I had lunch with a friend a few days ago and at one point we talked about how much we both like the new show Modern Family [2]. She said it was very unusual for her to like a sitcom [3] at all. Even though they are not fashionable right now, I am the complete opposite -- I love a well-written sitcom. Make me laugh for 30 minutes at a time and I'm loyal for life. I was overjoyed when television DVD sets were introduced, and I take full advantage of the library's collection. Here are a few of my favorites through the years that I have revisited with the help of my library card:
- The Dick Van Dyke Show [4] (1961-1966)
- WKRP in Cincinnati [5] (1978-1982)
- Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister [6] (1980-1987)
- Blackadder [7] (1983-1989)
- Frasier [8] (1993-2004)
- NewsRadio [9] (1995-1999)
- Arrested Development [10] (2003-2006)
- Extras [11] (2005-2007)
- 30 Rock [12](2006- present)
