If you could live in a TV sitcom
which one?

I think "Golden Girls" would be pretty cool, if you were a retiree. Otherwise "Three's Company" although nobody actually seemed to get laid in that show.

1. "The Addams Family" or "Absolutely Fabulous"
Laughs all around.

8. He
sleeps with EVERYBODY on that show. It really is an extension of him, at least as I understand his life via the media.

37. Bzzzzzzt! Not really a sitcom.
Thanks for playing, though, and I agree that Cicely is WAAAAAY cooler than Wasilla!

4. That depends on whether my conditions are met.
I'll take Gilligan's Island, with the following conditions:

1. I get to do Mary-Ann. Non-negotiable.
2. We fix the hole in the boat after a year or so.

If those conditions can't be met, Soap. But I get to be a Tate.

And if that's not possible I'll go with Barney Miller.

23. Barney Miller with a frequent supply of hashish brownies.
:evilgrin:

When Wojo unwittingly brings in hash brownies is one of the funniest episodes ever.

6. That's a good question, and I have no ready answer. I'll have to think about that one.

10. 30 Rock -- I'd say make me a Tina Fey love interest
except they don't seem to stick around too long... I guess put me in the writer's room. I think I'd fit right in.

25. I am sure hubby would vote for that one too. LOL He and I actually could stand in very easily for
Dan and Roseanne Conner ("Roseanne"), or Tim and Jill Taylor ("Home Improvement".)

17. I guess Friends...
Because I'm a 20 something white dude.

Other than that, I don't fit the typical sitcom.

I grew up in a Roseann-like family, so I've been there, done that and the experience was tough at times.

I wish I could live in New York. So I guess Friends or Seinfeld. But Seinfeld is where maybe I'd like to be in ten years.

So yeah.

22. That's what I was thinking
Or The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Even the jerks on that show (like Ted Baxter) were people I'd want to work with.

Being on The Dick Van Dyke Show as one of the comedy writers for the Allan Brady Show would be cool (although Maury Amsterdam would probably get on my nerves after a while).

24. The Golden Girls.
There's something sweet and cozy about that show. Funny too, and the players are first rate.
I often turn them on at bedtime. Kinda like being watched over by a gaggle of dear girl friends.
I like the house, too, although I'd change out the furniture. I'm sick of that floral pattern in the living room.

36. I agree
There's something comforting about the show. I like to watch it before going to bed too.

29. I acually did live in a "Three's Company" situation for a while.
Jiggly blonde, a cute brunette, and me.

I didn't get laid, either.

30. Boy Meets World
Hot girlfriend who's way out of my league; friendships that never end; and parents that are not perfect, but they come close.

32. That's a toughie.
I'd say Seinfeld, Weeds (although not really a sitcom), Extras, or the original Office.

35. I don't know
I have so many shows I love. Golden Girls, Roseanne, and Arrested Development would be fun. Bewitched would also be fun because of the superpowers.
