I have them in my Top 5. I've been watching them daily on youtube and they're still funny. It went 9 seasons and was consistent, can't say that about Martin.

it's prolly top 10.

I still put Fresh Prince, Cosby, Different World, Martin ahead of them due to my blackness but I can't front.. once I started watching the reruns I realized it was a damn good sitcom.

The Father is hilarious.

For me, it was one of the most underrated sitcoms ever.

the more i think about it...

yeah, it's up there.

Also, some of the REALEST portrayal of black characters.

I really appreciated who and what Deacon was.

There was a kind of racial awareness about the show that was pretty cool. And, if it was all white folks involved with the writing, they get my respect for that.

word. from what i remember, for a comedic sidekick character he took no shit. like at all.

I always liked that Deacon was just another one of the guys. They didn't pull any overtly, stereotypical race storylines out of their asses. Whenever they did touch on race, it was done with humor & respect.

One of my favorite moments ever was when Arthur told Kelly that he was known to partake in some "brown sugar" back in the day.

I got tears in my eyes just thinking about that shit.

.

Doug asked him if he ever got tired of playing out the stereotype

Deacon responds: nah, do you?

my roommate Owens and I bought every season of KOQ and Scrubs and watched them from beginning to end. Those two will forever be in my top 5.

.

what show started that? The Honeymooners?

I'm tryna be better off, not better than...

giving a 5 pt buffer
but Leah Remini is in my top 5 fave yt girls

>but Leah Remini is in my top 5 fave yt girls

IMO he was better as Arthur Spooner than Frank Costanza.

I was surprised at how much I don't find Kevin James funny outside of the show. I think I caught a special of his on Comedy Central and noticed some of the jokes were lifted from the show. But I didn't find him funny in that context.

The show had a lot going for it!!! Loved Deacon, Jerry Still as Arthur, Leah Remini, Patton Oswalt, the "dumb" friend Rich, etc. It was great

The show lifted jokes from his stand up.

I figured they originated from him either way

Top 3 sitcom

I'd say it's a top 10 sitcom

(searching for an apartment to buy in the city got me wondering that...)

where in queens did that show even take place??

.

lol

.

.

..classic set up, incredible cast, great execution.

definitely in my top 10, all time.

looooooooooool


Anyway, my top 5 are (in no order):

Fresh Prince
Martin
King of Queens
Married With Children
Curb Your Enthusiasm

the episode when Arthur was banging Spence's mom because she was the maid. But when she got fired he was done with her. One of my favorite episodes.

I don't.....

KJ has it all as a comedic actor; physical comedy, funny voices, he's fat.


Leah Remini is so goddamn fine throughout this show, she's funny as hell too. Carrie is so evil.


The theme song is the fucking shit, too

"...you're doing the Dougie, I'd rather do the Doug Heffernan...big crib, hot wife...and I'm the author in the basement, nice"

I never really got the sense that it was unique enough in the genre to warrant doing the extra work of going back and watching it in earnest.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts..." -The Bard

I still sit and watch the re-reuns on tv land


great show
