20 Hilarious & Heartfelt Sitcoms You Must Watch

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MMM chapter.

There is nothing like an entertaining situational comedy television show to put you in a good mood and make you laugh. Over the past few decades there have been countless funny and endearing sitcoms. This genre of television is a comedy that revolves around a common environment that the characters frequent such as a home, coffee shop, workplace or bar. This dominant narrative form of TV has become crown jewels for the major television networks. Hit sitcoms have launched the successful careers of numerous actors and comedians.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end and sometimes our fave sitcoms are ripped from their usual time slot and end up descending into obscurity. Just because shows are off the air doesn’t mean that they should be written off. There are plenty worth revisiting (or watching for the first time!) I’ve compiled 20 hilarious and heartfelt sitcoms that you must watch if you haven’t already:

1) The King of Queens

2) Friends

3) Everybody Loves Raymond

4) Married With Children

5) Yes, Dear

6) The Nanny

7) Full House

8) Cheers

9) I Love Lucy

10) Seinfeld

11) How I Met Your Mother

12) Roseanne

13) Fraiser

14) The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

15) The Golden Girls

16) 8 Simple Rules

17) Will & Grace

18) Two and a Half Men

19) What I Like About You

20) Who’s The Boss?
