Agreed though I still prefer Frasier and WKRP in Cincinnati to any other live action American comedy series.

[(Anonymous)]

Those two are amazing.

[(Anonymous)]

I think this is the consensus among sitcom nerds, if not the general public at large

Also gotta give a 90s sitcom shoutout to Newsradio

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I was gonna say, "Seinfeld" was supposed to be the "cool" show compared to the popular stuff like "Friends", from what I remember.

I've not seen enough of either show to really have much of an opinion one way or another, myself (or "That '70s Show", for that matter). My favorite '90s sitcoms are more stuff like "Frasier", "3rd Rock", "Wings", "Roseanne", and "Will & Grace", to name a few. Some of those I didn't discover until I started catching reruns on TV, but I enjoy them.

[(Anonymous)]

That's a low bar...

[(Anonymous)]

Ditto. I mean, Seinfeld is also funnier than gangrene or sewerage but that doesn't make it good.

[(Anonymous)]

This is because it was.

[greghousesgf]

IMHO there's not much competition there, I find both Friends and That 70's Show really unfunny. (and I'm old enough to have been around in the 70's and That 70's Show isn't even accurate!)

I was a child in Wisconsin in the 70s and they definitely never got Wisconsin right once, let alone the 70s.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like they just picked Wisconsin because Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley were set in Milwaukee.

[(Anonymous)]

That seems to be a thing. Parks and Rec was Cal any time they went outside, and Stranger Things is very Georgia. Schitts Creek isn't bad, because they never said where it was supposed to be.

[(Anonymous)]

In narrative, Schitts Creek was very careful to never mention the name of a state or provence. So it never had the problem of characters namedropping real world locations while being filmed in a state with better tax breaks.

[(Anonymous)]

I think that’s a case of YMMV. My mom was a teenager in the 70s and she found the first three or so seasons of That 70s Show to be pretty nostalgic.

[(Anonymous)]

I never watched any of the three because sitcoms give me way too much secondhand embarrassment, but from what I know of the shows, isn't it like... three different types of humour/show period? Seems weird to compare them.

OT, but something I think about whenever That 70s Show comes up

[(Anonymous)]

If they were doing a show today, set the same number of years back as That 70s Show was when it premiered, it would start in 1999.

Re: OT, but something I think about whenever That 70s Show comes up

[(Anonymous)]

Fresh Off the Boat started in 1995 and I think it ended in 1999.

[(Anonymous)]

I really enjoyed That 70s Show when it was airing, but I could never get into Seinfeld. I guess it just wasn't my type of humor.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like generally, actors who've done standup or live stuff like SNL or Second City things are better on sitcoms in terms of delivery/timing.

Not always true, but it makes a difference. Robin Williams and Steve Martin, for example nailed every comedy movie they were in, too. Good timing can make even lame writing bearable.

[greghousesgf]

I love Robin Williams but some of the movies he was in were bloody awful IMHO

[meadowphoenix]

I kinda don't understand why people compare them, friends was relational humor, seinfeld was almost nihilist humor, that 70s show is relational, but about stoner sub-culture. it's not necessarily the case that everyone will like all those different types of humor.
