Last Man Standing 2011-2021
I chose Cheers becasue the romance plots and over character development. Ted Danson is really stand out as the main characters and manages to hold the cast together.
Frasier also contains the same level of complex charaters along with throwing in some twists like having the man be a gold diggers. Also the brothers being highly educated compared to the cop dad made their relationship with their father is one of the best parts of the show.
Home Imporvement is becasue Tool Time bits always where funny and Wilson's advice always added something serious to the show. This is all on top of decent plotlines and good characters especially the different brothers.
Last Man Standing bearly made the list to be honest. Overall the strength of the frist seasons overpower the downward slip of the show after it moved networks. But not only does it charaters and family stand out it is about the only sitcom 9 have seen that does show true conservatives in a good light. A nice change of pace from Hollywood.
The last is a pick that many may not agree with. Overall Big Bang Theory is a great show. It has long running plot lines, decent charater development and makes some funny jokes. It is a modern coming of age story that takes into acount that many grad school and older college students are basically teenagers. At the start of the show the guys are mianly living the geek dream of comic cons and not stop gaming sessions. But as yhe show goes on we see them grow and start to have real romantic relationships and see hl2 that changes your priorities.
I know lots of people say the characters are just dumb stereotypes and they are to a certain extent. But the big thing is they are no worse then anyother show does to a jock, popular girl, punk, ext. Personally I knew people like each lf the main characters in school and even after. The main reason that you see a lot of scorn for the show in geeker places online is that unlike the popular cheerleader this stereotype hit closer to home to a lot of people.
So a good show that ended with a complete story of the core group growing up even if every storyline was not a happy ending.
