remember family sitcoms?

[lucyinthesky]

and how they were actually "funny" for the time?

ie- Full House, Growing Pains, Perfect Strangers, Charles in Charge.......you know them all......

[Duck]

I don't think they were funny at the time, I think they were funny for the age, ask someone that's like 30 or 40 if they were funny

[TheLizardQueen]

Full house was so corny it was painful to watch.

[prismatism]

i love full house! love, with no d at the end. i've seen almost every episode. i could watch that show for a week straight, no kidding, with my eyes pried open master shake style so i couldn't sleep. and i'd have a great, wholesome, hug-filled time.

[ilario]

full house was one of my favorites! i used to watch it with my old friend jerry.

[themnax]

i certainly remember how repulsively pseudo moral and totaly unfunny they (nearly all) were. if the're actualy gone i would count that as one major blessing.

[sandman]

I don't know if you would call Sanford and Son a family sitcom of the retro ages but I thought that show was funny anyhow, and this thread made me think of it:)

I taped porn over a tape that had full house and family tiesporn is even more boring than green acres or mister ed, I guess it depends on what your real life experiences have been.

[HonorSeed]

MASH is funny, I watched an episode last night.

[Duck]

porn is even more boring than green acres or mister ed, I guess it depends on what your real life experiences have been.also depends on the person
for me, I enjoy porn if the stars seem to really be enjoying it, or are just good at faking :p
and if there is a guy and he's making all kindsa groaning noises that ruins it
and if they go more sensual than just straight out fuck, that's nice too

[trapjaw]

I don't know if the Wonder Years counts as a "family" sitcom (it didn't have a lame moral lesson at the end of every episode, and didn't end every time in a big group hug), but that was a really cool sitcom. Ended every episode with a kind of "growing older wisdom" snippet, kinda..

[LuckyStripe]

The Cosbies!

[HonorSeed]

Rowan and Martins Laugh IN........verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interrrrrrrrrresting.

[Charise]

The Addams Family!

[themnax]

cherice and honor seed, yes those were excilent. i din't really think of them in this catigory. but yes now those WERE good. and before rowan and martin, the smothers brothers had a show for a little while. of course the networks pulled them because, lets face it, they were a bit TOO honest for television. so they gave us rowan and martin, who were ok, but really tamer pets of the mainstream, all the pretty colors aside.

adams family i think came a little later, and of course the other networks, one of them, if one had the adams family then the other just HAD to have the munsters.

[kristina777]

The Addams Family was definitly a good show. I also used to watch Full House, Step By Step... they just don't make 'em like that anymore!

[Bocks]

I'm not sure what the criteria for these sitcoms are, but THIRD ROCK FROM THE SUN was notably hilarious!

[HonorSeed]

was just thinking last week about Get Smart with agent 99, then theree was Bewitched, F Troop, Mister Ed, My Favorite Martian......I liked them all....

[Alternative_Thinker]

I quite like those sitcoms. I'm still(re-runs = good idea) a big fan of Full House, Family Matters, Blossom, though, I personally didn't really get into Rosanne. Rosanne DID have funny moments, but I just didn't really watch it often. The same is said about Married With Children, too. I also like Family Ties, Growing Pains, and Home Improvement, though, again, I haven't watched a lot of their episodes......so far.

[fairydustdreams65]

I remember watching them all the time .I always wished my family was like that because I wanted to live in a "normal " home.:(

[maryjanegirl_2005]

Full House was my favorite.

anyone remember All In The Family , it was the start of family sitcom for me, more spin-off then I can remeber,like the jeffersons& the good times, what is real sad is what we have how .

[texasmade3]

I remember watching fullhouse as a kid, i was a year older than the olsen twins and i remember always watching it since i was like 5 and it was good while growing up I actually got into it but now if an apisode comes on these days i just laugh at it because its so corny. We used to tape every episode on vhs and still have them i think. I'm sure are recorded over with football games and movies.

[themnax]

the main thing i remember about what the phrase conjures in my mind, is they're the main reason i don't watch the damd thing now. that and it's unstated but all permiating bias against anything that might actualy work and be universaly gratifying as well as environmentaly harmonious as a way of life.

[Freekowtski]

Punky Brewster, Family Matters, Saved By The Bell, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (especially this one) were my favourite ones.

[themnax]

sitcoms go all the way back to the earliest days of RADIO. long before even i was born. before there even was such a thing as television. very very rairly were they ever even remotely funny. family or otherwise. a couple of good things have been mentioned.

but sitcoms and westerns are what the airwaves that could have been put to far more creative use were filled with instead, so that sponsers could sell their post toasties, and to hell with creative expression and broadcast media's potential for it.

i'd have traded even the best of them, for silent unedited travilogs, that actually explored the rest of the world the way i can now on the net. have been doing since the earliest days of my having access to it. dispite political isularity's all but vissible opposition to our doing so.

no. sorry. television has always been an extremely bitter disapointment to me. and having sitcoms and the rest of entertainment with a capitol e shoved down our throats instead of actually being able to see anything interesting on it is what made it so. and for the most part pretty much continues to.
