    I'm think Laura and Disorder or Upwardly Mobile. toughy.

    (Leave it to Mrs O'Brien is disqualified on the grounds that it isnt a comedy, not matter what anyone says)

    Everybody Loves Raymond. Seriously, it makes Two and a Half Men look like an intellectual masterpiece.

    George. The sitcom starring renowned boxer and lean griller George Foreman. Terrible

    Cavemen. If you've never seen it, lucky you!

    Dishonorable mention to Joey as well.

    The title alone already makes it funnier than 75% of all tv sitcoms.

    I don't get it at all actually, I dont understand why everyone loves it. Can't stand Tina Fey's or Alec Bladwin's character.

    You're clearly not watching it right, try turning it off and on again.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I just had a quick think about the shows I used watch in the 80's and early 90's and rediscovered some gems!

    1. Full House.
    2. The Nanny.
    3. Hang Time.
    4. The English version of That 70's Show.
    5. Shasta McNasty

    Well okay, maybe the worst sitcom ever was a bit of an exaggeration.

    Anything involving Katherine Lynch would take the biscuit of being the worst sitcom, if you could call her shows sitcoms.

    Man i used to love Larry sanders/Garry Shandling.
    was so fresh at the time.
    Kinda a prototype for stuff like Curb.
    Not sure if "breaking the fourth wall" is exactly the correct term but i loved the way they played around with the real/fictional aspects of celebrities' characters on it.
