Greatest Ever US Sitcoms Round 1 - 3rd Rock From the Sun vs The Office

[Bjornebye]

Ok I've whittled it down to 16. I took a while thinking about it , was going to do 32 but loads are seriously shit and its not worth it. 

 

Any moaning about your favourite missing, tough fucking shit. As its the first one, please post your favourite incase I have missed any blindingly obvious ones. I have left out animated on purpose. 

 

Poll for this tie will close at 2pm tomorrow.

3rd Rock for me. I always compare the American Office to the UK one and it isn't a scratch on it. I do like Steve Carrell though. 

 

3rd Rock was fantastic. 

[Sugar Ape]

The Office is miles better, though I did like 3rd rock from the sun back in the day. 

[Tony Moanero]

Unfortunately, I’ll have to sit this one out, as I’ve not seen either.

 

The Wonder Years

Happy Days

The Munsters

The Adams Family

M*A*S*H

The Goldbergs

3rd Rock From The Sun is on the list of 16 best American sitcoms?

Its comedy sitcoms. M*A*S*H is in. 

 

I love The Wonder Years but its not a comedy.

It is in my opinion. It is according to IMDb and wikipedia, too. Fair enough, though, up to you.

I think both are very good and actually thought The US Office was way better than the British one,but John Lithgow is ace and the series itself reminded meof a good time in my life (not to mention Lithgow being a bit of a Red's fan) make me vote for 3rd Rock.

Did the US version of Men Behaving Badly starring Rob Schneider make it in?

The British one was bad enough.

I've looked at this four times now and I still can't see It's Only Sunny In Philadelphia. 

[Nunavut Patrick]

All in the Family.

 

3rd Rock is ace. 
 

The Office I could only watch about five minutes of and if the fit girl wasn’t in that five minutes it was less.

 

And Shatner had a reoccurring role in 3rd Rock.

[cloggypop]

And where the fuck is Taxi? 

 

Stig just can't abide Danny de Vito.

Ill let that play the winner of the whole thing. Lets see if it deserved its place.

[Thoth]

Fuck misread the title and voted the office, didn’t realise it was the US version, 3rd rock for me so cancel my office vote 

[cloggypop]

No Larry Sanders, no Garry Shandling. This poll is a disgrace. 

[KMD7]

No contest. The Office

Not sure I can vote now that’s It’s always sunny isn’t in it. It’s a top 2/3 sitcom at a minimum. How the fuck isn’t that in it but How I met your mother is?

[JohnnyH]

I didn't read the question properly.  Thought it meant UK Office.  Would have gone 3rd rock had I known it was the US version.  I apologise profusely.  Self flagellation has begun.
