"Frank's Place" with Tim Reid. It was only on for one season-never understood why it didn't make it. It was done by the same producer who did "WKRP" and was hilarious.
I'd say "The Jeffersons." I thought The Jeffersons was so much better than "All in the Family," from which it was a spinoff. It wasn't overtly political or entangled in current events of that time, so it's much more fun to watch today. Mother Jefferson was priceless. It was a really good show.
Sanford and Son was also pretty funny at times.
I may be one of the only people on the planet, but I wasn't a great fan of "The Cosby Show." The family was just too perfect, in an unrealistic '80s sort of way. It was more preachy than funny, IMO.
I also wasn't a great fan of "Good Times." It was better at the beginning, but it went off the rails pretty quickly and never got back on, IMO.
Why do I have a feeling if someone posted "greatest white sitcom ever" that people would have a hissy?
That's because prior to "The Jeffersons" (the first sitcom to premier centered around a black family rather than with side characters who were black), EVERY sitcom was a white sitcom.
Good Times! I like the episodes with James (father). He was definately a "keep it real" dad!!
