" as another off the beaten path that deserves some love.

because not everyone who reads this site is 100 years old.

Not a sitcom but the Carol Burnet Show had some of funniest skits ever..

The office and Sienfeld stand out
But
Cheers, Friends, taxi, barney miller were great.

Big Bang Theory
Cheers
All in the Family

Too bad Mt. Rushmore does not have at least 10. So many great ones in my lifetime

It does deserve an honorable mention, but that's all. On the other hand, it featured one of my absolute favorite sitcom episodes of all time...
Dick Van Dyke Season 5 Episode 1: Coast to Coast Big Mouth - ( New Window )
