Sitcoms are an important piece of television history. Short for situation comedy, sitcoms generally feature characters who appear from episode to episode and find them in everyday situations that often turn comedic. Many sitcoms have been filmed in front of a live studio audience or at least used a laugh track.
With the rise of streaming, the golden age of sitcoms may be behind audiences, but that does not mean that there have not been some great sitcoms over the years. Some of these great sitcoms became pioneers for the genre, while others have become the gold standard that many sitcoms have tried to emulate to various forms of success.
Updated on June 6, 2024 by Katie Doll: This article has been updated to include more information about the best sitcoms of all time, as well as five more entries, and to reflect CBR's most current standards in formatting.
45 New Girls Is Quirky Millennial Humor At Its Finest
Rotten Tomatoes (Audience Score) | 95% |

IMDb | 7.8/10 |
Metacritic | 67 |
A lot of sitcoms thrive off of just friends hanging out in their 20s and 30s. That was the appeal of Friends during its run, and that's what made people fall in love with New Girl. That and Zooey Deschanel just has an effortless charm to her that makes Jess's quirky personality so lovable.
The more seasons went by of New Girl, the more people fell in love with the supporting characters of New Girl. Jess's male roommates -- Schmidt, Nick and Winston -- and her best friend Cece rounded out Jess's innocent aura. And while some people may consider millennial humor corny these days, New Girl somehow made it work across all generations. Nearly everyone wanted to hang out with this group of roommates in their chic Los Angeles loft.

44 Malcolm in the Middle Is Relatable for Dysfunctional Families
Rotten Tomatoes (Audience Score) | 89% |

IMDb | 8.2/10 |
Metacritic | 88 |
Before he was Walter White, a.k.a. Heisenberg in Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston was just the typical sitcom dad in Malcolm in the Middle. Cranston played Hal along with Jane Kaczmarek as Lois, raising three (later) four boys. But while everyone knows who Cranston is, it was Frankie Muniz as Malcolm who was the true star of the show, putting other child actors to shame.
Dysfunctional families are nothing rare in sitcoms, but Malcolm in the Middle sets itself apart by being relatable and clever. The series often focused on the trials and tribulations of being a working-class family in America, leading to some hilarious plots. One might say that Malcolm in the Middle reinvented the face of the sitcom by removing the multicam and laugh track, making it one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time.

43 Young Sheldon Follows Up as a Spectacular Prequel Spinoff

Young Sheldon ends on a bittersweet note as the Cooper family navigates grief after a life-changing moment shakes up their dynamic.
Rotten Tomatoes (Audience Score) | 83% |

IMDb | 7.7/10 |
Metacritic | 63 |
If there are any shows that need to be noted for being a brilliant sitcom spinoff, it should be Young Sheldon. As a prequel series to The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon offers a different perspective on Sheldon Cooper's life as a young prodigy growing up in Medford, Texas. The series doesn't involve a laughing track and is styled as a modern dramedy towards the end of its run.
These changes, plus the addition of Sheldon's family, are what made Young Sheldon stand on its own without the shadow of The Big Bang Theory. The Cooper family dynamics are messy and complicated, but the tragedy is part of the appeal. Young Sheldon is one of the few sitcoms that managed to balance comedy and devastation, which is an incredibly hard feat to accomplish with grace.

42 Derry Girls Puts a Coming-of-Age Twist on the Troubles
Rotten Tomatoes | 99% |
---|---|
IMDb | 8.5/10 |
Metacritic | 87 |
Derry Girls could've failed on all levels. It's a comedy set in Northern Ireland during the conflict known as the Troubles, in which thousands of people died fighting for either United Kingdom control or a united Ireland. Bridges are threatened with bombs and school buses are searched by the military. It's dark and depressing, and Derry Girls doesn't ignore that. It just shifts the focus to a group of girls and an English fella who've lived their entire lives in this conflict.
Derry Girls is one of the smartest shows about growing up in a conflict and having known nothing else. To the main characters, the Troubles is wrapped up in their identity, but it also doesn't define them. It sets the bar pretty high for teen coming-of-age comedies and leaves people wanting more after its short three-season run.

