RE: Your favorite sitcoms no particular order.

I feel like when you watch and even enjoy a couple of sitcoms that you lose interest over time because they are pretty much the same. So I mostly watched sitcoms in the 90s like Friends, Seinfeld, Perfect Strangers, Who's The Boss, Alf, Mash, Murphy Brown, Cheers, and whatever was available. That's why I almost didn't watch any of the sitcoms of the 2000s and later, except for TBBT, and few episodes of 2 And a Half Men. I could never watch How I Met Your Mother because it seemed boring and a shameless Friends clone.
The same goes for police and doctors shows. Like, I remember watching ER and Chicago Hope, and that was all I could watch of doctors shows. I couldn't make myself interested in Scrubs or Gray's Anatomy.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I haven't watched much network TV in quite a few years so most of mine are older shows. And most of those shows aren't something I'd watch again...they were good at the time but probably not so much now. The only one I never tire of is M*A*S*H.

I am such a true crime junkie and have a degree in Criminal Justice so most cop shows just piss me off. The only medical show I ever liked was House.

Free supply of pocket lint for anyone who can name the prior tenant in the sitcom "Too Close For Comfort" plot implied daughters who eventually rented the ground floor of their parents.
Pro tip, "Monroe" was not the original tenant.
