Top 5 Classic Comedies

I love old TV shows, love them especially those classic comedies. My cousins still talk about how when my family didn’t have cable I would come to their house and watch TV Land and Nick at Nite non stop. I would record the shows on VHS tapes and take them home and watch them over and over again. So I thought I’d share with you my Top 5 Classic Comedies and see what yours are.

Top 5 Classic Comedies- Love, Pasta and a Tool Belt

1. I Love Lucy– I mean does it get any funnier than Lucille Ball? I love watching the seasons of this show because it’s classic comedy and before everything on television got so PG-13. I mean Lucy and Ricky sleep in separate beds for half the seasons, ha ha. Lucy is always coming up with a ridiculous plan and Ethel is always going along with it, I love their friendship and I love this show.

2. I Dream Of Jeanie– Growing up I wanted to decorate my room like the inside of Jeanie’s bottle. That never happened but a girl can dream right? I go through phases and right now I’m in a watch Jeanie every morning while I eat breakfast. I love this show. Jeanie is always getting Major Nelson into trouble and trying to make him marry her. It’s always got me laughing.

3. Bewitched– Do you sense a theme here? First a Jeanie now a witch. Bewitched is another classic that keeps me laughing. I love how Samantha tries to not use her powers but it always seems she is using it or her mother is driving her too it. And poor Mrs. Kravitz, the woman is always on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

4. The Andy Griffith Show– This is Tyler’s all time favorite show and just recently I have began to see why it is. It’s so funny. Have you ever noticed how in the first season Andy is the funny, goofy one and Barney is the normal one then they switch in the second season and beyond. My husband pointed that out to me and said it was because Andy Griffith thought it would play better that way and I think he was right.

5. Petticoat Junction– I really want to find all of these on dvd. I loved this show. Come and ride a little train that is rolling down the track to the junction, Petticoat Junction. If you can’t tell I love these corny comedies. They are classics and I miss good shows like these.

I could probably go on and on but I will stop here with my top 5 and leave some room for you guys to tell me what’s your favorite classic comedy? Or are you not a fan of the older shows? I can’t wait to hear what you guys think or what shows you love.

    I LOVE the first four. I’ve never seen Petticoat Junction but I know my parents loved it back in the day! My 5 year old would watch Andy Griffith with me while the younger ones took a nap. He thought it was hilarious…especially Barney! One that’s older but not in my classification of “classic” is Saved By The Bell. They dealt with a lot of issues in very sensitive ways. I also enjoyed Boy Meets World and Family Matters a ton as a kid! Oh, and of course Home Improvement!

    Agree, but would love have to put The Beverly Hillbillies as a tie with Petticoat Junction. Why can’t TV be like these shows anymore?

    Oh girlie! You and I totally agree. Doesn’t get any better than I Love Lucy! I actually have a future post about her. Luvin from DBB but you already know I’m a fan! πŸ™‚

    I love all these TV show posts you’re doing πŸ™‚ Aren’t we a bunch of couch potatoes? πŸ™‚ HOW did we survive without Netflix all these years? My parents own all the Andy Griffith show on DVD and it’s such a refreshing thing to watch. Clean, great morals and lessons and nobody is funnier than Don Knotts. πŸ™‚ Great post!

      Haha I know it certainly sounds that way. But a girls gotta watch something while blogging right? I know what did we do before Netflix? And Andy Griffith is so refreshing, my kids will be watching it one day for sure.

    I had all (and I mean ALL) of the I Love Lucy series on VHS. I used to watch it for hours on end as a kid- I just idolized Lucy. Whenever I see an episode on TV now, I have to stop and watch it.

    And here I am at another TV post of yours, couldn’t help myself. I’ve always had mixed feeling about I Love Lucy. I like the actual show but with having the name “Lucy” everyone and I mean everyone thought it was super fun to quote the lines from the shows to me all the time. It got very old. Luckily, not as many people are familiar with that show anymore and it rarely happens anymore.
    I like all the other shows except I’ve never seen Petticoat Junction. I was (am) a big fan of the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

      I do love my TV posts πŸ™‚ Oh yeah I can imagine that would get old. I’ve not seen a lot of Mary Tyler Moore but I have liked what I’ve seen!

    I loved Petticoat Junction! In fact, all of them were regulars in my household as a child.
    Recently, I have rediscovered Full House. It shows on late night TV and we watch several episodes in a row every night!
    Thanks for the memories!

    These were good, I did a list similar to this I listed all the the shows I grew up with from the 70’s. You left out the best one The Honey Mooners who can forget “Alice one of these days bam zoom”

    All the above shows are great Petticoat Junction and Bewitched were two of my all time favorites growing up.
    A few more I liked were My Three Sons, My Favorite Martian and The Nanny And The Professor.
