Hey now, the Cosby Show was one of my favourite shows growing up and still ranks #2 in my three fave sitcoms ever (Seinfeld and Three’s Company making up 1 and 3 respectively). Clare was a lawyer and Cosby was a doctor. In “Everybody Hates Chris” the family is depicted as not-wealthy but they’re still a stable nuclear family unit with loving (if slightly eccentric) parents who are trying to the best by their kids.
Well, dang it if you ain’t right!
Terrible misapprehension to saddle the poor kid with.
But can you really blame me for mistaking a youngerAngus T. Jones for Spencer Breslin?
Whoops! Sorry, image links worked when pasted into the URL field, butnot when posted!
I have to confess never seeing a full episode of Mad About You. I always assumed it was only popular because of its spot on Thursday Nights. I was never that fond of **Seinfeld ** or Friends
Scottandrsn, your list has a number of “flagship” shows on it, that draw an audience of their own. They still may suck, but they don’t qualify as “*hitcoms.”

The images were from their IMDB pages:
If you didn’t see them right next to each other, you’d never know they were two different kids.
As amazing as it seems, there were only four seasons of Seinfeld-ER shitcoms.
From best to worst, I’d have to say:
Veronica’s Closet (1997-1998): I actually liked this show alright, and it had some decent writing. The idea of a character who could not figure out that he was gay despite all evidence to the contrary was pulled off quite well, I thought.
Caroline in the City (1995-1996): Some good performers here with mediocre concept and writing, but it ranks high because I appeared on it as an extra.
Suddenly Susan (1996-1997): Some OK performances and writing, but had to contend with the absolute lack of acting ability or comic timing on the part of Brooke Shields.
Madman of the People (1994-1995): Utter dreck.
I actually liked Blossom. She was smart and not terribly pretty (which was oddly refreshing at the time), one brother was a idiot, the other was a recovering drug addict and Dad was a musician. Don’t remember much else, other than her friend Six, but I recall enjoying that show more than not. Ah well, to each his own.
I love both these kids. They’re naturally cute — not that forced, precocious kinda cute that makes you want to put your foot on their throad.
Throat. Ahem!
Horses for courses. Tony Shaloub and Thomas Haden Church alone made the show worth watching. And Crystal Bernard was smoking hot.
Admit it, you work for CBS.
