Fresh prince of bel air, martin, and the cosby show wasn't on there, but key and peele made it.

Everybody hates Chris is much more superior.
That list is

Two different shows tho. Roseanne actually went into drama. It wasn't straight comedy.
How did All In The Family make the top 10?
Norman Lear homie. Three of his shows are on this list and for good reason
That wasn't even his best show. They didn't even include Sanford and Son.
All in the family is his most significant show though. That's the one that'll be at the top of his obituary. And because it did comedy and drama equally well. I feel like only good times rivaled it as far as his shows go in that regard and yeah it's just his most significant contribution to television because everything stemmed from it. Plus again you got the taboo breaking while not being afraid to portray a guy like archie bunker in a negative light
TrebleMan

Fresh Prince not on the list automatically disqualifies it.
Rolling Stone makes some of the worst "top lists" of all-time, if anything, they're a top 5 in the Top 100 Worst List Makers of-all time category.
Atlanta with only 5 episodes right now > the majority of that list. Some of those shows belong nowhere near the top 100 of all-time.
edit: Married... with Children didn't make the top 100? They're now in the top 3 Worst List Makers of all-time ranking, maybe even took the top spot with that one.

They both had a similar premise though and came out the same time so Roseanne didn't really break the mold. They both were dysfunctional families in sitcoms even though one was more slapstick. In the later seasons Roseanne took itself way too seriously while MWC stayed funny throughout when they were both supposed to be comedies at heart.

mr show is extremely overrated too.
if you condensed that entire series down to 4-5 episodes you'd have a solid, classic collection. but all in all that show was pretty bad imo.

Hence me saying two different shows. Because Roseanne could do both and do them both well it's going to get the nod. Especially if you're asking a group of writers and producers and show runners. Roseanne toed that line between comedy and drama early in its run while married with children was probably a smarter comedy than it became after season 5 but still hilarious.
Any time I see a list like this I don't worry about whether I agree or disagree rather whether I can understand the mindset of why it's on and I get why Roseanne is on the list.
Rolling Stone lists are terrible though so I don't know why you'd try to see it from their view. There's an Entertainment Weekly list awhile back that has MWC and Rosanne not even mentioned.