The Patrick Star Show Fuses Pee-Wee Herman With SpongeBob SquarePants
Often feeling like a less restrained SpongeBob SquarePants, The Patrick Star Show's giddy goofiness ultimately works to the show's benefit.

There's never been a show quite as influential on Gen Z culture as SpongeBob Squarepants. The children's sitcom surprisingly holds up with mature audiences who can either relate to SpongeBob's effortless positivity or Squidward's hatred of the workforce. SpongeBob Squarepants has been made into hundreds of memes throughout the years, reminding people why it left such an empowering legacy that continues in its 14th season.
The sitcom follows the titular character who lives in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom with his friends and the antics he gets up to in his everyday life. What connects people to the show is the timeless language that defined Gen Z's sense of humor. It may have been nonsensical at times, but it can also be sharp and witty in its best moments.

10 Greatest Movies That Became Family Guy Episodes
Seth MacFarlane often uses Family Guy to reference and parody popular and classic films, creating some of the best episodes of the animated series.
Family Guy follows the Griffin family in Quahog, Rhode Island. Led by hapless patriarch Peter, the family gets into various hijinks and wacky situations. Famous for its cutaways, the show also spoofs many famous movies, television shows and celebrities for satire. It is one of the longest-running shows in television history, currently in its 22nd season with over 400 episodes.
Creator Seth MacFarlane also serves as executive producer for the show and voices a plethora of characters, including main characters Peter, Brian, Stewie and Quagmire. The show is also not afraid to get political nor handle tough topics, which has made it a controversial show to many, but it is nonetheless still enjoyed. It was canceled after its 3rd season but revived due to its immense popularity from syndication.

39 The Office (U.K.) Spawned A Franchise Of Adaptations
Rotten Tomatoes | 97% |
---|---|
IMDb | 8.5/10 |
Metacritic | 97 |
The U.K. version of The Office proved to be a landmark series. Only running for 14 episodes, the series was set at the Wernham Hogg paper company branch led by David Brent (Ricky Gervais). The branch’s employees are filmed mockumentary-style as the company is beginning to close branches.
The show was not a ratings hit upon release but soon became one of the greatest British series ever made. Its impact was massive, as it led to a franchise of localized adaptations of the show. The most famous of the adaptations was the American version starring Steve Carell. Gervais made a cameo in the American version as his character David Brent for an episode in 2011.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine always offered different brands of humor for fans to enjoy. But the best Jake and Boyle scenes more than proved that.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows a group of NYPD detectives who are adjusting to their jobs under a new commanding officer, Captain Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher). At the 99th Precinct, there is no shortage of craziness among its detectives and their lives, starting with the lovable Detective Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg).
The show was a surprise hit, winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy for its first season. In addition, Samberg won for Best Actor- Television Series Musical or Comedy. It proved to be a mainstay on Fox for its first five seasons before being surprisingly canceled. However, due to its popularity, it was picked up by NBC for the rest of its run, running for 3 more seasons.

37 Barney Miller Was Filmed Like A Stage Play
Rotten Tomatoes | N/A |
---|---|
IMDb | 8.3/10 |
Metacritic | N/A |
Barney Miller follows the 12th Precinct of the New York police department. Led by Captain Miller, the detectives deal with the eccentric characters that come through the station. The show ran for 8 seasons from 1975-1982. The show also produced a spin-off surrounding Abe Vigoda's character, Fish.
Barney Miller was a unique sitcom that operated more like a stage play, given that the show rarely ever left the precinct. Perhaps one episode a season would feature a storyline outside the precinct, but it was rare. It was a testament to how great the writing for the show was that a majority of episodes could be set in one location.
36 Family Ties Highlighted The Culture Change Of The 1980s

Family Ties revolves around the everyday lives of the Keaton family in Ohio. Parents Steven and Elyse, liberals and former hippies, clash with their ultra-conservative oldest son Alex P. Keaton (Michael J. Fox) over politics and other social issues of the 1980s. The show proved to be a breakout role for Fox, who won 3 consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award for his performance.
The show highlighted the cultural divide taking place in the United States during the 1980s. The younger generation, people like Alex, rejected the counterculture of the 1960s, people like Steven and Elyse. The show was famously President Ronald Reagan’s favorite show during the 1980s.

