"To celebrate an artform that continues to be an inexhaustible source of joy after more than 70 years of media omnipresence, we've looked over the history of sitcoms and compiled a ranking of the 30 greatest of all time — with rankings based on a combination of sheer craftsmanship, influence and innovation, cultural iconicity, and, of course, density of laughs. To make our lives easier, we followed a few ground rules: Straight, unambiguous sitcoms only (so no sketch-only shows and no dramedies, much as we love 'Fleabag' and 'Atlanta'); English-language only (not because non-English sitcoms can't be incredible, but because there are simply too many of them to cover with any fairness); live-action only. Otherwise, all is fair game here, from the format-defining to the format-breaking to everything in between." - slashfilm.com
