Star Trek or The Twilight Zone

It's insane how well The Twilight Zone holds up given that it's 65 years old. Rod Serling is still so cool.

Two words: Lucille Ball.

MASH and Hogan’s Heroes

Mind your language I suppose

I just finished watching through The Mary Tyler Moore Show and recommend it to anyone who enjoys sitcoms. Basically every sitcom since its airing bears some influence from it.

Nice. What about I Love Lucy?

Oh, and the MTM cat logo…that one wigs me out.

Especially when the cat dies in one variant.

Still need to watch I Love Lucy, but obviously that one is the grandmama of all sitcoms. I mention MTM because it's not nearly as remembered, but it should be.

Depending on where you live, you can watch it on Pluto TV because they have a channel where they play all the episodes of I Love Lucy for free.

Actually, everything on Pluto TV is free.

You can also find Lucille Ball’s other shows on Tubi too like The Lucy Show and Here’s Lucy.

So hard to pick just one! If we're going favorites (though maybe not best, exactly), I'll have to go with the miniseries The Prisoner. I also have to mention Frasier, as it's my favorite classic sitcom.

Depends on what you call classic I suppose but Babylon 5 and Stargate SG-1 are probably my favorites from when I was growing up.
