Phoebe's all-knowing nod in the background slays me.
"Obviously. Yes. The point is MOO." Joey has some great lines/moments though he's definitely my least favorite Friend (eh, it is between him and Monica)
I hated early seasons of Joey and Rachel but both found their groove as the show aged and became my favorites.
Ross is pretty much only funny as a victim and is a horrible human being.
Monica went from endearing to insane.
Phoebe was pretty steady the whole way.
Either you love Chandler or you hate him. His humor probably aged the worst. (Maybe early Joey beats him out there.)
Where are Good Times, The Jeffersons, A Different World, Sanford and Son, Martin, The Boondocks, Roc...
I kinda think for this stuff Cheers should've been the oldest show. (Actually, I would've understood Cheers not being in this since Frasier already is.) Comedy frequently doesn't age well. Also, a lot of people who participate in this weren't watching TV in the 80's.

Edit: and I think I Love Lucy is just a different thing than the modern sitcom. The physical comedy may hold up but the rest of it maybe not so much.

Interesting - I don't see Ross as a horrible human being at all. I find him quite funny, but certainly neurotic.
Monica in earlier seasons was great and then they absolutely made her go insane, idk why. Once she was married to Chandler, her character had been assassinated IMO.
I'm in the "love Chandler" camp and sorta blame Monica's later season shittiness for how he went downhill then, too.

Excellent rebound survivor, Nap Bands lost its juice when you losers caved to Sufjan pressure.
Big Bang maybe the easiest first round choice of all time.
i think the survivors that get the most activity are the ones that present options a lot of people have strong opinions on. which is why the drive thru survivor was so epic, because everybody has eaten plenty of fast food in their lives.
nap band was a great idea, but since i personally didn't care that much about most of those acts i didn't participate much. as opposed to the jamband one i had strong opinions on so i was all up in there. but again jambands aren't for everyone.
not a criticism of Teddy Flair or the secret survivor committee at all, who do a great job with these. not every survivor has to be for the masses.

I could live with the Cheers cutoff, but even then, A Different World premiered five years after Cheers, Martin premiered 10 years after Cheers, Living Single in '93, Family Matters in '89, and Boondocks in 2005.
I agree with snoke that it's not about including Black-led shows just for representation's sake, but any of those (I haven't watched Martin in a long, long time, but it was culturally significant when it was on) deserve inclusion on some combo of merit and/or pop culture clout, IMO.

the cosby show???
I left that off because of the ick factor that comes with watching it now given what we know. But, if we were totally isolating the art from the artist, then yeah.

I've only really watched liked 3-4 of these and have seen some episodes of 3-4 more 😬. I don't watch much TV but I'll watch the winner of this survivor, so choose wisely!
Obviously this stuff is all just for giggles and fun, but Diffrent Strokes was almost assuredly my favorite sitcom as a kid.
And i can specifically remember the old Thursday night lineup where I was full send on Cosbys but thought Cheers was kind of mid. I say that in illustrating the point that this isn't my own revisionist history to align with virtue in the current climate - I genuinely gravitated to those shows as a kid.
yeah im not convinced this one should stick around more than another round or two. it is cute--but that's about it. i'd never choose to sit down and watch it now, and never really did tbh.

I wrote a love letter to Jodie Sweetin when I was in 4th grade. Her performing a dance routine to a knockoff Love Shack at Telethon '90 was peak crush for lil ol' Potent. I watched every episode waiting for her to say "how rude" and then I would laugh like a lunatic. I was 9...

I'm not sure why the other ones that you named didn't make the list but personally, I only watched two of them enough to form opinions and neither would've jumped into a top ten list for me.
I'm not sure that cultural significance is as important for this though. Will and Grace, Ellen, the Simpsons, the Flintstones, etc. would both make that cut but I'm not sure are necessarily remembered for being funny. (Edit: Except for the Simpsons, obv.)
I think Boondocks being an animated show makes it a difficult fit with this list, along with the Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, King of the Hill, etc. We could probably do a whole one just on animated shows, TBH.
