It is so tough to say. I love Game Of Thrones and consider it one of the best shows I ever watched, but I can't call it my favorite. That would be the show I watched in reruns year after year and never tired of.

The Honeymooners

Star Trek

The Odd Couple

The Brady Bunch

Batman

Thank you to WPIX for introducing me to almost all those shows.

Four other sitcoms I forgot to mention (or more accurately for two of them, debated mentioning):

All in the Family--when it was brilliant, nothing else in TV history could even touch it.

Bewitched

The Andy Griffith Show

The Nanny

The second I debated on because, well, after watching the first few seasons on DVD (after having watched the show on Nick at Nite for years as a kid), I'll be honest: when they had weak episodes, they had VERY weak episodes, much more than I expected them to have, and this doesn't even go into the Dick Sargent years, when they got to the point by their last season where they were often recycling their own older episodes (the Christmas episode "Sisters at Heart" being a VERY noteworthy exception). Still, when they had good episodes, they had REALLY good episodes, and it's a show I remember from my childhood fondly.

As for the third: My mom knows the episodes of this show far better than I do, having watched it in her childhood, and then again during mine on TBS and WGN. However, it's been with me long enough--I'm pretty certain it's the first TV show I EVER remember watching--that I think I should include it. The color years were far weaker, overall, but even that era had some good episodes. I still enjoy watching this show to this day.

And honestly, I should probably include Punky Brewster, too. Oh, stop it. You know you love it, too. laugh.png

    • I've been pondering how strange it is that in real life NLG was being more supportive of Haley Pullos than I would have been ....  and now Alexis is doing that for Kristina.
    • Natalia worrying about her dress getting dirty during her DUI arrest had to be a reference to Haley Pullos and the $400 shirt.   The birth scene was really good. It could have been OTT but wasn't. There was this great moment was Michael was talking about how he's seen every sonogram and been with her all the way where it registered with Willow that he's been extremely involved with this and she had no idea but then couldn't say anything because she's obviously cheating too. And then they acknowledged each other and he actually thanked her. It was very humanizing for both characters.
    • This show treats Claire like a glorified extra prop not the granddaughter of the 2 biggest supercouples this show has ever had. I don't think was ever invested in Claire nor writing for her & her connections to majority of the town. What a waste of a legacy character with so much potential 
    • Kim Zimmer could have had a nice career as a supporting actress in Hollywood, but that does not appear to be what she wanted. That's fine, but in the eighties, she was not going to have many options as a leading actress. The eighties were brutal for a performer like her.  Her one big film role lasted a minute or two. Even while she was on GL, she should have been doing episodic television. Was her agent that incompetent or was she just bad at auditioning? Her episode of "Designing Women" was quite popular and was discussed at the time for its subject matter, but she never followed up on it. It's bizarre to me. 
    • Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice!  My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.
    • Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.
    • It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
