Last great sitcom?
No wrong answers.
shareThe last great sitcoms all started in the 1970s, and were gone by the early 1980s:
1) M*A*S*H
2) Welcome Back, Kotter
3) Taxi
4) WKRP in Cincinnati
Starting with the 1980s, sitcoms became far too self-aware, self-regarding, and self-satisfied: just an over-all vibe of "Nobody's more cool than us!"
I Love Lucy
It’s been all downhill since then.
Seinfeld
Living Single
Friends
Frasier is the latest once I've seen and liked. Just never got into any newer ones. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I should add my two cents. Newest sitcom I loved, it got cancelled. The great indoors. It was just getting good near the end of the first season. Then, poof...gone.

You can argue whether to call it great or not. It's basically Friends 2.0. However, you can safely say that as a minimum, it's extremely good. No sitcom has come close to that level since then. There were many great sitcoms before HIMYM, not a single one after it.
Might have to agree with you there.
shareI was going to say HIMYM it was well done up to the last season anyway. I think it stands up well against the older classic sitcoms too, even beats some of them.
