Is this the MT. Rushmore of black sitcoms?

The politically chosen Mt. Rushmore (NOT MY PERSONAL FAVORITES but the correct answers)


Cosby Show (Not my personal fav but it had way too big an impact to write off. Biggest sitcom of the 80s next to Cheers)

Jefferson's (Longest running black sitcom of all time, George Jefferson was Uncle Phil, Geoffrey and Will rolled into one character, not mention GJ was the epitome of black success before the 80s and hiphop rolled in)

Good Times (It was corny at times, hated Florida, JJ's c00nery but too many memorable lines "DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!" is over 40 years old yet everyone knows were it came from. I liked Sanford and Son better, thought it was more realistic and funnier but less memorable moments and quotes.)

Fresh Prince of Bel Air (I think it was the best black sitcom of the 90's. It had the same humor and tone a lot of 70's shows had and it didn't get overloaded with corniness like some of Martin's episodes)

Prerty much my exact sentiments.

Sorry, but after the first 2 seasons, Blackish gotta be in that convo.

Legitimately one of the funniest shows EVER.

How come they're all so light-skinned?

The top 4 (Cosby, Fresh Prince, Martin, and Good Times) are pretty much cemented.

Honorable Mention is what we SHOULD be debating and to me it goes too

Living Single
Different World
Bernie Mac
Hanging With Mr Cooper
Family Matters



On the Bubble

Jamie Foxx
My Wife And Kids
Jeffersons
Wayans Brothers
Amen


Also I'd throw the Boondocks in there IF we're not strictly talking live action. I'd give Black-ish two more seasons of solid episodes before I tossed them in the hat
