Alf...night court....taxi was my favorite. Though Taxi started in the late 70s and ran through the early 80s. The wonder Years was another one that I liked. That one started in the late 80s and ran into the 90s.

I think the 60s and 70s were the best decades for tv

In order of preference:
The Cosby Show
Roseanne
Kate & Allie
Taxi
Night Court
Family Ties

I used to think "Coach" was one of my favorites, until I had the opportunity last year to rewatch the entire series. Sadly only a few of the first season episodes were funny; the rest were so formulaic, trite or outlandish, I couldn't believe it. I watched all nine seasons worth of episodes, hoping that it would change and be the hilarious sitcom I remembered. Which if you add it up, comes out to some 65+ hours of my life I will never get back. I guess some things should remain just a memory.

Even though it began in 1989, to me "Seinfeld" was just such an iconic 90s show, I can't bring myself to include it here.

I remember Coach as being really funny as well. I forgot about that one. I also think of Seinfield as a 90s sitcom because it ran throughout the 90s. The first season may have been in the 80s.

I also consider Barney Miller to be a 70s sitcom, though I think it did spill over into the early 80's like Taxi. I actually consider Taxi a 70s sitcom but it did run in the 80s as well

So my order would be:

Taxi
Cheers
Alf
Night Court
Wonder Years
Coach

I cant fault any of the ones listed. One of my all time favs NOT listed is "Head of the Class".

I also have a special place in my heart for the short lived "Square Pegs" and "Double Trouble"

In no particular order:

The Cosby Show
The Golden Girls
227
Amen
ALF
Who's The Boss
The Facts of Life
Mama's Family
Night Court
Cheers (thank God today's TV execs weren't around then)

I didn't get into Coach and Roseanne till the 90s and personally even though I'm a Taxi fan (how could you not love Rev., Jim?) I always thought of it as a 70s sitcom. Same with Three's Company

I almost forgot It's a Living. It was part of my saturday nights in the 80s. It's a Living and Mama's Family from 7-8 and then the NBC sitcoms and Hunter to finish the evening

HA! I remember "It's a Living" but I always thought it was cancelled after a few seasons but lived on in syndication. I would have never guessed it survived 120 episodes.
