My Wife and Kids is easily top ten black sitcoms

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Junior was too stupid to live. It went from funny to pathetic. But thick Gina though.....

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Just Top 10? I'd say it's definitely Top 5.

 

[Metta World Movement]

Show is criminally underrated. I think it might be because it's not really a 'black' sitcom. Same reason Family Matters gets so much hate nowadays.

You can thank that fukking Urkel and sappy piano for that.

Would barely crack the top 20 if you add Jamie Foxx and the Wayans Bros.

Well I was born in 1988, so I haven't watched many sitcoms from before the 90's, especially black sitcoms before the 90's. I've never even sat down and watched a whole episode of "The Cosby Show" or it's spinoff "A Different World" in syndication even though both shows ran into the early 90's. So my opinion is skewed.

I definitely have "Martin" & "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" in my top 5 black shows of all-time. I gotta put "My Wife and Kids" in my top 5 black sitcoms.

 

[Tommy Tuffnuts]

top ten really?

How can you have an "all-time" list when you have no frame of reference for anything that aired before the 1990s?

shyt, there arent any excuses even without the internet


my little brother was born in 1987 and we used to watch all of these shows together, BEFORE the internet.


My Wife and Kids doesnt even make my top 20 black sitcoms, and after the 2nd season it got stupid fast.


A criminally underrated and forgotten black sitcom, Roc. I used to love watching Roc.

Respect your opinion, but the VAST majority of the pre-90s shows have been in syndication since going off the air. NO EXCUSE for not seeing Cosby or Different World...

Roc was so ahead of its time. The drama mixed with the live filming was ... Charles Dutton's angry ass was always comedy

 

[Rev]

Top 10, not at all...but it was a very funny show.

Franklin, Tony & Damon Wayans' real-life son were great characters.

@mastermind Roc was a classic, yea. It was impressive when they used to do Roc Live too.

I can get on board with everything but boring Benson. Can you really call a show with one nikka on it a black sitcom?

MWAK was very funny until Megan Good got replaced by the redbone and the whole cast became moron caricatures...and Franklin "Urkel" started being in every scene (wtf was this lil nikka doing with them at the breakfast table and family vacations? )

and i had to neg the cat talking about all-time black shows and never seen one episode of Cosby or any 70's/80's show
