Ageless and Funny Sitcoms

Murphy Brown (1988-1998): A modern-day Mary Richards (if Mary had done a stint at the Betty Ford clinic and been an unmarried mom), Murphy (Candice Bergen) was a tough TV reporter who loved, but was annoyed by, her colleagues ... not to mention Dan Quayle, who infamously railed against Murphy's single-mom status.

The Brady Bunch (1969-1974): Are the Bradys the dorkiest or the grooviest family to reside in primetime? We'll go with the latter, as there's no denying the endearing cheesiness and pop culture impact of the blended brood, who rocked the largest wardrobe of bell bottoms ever amassed.

Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000-present): Only Larry David could turn a happily married, wildly successful TV writer into a hapless loser. The 'Seinfeld' co-creator (who inspired neurotic George Costanza) spins awkward social situations into sometimes painful-to-watch comedy gold.

Frasier (1993-2004): Cliff and Norm seemed more obvious choices for 'Cheers' spin-offs, but it was Kelsey Grammer's uptight shrink who got his own sharply written sitcom. The Crane fellas made for one competitive yet loving family, which helped the show become the most Emmy-winning series (with 37) in history.

The Office (2005-present): Some argue the original series is better, but for our Schrute Bucks, it's the Dunder Mifflin gang that most hilariously captures the monotony of 'Office' life. Michael Scott over David Brent? Yep. Dwight over Gareth? Indeed. And not since Sam ... Diane have we been treated to a sitcom couple as hot as Jim ... Pam.

Friends (1994-2004): The fact that Monica and Rachel lived in a swanky New York apartment they could never have afforded in the real world didn't diminish how much we loved the 'Friends'-ship of the Central Perk gang, the Ross-Rachel romance and our favorite TV wiseacre, Chandler Bing.

M*A*S*H (1972-1983): From Hawkeye's womanizing to Klinger's obsession with getting a Section Eight, a constant barrage of wisecracks and juvenile pranks was just what the doctor ordered for these Korean War army surgeons, whose gallows humor was the only way they, and viewers, could deal with the traumas of war.

The Simpsons (1989-present): The longest-running comedy on TV holds that record for a reason -- it is, quite simply, the best sitcom in history. The animated classic has spent 19 seasons mocking and celebrating pop culture, and giving us TV's most beloved family and most delightfully ornery 10-year-old, Bartholomew J. Simpson. - 29772
