Is Martin, Fresh Prince and Wayans Bros, the big 3 for black sitcoms

[The Mad Titan]

In no order

Family matters
Cosby Show
Fresh Prince


The rest....

 

[El Bombi]

You can hate Steve Harvey being a current fake ass, but let not act like Romeo and Bullethead didn't have some classic moments.

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

I used to think wayans bros was funny as a kid but now I'll watch reruns on TVone and hardly laugh

on the flip side I never fukked with cosby show as a kid but now I watch it and it's hilarious

 

[El Bombi]

Wayans Bros Keith Sweat Episode is a classic.

Keith Sweat: "God give me the strength to keep from dropping this brotha. If he keep stealing my lines."

 

[kp404]

Sanford and Son
Family Matters
Cosby Show

On the flip side, its Martin, Fresh Prince, then Wayans Bros.

Scust at the wayans not being memorable

"Money being made around here, bang, big ole cars, range rovers, diamond rings......if u like them kinda thing"

"Shake that booty booty booty"

"I gotta hunnad dollars, not yo a hunnad dollars"

When shawn called dude fetus face

The episode when they was tryna see who burned the lobby

The ep wit Bernie mac as shank

What about that episode when they were on Jerry. Marlon was killing it the whole time.

Marlon saying "Make it HOTTTTTTTA"

"Pop Pop Pop Pop Sugar Pop" and "When my love goes Bang Bang Bang you better run you sweeeeeeet little thang"

Everytime they said "cooookooooooo" and Pops came out the diner talking about "Somebody set trippin up in here?"

Altho I love all 3 shows, I wouldn't name them all top 3. there are different levels to it and wayans bros belongs in the group with shows like jamie foxx, Steve Harvey, and my wife and kids. my top 3 would start with Sanford and son. even today it's still funny and he paved the way for a lot of these shows. next in a close second is the Cosby show. another innovator who had longevity and influenced the shows off the 90s. and third is hard but I have to go with fresh prince. just the way that show developed and grew over the years and how it helped launched will Smith into the movie star he became. alot of good black sitcoms those days. sad to say I can't think of good ones or atleast any I personally watch now.

 

[distinguishedNOW]

Whoa @ Wayan Bros not having any memorable moments.



I remember being a young pup seeing this and losing it.

 

[The War Report]

I never laughed so hard watching a sitcom than I did with The Wayans Bros when I was growing up. Marlin and Pops were killing it. The Cosbys will always be The GOAT because it transcended stereotypes that people had of black folks. Sanford and Son, Good Times, and The Jeffersons paved the way though.

 

[Jone2three45]

Wayans bros has literally zero memorable moments

Lies,
Seasons 3-5 had many of memorable moments and are goat.

[MoneyBags]

Sanford and Son >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ALL

Funniest black shows IMO:

Sanford And Son
Fresh Prince
Good Times
Cosby Show
Family Matters (before it became a sci-fi fantasy show, it was actually pretty funny and a good show)

Martin is overrated. those corny ass short jokes about martin, the big head jokes about pam and the ugly jokes about pam weren't funny. Now old Otis was the man, I fukks with his segments.

 

[Whitty Hutton]

I disagree. Their after school special, "don't do drugs" episode is one of the worst things I've ever seen

I'll NEVER forget Marlon's reaction to smoking weed

Ain't no weed gonna make a nikka spaz like that...that nikka's blunt got laced with dust

I love all 3 of those shows to death, but if you want to name a big 3 of black sitcoms of all time you have to consider what was watched by the most black people. Those shows you could probably say are relevant to people now ranging from age 20-50. Good Times, Jeffersons, Cosby, Sanford & Son, Diff'rent Strokes are relevant to blacks in their 30's to
Plus the homie George Jefferson was in all 3 of the shows in the title

So much piff to choose from when making a list. Nobody's mentioned "Amen" or "227" either
It''s a shame where black tv is today

Wayans bros has literally zero memorable moments

chivalry is dead.
