@trev33 saidUsed to watch Seinfeld some time ago and really enjoyed. I think it disappeared rather than we stopped watching it. Maybe it wasn't generally popular over here.
Actually Friends has gone the opposite way for me, used to love it but now can't watch it, remember at the tine Seinfeld which never really hit off in the UK was the main rival to Friends in the states, I certainly watched more Friends but also liked Seinfeld. While in Colombia they started to show reruns of Seinfeld and watching it again it was still great so I'd put it in th ...[text shortened]... and not Friends. Think that's the key, you liked it at first but can you watch it again years later?
I think it makes a difference if you watch something with somebody who is enjoying it. Don't think I would otherwise watch friends reruns.
Loved the Big Bang Theory, but like a lot of things left the final series before it left me. Did the same with Frasier. Long running things can run out of steam although Cheers never did for me.
Surprised nobody reruns Carla Lane's sitcoms. Butterflies was excellent. I think she was an excellent observer of people.
@relentless-red saidButterflies was great to watch, with a quality cast.

@earl-of-trumps saidPhil Silvers (Sgt. Bilko) -- ouch, that really dates us.
M*A*S*H
Cheers
The Honeymooners
The Jackie Gleason Show
The Phil Silvers Show (too old for many)
On that note, Lucille Ball was one of the finest comediennes and quite a pioneer in tv (I Love Lucy was the first show shot on 35mm film in front of live audience, I believe).

LOL I remember it like it was yesterday. great show. Remember Doberman, the short fat guy? A panic.
I'm surprised no one else mentioned MASH. The last episode was the largest ever tv audience for a long long time.
I had a chess bud from another site come and visit me for a while. he demanded I take him to the Cheers bar.
He loaded up on t-shirts and stuff. And actually, the Cheers bar went right back to their original name, The Bull and Finch.
What a lucky score for that owner. He must have made a freekin fortune, and still is.
Dad's Army (head and shoulders)
The office
The IT Crowd
Yes Minister
Fawlty Towers
I think....We have the Dad's Army box - set and watched some quite recently, it's just as good second time around. The Office is almost too painful to watch, but you have to watch it. Apart from a couple of episodes of The IT Crowd I've not watched any sit - coms for years, (living in Indonesia and all) and I'm not familiar with the more recent ones.
@mghrn55 saidYup Seinfeld, probably not the only one I left out there have been some good ones over the years, and that show was literally about nothing!
Surprised Seinfeld didn't get more mention.
Larry David (Curb your Enthusiasm) was co-creator with Seinfeld. But in my mind, he was the genius behind the show.
How many of you remember " The Contest" ?
Larry David (curb your Enthusiasm) was a good one too, but not for everyone's taste as he could be quite rude. I enjoyed his episodes.
I don't recall 'The Contest' or even know if we got it on our T.V. stations.
