No love for the short lived Out all Night and South Central
Sister sister was wack
Moesha ehh
Mr Cooper was aight
Family Matters was ehhh
i mean i watched all of them Family matters probably the most of them but i wouldnt put them in my favorite black shoes ever
Everybody Hates Chris was funny as ? as well as the Bernie Mac show but they seemed to play with these shows by moving hem around.. Especially Everybody Hates Chris.. from my memory -
No My Wife and Kids, Smart Guy, Malcolm and Eddie, Parent Hood and In The House. It should have been the top 30 and what was Julia?

I'd rather watch the Golden girls than friends, Sophia>>>>
List seems pretty accurate, probably would put the Jeffersons higher but 6 ain't bad -
When i was a senior in high school, we were asked by our teacher to write and talk about our favorite show. everybody was saying martin, in living color, fresh prince. I said home improvement and the conversation came to a screeching halt. I said "what? that show's good." and they just stared. mouths open. I wasnt embarrassed. but i learned that i wasnt a typical Black man.

My list :
-Good Times
-Family Matters
-Soul Food
-A Different World
-Moesha
-South Central
-My Brother and Me (can't remember if that's what it was called, I didn't watch it or South Central until a few years ago when I found them on youtube)
-Sparks
-Thea
-Smart Guy
-Sister, Sister
-The Parenthood
I might be missing some. No particular order but the last two are probably the weakest. I never liked the Cosby Show. I watched Fresh Prince at one point but it's boring to me now. Same with the Jamie Foxx show and the Steve Harvey Show but Fresh Prince is better than both of them. The Wayans Bros. and Fat Albert were all right but I can't see myself watching them now. Aside from Soul Food I can't think of any 2000s or 2010s black sitcom that I really like.
There used to be this site online called urban entertainment that had these cartoon mini sitcoms, I don't know who made them. I miss that. -
How can Sanford and Son not be on this list?

Boondocks is great but idk if i consider it a sitcom -
What about my brother and me

I know people like to hate on The Game for some reason, but it should be on the list.

It was cool when it was about a black woman trying to navigate the world of sports management. A world that was very hostile and male domainated. Then the ? jjust became another soap opera and as a result, garbage. The Games fall off was ugly to see. -

It was fine when it was on CW for the first 3 seasons.Back when Malik and Tee Tee were the comic relievers -
Martin will always be number 1 for me.

It was decent for the first 3 seasons,but BET tried turning it into the black version of Entourage and I mean discount clones like
Tee Tee being Turtle
Jason being Johnny Drama
Tasha Mack being Ari Gold

Yea, Smart Guy was a good show. Parent Hood shouldve been wack, but was always watchable.
In The House was better when they got rid of Debbie Allen and the nerdy boy, and refocused on LL, Maia Cambell, Carlton and Kim Wayans.
Remember when they premiered the music video for LL's "Phenomenon" after an episode of In the House and all it was was LL molesting ? through a fish-eye lens? Rofl...
