One of the most beloved, sharply written, and well-performed sitcoms about the newswoman who could turn the world on with her smile. The show didn’t shy away from more pressing issues and focused on something that had hitherto been ignored in TV: a single, career-centric woman.
Many spin-offs were generated on the back of its success, including one with Rhonda and Lou Grant. Moore and Grant Tinker decided to gracefully bow out after seven seasons, ending the show on a high in 1977.
How I Met Your Mother
"How I Met Your Mother" is a show that recounts how Ted Mosby, the main character, met his children's mother. Each episode is set on the backdrop of Ted tells his kids a story, which leads up to the so-called moment of meeting their mother. This framing method sets this show apart from others of its ilk and keeps the audience coming back, so they too will figure out how Ted met his wife.
Plus, the humor in it is clever enough to be quotable and clear enough to be put on in the background while we're busy with something else.
Fresh Off the Boat
"Fresh Off the Boat" may feel like a conventional sitcom that barely had any trouble adapting to modern taste, but at the same time, it also addresses very real and complicated issues surrounding American life. This is a fish out water, family show with topical humor, and it's all delivered at a quick pace. We can't believe it either, but it's also the first American sitcom to mainly feature an Asian-American family.
"Fresh Off the Boat" is as smart as it is funny and as heartfelt as it is current, w their number of jokes for every scene being impressive as well.
Cheers
Before "Friends" was even a spark of an idea, there was "Cheers." The astonishingly popular series debuted in 1982, bringing together stars like Ted Danson and Shelley Long into the view of public cognizance. At first, the first season brought in poor ratings, and the show was almost axed, but the network carried on, and "Cheers" became one of the greatest comedies ever to grace our TV screens.
The show carried on for 11 seasons, scooping up awards across the board. The series would probably have continued for a lot longer if Ted Danson hadn't decided to leave.
The Honeymooners
Jackie Gleason starred in the show he created alongside Audrey Meadows. Initially, the series had everything it took to be a success as it raked in the viewing numbers. Despite a promising start, ratings swiftly dropped, thanks in part to direct competition from NBC's popular program "The Perry Como Show."
Interesting fact, Gleason wanted to make "The Honeymooners" a success so badly that he paid the majority of production costs out of his own salary.