Every Modern Family Christmas Episode, Ranked
America's favorite sitcom family always had tricks up their sleeves during the holidays. Here's a ranking of every Modern Family Christmas episode.
Modern Family is set in suburban Los Angeles and depicts the everyday lives of three very different, but related, families. The families face daily trials and tribulations and rely on their extended family for support. The show features an ensemble cast that includes Ed O’Neill, Sofía Vergara, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jessie Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet.
Many of the show’s story lines are inspired by real-life stories of various families. The show depicts, as the name suggests, families in modern times that come in all different shapes and sizes (blended, nuclear, same-sex, etc.). It is one of the most nominated shows in television history, and the cast only submitted for supporting actor/actress categories to reinforce the fact that the show was led by its ensemble as a whole.

32 The Bob Newhart Show Had Several Gags From Newhart's Stand-Up Routine
Rotten Tomatoes | N/A |
---|---|
IMDb | 8.1/10 |
Metacritic | 9.2 (User Score) |
The Bob Newhart Show stars Bob Newhart as Bob, a Chicago psychologist, following his home and professional life. Bob is constantly dealing with the eccentric characters he crosses paths with, whether they are his patients, colleagues or neighbors. Over the course of the show’s run, many guest stars would fill these roles, with Bob often playing the straight man to give the show its signature comedy.
The show took various elements from Newhart’s stand-up routine. One of the famous ones was the telephone conversations that are one-sided when the audience only hears Bob. Another gag from the show that is enshrined in the pop culture lexicon is “Hi, Bob,” which was said so often that it even became a popular drinking game. The cast reunited in 1991 for a special that followed the characters in the present day and Newhart appeared as his character on several other shows after the series ended in 1978.

Diff’rent Strokes follows Willis and Arnold Jackson, two young boys from Harlem who are taken in by Philip Drummond, a wealthy businessman as well as a father to his daughter Kimberly. The Jacksons’ mother used to work for Drummond until she passed away, and he decided to adopt her kids. For the first two seasons, Charolette Rae costarred as Mrs. Garrett, the family’s housekeeper, before being spun off into her own show, The Facts of Life.
The show is best known for its “very special episodes,” which involved serious topics not normally found in a sitcom. Several of these episodes tackled the issues of racism, drug use, kidnapping and child sex abuse. “The Bicycle Man Episode” is the most famous of the special episodes, where Arnold and his friend befriend a bicycle shop owner who attempts to molest them. Many of these episodes began or ended with a message from star Conrad Bain imploring viewers to talk about the episode and be aware if they ever experience it themselves.

Arrested Development has been one of the most popular sitcoms of recent times, with a large cast of characters who have had varying performances.
Arrested Development follows the dysfunctional Bluth family. Michael must take over the family affairs after his father is imprisoned, but finds the task to be daunting while dealing with his more eccentric family members. The Bluths used to be very wealthy, but when corrupt real estate developer George is arrested, everything changes for the family.
Arrested Development features an ensemble cast including Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Tony Hale, and Jeffrey Tambor. It ran for three seasons from 2003 to 2006, and then Netflix revived it for two more seasons, released in 2013 and 2018-2019, respectively. The show’s popularity in syndication partly caused its revival. Especially since many fans sensed the story wasn't truly over when the series was originally canceled. Arrested Development also became an influence for later single-camera comedies of the 2000s.

South Park follows four young boys — Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny — who get into various hijinks and situations in their town in Colorado. Despite being an animated sitcom, the show is best known for its use of vulgar comedy, profanity, dark humor, and sometimes heavy subject matter.
South Park has run for 23 seasons, including several specials and a feature film. Due to the show's nature, South Park has garnered a lot of controversy over the years, though it also improved Comedy Central's reach. Various controversies include the show’s use of profanity, its depiction of various religions, and its denial of (and later reversal on) climate change. The Parents Television Council has continually criticized South Park for over 20 years, yet the brazen series continues.
