30 Greatest TV Sitcoms Of All Time
1. The Simpsons
Easily the most successful animated show of all time, The Simpsons is the longest running TV show ever aired and is still bringing out episodes to this day.
Kicking off in 1989, Matt Groening's satirical depiction of the average American family has won the hearts of audiences worldwide. The silly, destructive antics of Homer, along with his kind wife Marge, hell-raiser son Bart, over-achiever Lisa and sneaky baby Maggie, have made The Simpsons one of the most dependable comedies ever made.
It may have dropped in quality over the years, but the influence of The Simpsons cannot be understated.
The social commentary, the slew of iconic supporting and guest characters, the famous faces, the brilliant writing and a side of big-heartedness all mixed together into one perfect concoction make the show both unrivalled and immeasurably iconic.
Even the more recent episodes remain top-notch TV, but thanks to the show's golden age it has nothing left to prove to audiences. Its characters, its tone and its intelligence make it the greatest sitcom of all time, and the world is a better place for it.
