What Current Sitcoms are LEGENDARY?

1.The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
2.The Cosby Show
3.Full House
4.Family Matters
5.Friends
This is my list of the top 5 legendary sitcoms in the last 20 years.


I do not know what makes these shows legendary. All I know is that each show has something different to bring to the table and the society felt in love with it. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is my number one favorite TV Show of all times. I love the theme and the characters including: Philip, Carlton and Geofftrey. Even though they stopped filming the sitcoms in 1996 (14 years ago)... the show never gets old. I believe that successful TV shows have to have a refreshing effect on the viewers.  A production company and the casts knows that they are doing their job right when people can watch a sitcom 4...5..10 times and will never get tired if it!


Unfortunately, the shows that are airing today are not as memorable as my top 5 list. Personally, I think that the shows that are being produced today are weak and quite weird. The society is has different views of TV shows and each show has a different audiences.
Will there be a show that will draw a crowd of majorities? Or will TV shows continue to attract small group of viewers?
The key to having an iconic sitcom is finding a theme/ plot that will attract both children and adults. On my top 5 list, 4 of the TV shows are family oriented. It makes a difference when you are able to speak to many different age groups at the same time. Compared to our current time where there are shows that are strictly geared towards children or strictly geared towards adults.


We need to work hard and create new legendary shows for the years to come....
