After Dumont and before Fox there were 3 networks. Easier to be in Top 20 when there are about 28 (or whatever amount) less shows with many of them being comedies.
Yes and I always thought it was better than I Love Lucy.
You may think it was a better show but the fact is I Love Lucy was much more successful. This is not a list of favorite Shows or Best Show or Greatest Shows fo all time as I explained in my original post.
In business success means revenue. That requires longevity in Prime Time and in syndication. DVD sales would have to be a factor too.
No DVD Sales would not factor in at all. We are not talking about business here.
Some of you people on here do not understand the point of the List and some are complaining because they realize their favorite show was not a Numer 1 Hit or even that it was never in The Top 30.
The fact is Leave it To Beaver, Married... with Children, Gilligans Island, Brady Bunch, Get Smart, etc,. and some other shows mentioned (while they may be classics now) were not highly rated during their run. I sorry I can't help it. There nothing we any of us can do about it.

I am aware of that and never saw the appeal of I Love Lucy.
Get smart is not a Sitcom. It has never been considered one.
Apparently not everyone agrees with you.
Get Smart is an American comedy television series that satirizes the secret agent genre. It was created by Mel Brooks with Buck Henry and had its television premiere on September 18, 1965. The show stars Don Adams as Maxwell Smart, Agent 86, Barbara Feldon as Agent 99, and Edward Platt as Thaddeus, the Chief. Henry said that they created the show at the request of Daniel Melnick[1] to capitalize on "the two biggest things in the entertainment world today": James Bond and Inspector Clouseau.[2] Brooks said: "It's an insane combination of James Bond and Mel Brooks comedy." [Bolding mine]
It would be inaccurate to call Get Smart TV’s first cult comedy, because there are numerous series fitting that description that precede it or aired simultaneously to it. But look a little more closely at the run of Mel Brooks and Buck Henry’s daffy spy spoof, and the series starts to look slightly more like any one of a number of low-rated, critically beloved series that have struggled their way to 100 episodes over the medium’s history.
