Oh crash, how could you ruin your great list with Two and a Half Men? That show is pure smut with the same ol half assed sexual innuendos. Wait, i guess they have that 10 year old kid saying them sometimes. Besides its on about 20 times a day

Some of these I don't get to see very often because they are on cable but they are anyway:

Sanford and Son
Seinfeld
Barbeque U With Steven Raichlen
Judge Judy
The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross

Love that show. Casually though, not an every episode kind of show like Walker and Seinfeld.

I enjoy Weeds, Futurama, and Law And Order SVU.

Okay then, I'll let it slide. This time.

Sanford and Son was the American equivalent of my favourite sit com of all time 'Steptoe and Son'. I don't think I could bear to see what they did with the show

It finished here in 1974 and I think your version was not long after that?

Sanford and Son started in January 1972 and finished up in 1977.

Well that's is an interesting little bit of info. I'll have to go to youtube and see if I can dig one up and watch it. Looks like your version was the original, it was made way before Sanford and Son.

Yeah Sanford & Son was definitely the remake of the original. I never saw it though so I can't compare the two, but usually American remakes of British sitcoms completely fail which may say something for the quality of this one.

First Steptoe and Son episode was in 1962. It's remarkable propensity for pathos still puts it head and shoulders above sitcoms still now. A remarkable sit com. I can and have sat and watched episode after episode.

So, we aren't the only place in the world that plays Two and a Half Men about 293812983876 times a day?! I'm so sick of that show. It really is just half-assed sexual innuendos and bad jokes that are supposed to be cute because a kid is saying them.

Edit: 1000 posts, w00t!
