90's sitcoms that still make you laugh

My roommate and I do not have cable, but we have 18 terabytes of downloaded movies and tv shows to keep us entertained. I actually haven't seen a commercial in about 6 years (aside from at friends houses) and I never see movie trailers so it's always a great surprise when I come across new stuff. It's like being cut off from mainstream Hollywood culture while still being able to pick and choose what we please.

The problem with having a huge on demand library is that, often you do not know what you demand. Going through and choosing something becomes a task, so we often just load entire seasons of shows and leave them on for days.

The top three sitcoms that still make us genuinely laugh are...

Married With Children - Al's insults to fat women are still hilarious. Actually the show was basically a series of insults broken up by silly plot lines, but cruelty has still never been as funny as MWC. When it came down to it, despite their contempt for each other, the Bundys always stuck together.

Roseann - The quips and snappy dialog are still quite amusing. The storylines often dealt with real problems we all face, and it always tries to leave you with a sense of hope. The last line from the entire series is my favorite.
I learned that dreams don’t work without action; I learned that no one could stop me but me. I learned that love is stronger than hate. And most important, I learned that God does exist. He and/or She is right inside you, underneath the pain, the sorrow, and the shame.
Seinfeld - The quirkiness of each plot and each character still makes me laugh. Seinfeld had it's own internal world of humor that built on itself. I do notice that nowadays some of the jokes are just downright cheesy, but it was a consistently funny show and still makes me crack up today.

So what are some 90's sitcoms that you still have love for?



Incidentally, some other series that got heavy rotation over our summer/fall were...

Cops - Have 700+ episodes of this. Great for making a drinking game out of...
X-files - the storyline is old and tired but this still entertains us, even if to just make fun of it
Prison Break - First 2 seasons = One of the best serials ever. Last 2 season = One of the worst serials ever.
House - Even though it's a VERY predictable show, it's still entertaining. House's insults to god are priceless.

I liked Roseanne, she was real in a sense. A show the average person could relate to.

Still watch it here and there with the wife for good laughs.:-P

Ya man. Malcolm in the Middle has to be the most tolerable sitcom. Dewey is a funny little bastard haha

The plots were interesting, and the characters were genuinely unique.

That show gives me major nostalgia from being a kid in gradeschool :)

Those were the days
