The Office (both)
Mash
All in the Family
Arrested Development (too bad too many people don't 'get it')

From the list, THE OFFICE.

Why is FRIENDS on the list with the other "newer" shows? There are many older shows that are funnier. Odd poll

I forgot about AbFab which I used to watch all the time. What I do watch almost every Saturday night is Are You Being Served? I still love it even though I have been watching it for at least 30 years.

Full House ~ I admit that I watched it for John Stamos.
Designing Women ~ except for the last couple of seasons
That '70s Show ~ till the cast changed too much, about the time Donna/Laura Prepon bleached her hair
Leave It to Beaver ~ I grew up with this, and my mother said that she identifies with Theodore's ability to get into situations such as the coffee cup on the billboard. She said that, when she was a little girl, she and her best friend used to get into all sorts of predicaments.

"Eerie, Indiana" had a lot of comedic moments, with some of them rather dark or macabre. However, I'm not sure it would fit into the sitcom category.

By the way, I don't watch any of the series you listed. I figured if I didn't like the ads and the sampling of episodes, they aren't for me. Strangely, I love "Coupling", the British version of "Friends", which I think is horrendous~as awful as "Seinfeld" and "Everybody(?!) Loves Raymond"~oh, and "Fresh Prince"~oh, and "Drew Carey". Uckity uck to the umpteenth power! (I'm an old lady who has seen plenty of series to gauge them against.)
