What's the first sitcom you remember watching?

I love Lucy.

I remember watching Bewitched in afternoon reruns. I always missed the end because my mom would make me go with her to pick up my brother from school. I was probably like 3 or 4.

Around that same time, I would run screaming from the room during the opening of That Girl. My brother told me she was a witch and was coming to get me.

Probably Family Ties. I hated it. I was so happy when my family stopped watching it. That family was a bunch of loserz

Probably The Andy Griffith Show in reruns.

Bewitched, Thursday nights, ABC

I don't remember the first one I saw that was in prime time, not in reruns. I remember watching Ther Lucy Show, I remember the one with Peggy Cass with the three monkeys, I remember Grindl, with Imogene Coca (Lasted maybe one season) and My Favorite Martian and Bewitched, and Ozzie and Harriet. But I also liked a lot of variety shows, which were very big then, too (why don't they have them, any more?).

All in the Family or MASH. Not sure which.

Not a sitcom, but Star Trek.

Happy Days.

I Dream of Jennie, Bewitched, I Love Lucy, That Girl, My Favorite Martian, Gilligan's Island, that's about all we had to chose from back then if not the news or cartoons. Or that really depressing one, Family Affair. Fail to see how that was a sit com but it had a laugh track and Mr. French so two men living together could not be all that bad.

Probably I Love Lucy reruns

My Three Sons.

And, Alice.

"The Munsters" and "The Addams Family." Born 1956.

The People’s Choice, with an actor named Jackie Cooper and a basset hound named Cleo

My Little Margie

December Bride

Leave it to Beaver

All American Girl, Dharma and Greg, Wings, Third Rock, Roseanne (before and after lottery), Grace Under Fire. Couldn’t pick 1, sorry.

Hazel.

Oh, yeah--someone reminded me. I loved The Addams Family, loved the Munsters. The Jetsons, and The Flintstones.

The Beverly Hillbillies - 1962

R14, I didn’t remember those until you mentioned them but you dredged them from my early memory. We are old.

The Brady Bunch

I think My Three Sons. It was in syndication by then and shown on late weekday mornings. I thought William Demarest was a riot.

I remember December Bride (which I liked, as a kid) but only in reruns, and it was probably at least 10 years old, by then. I also watched Father Knows Best in reruns; it was on around lunch time on one of the networks, and I'd watch it with my mom when I came home for lunch. Also, the Loretta Young Show, at times, but that wasn't a sitcom (it was an anthology).

I never liked William Demarest as Uncle Charlie, I always missed "Bub" (William Frawley). Then when it was in color, that red hair with the bangs was awful. Years later I grew to love William Demarest in Preston Sturges comedies.

Me too, OP. I was in love with Gilligan.

The Andy Griffith Show

My nasty older sister tried to get me to believe Mrs Mrs Howell was thenCasey Puppet on Mr Dressup

When I first moved to the U.S as a 6 tear old in the mid 80s, the shows I grew up on (and learned english thanks to) are, in no particular order: Gilligan's Island, The Dating Game, The Bionic Women, The Brady Bunch and Three's Company.

Those were the shows that constantly aired during that time.

My Little Margie

December Bride

R14 Did we live in the same house?

Brady bunch or I love Lucy.

I Love Lucy reruns. Then Brady Bunch and Bewitched reruns.

You couldn't escape Bewitched reruns. Or Love American Style at one time in the 70s.

Live TV show? Had to be Sonny and Cher - but it's not a sitcom.

We were in bed by 8pm - I don't recall being awake long enough to watch evening TV until was 8 or so? 8pm to 10:30pm were my parents' time. And Saturday mornings - hence Saturday morning cartoons from 7am-11am.

Anyone else remember reruns of “Topper” with Anne Jeffries, Richard Sterling and Leo G. Carrol? Or any of Ann Sotherns sitcoms? I liked the one with Zasu Pitts!

Reruns of The Brady Bunch and The Monkees

R33 - ah yes, the Monkees. I remember thinking how long ago that show seemed to have been filmed - but it was probably 10 years earlier?

Same for the Partridge Family, and I think that was filmed after the Monkees.

Oh - and the Beverly Hillbillies was played a lot.

I also remember watching the Odd Couple, but it was too adult for me. Above are all RERUNS - not live TV primetime for me.

Loved The Monkees. Everyone said my older brother was a larger version of Davey Jones.

R16, you only watched one of those first. You must mean that you can't remember which one it was.

Just Shoot Me. I would watch it while waiting for The Simpsons to air. We only had 13 channels.

The Beverly Hillbillies.

The Flintstones.

Just because it was a cartoon doesn't mean it wasn't a sitcom!

Excepting reruns, probably the Brady Bunch. Then, maybe, the Partridge Family? I like the Brady Bunch way more though.

The Partridge Family always had to sing a stupid dubbed song. Got so irritated with Shirley Jones smiling and pivoting her head as she sand LA LA la la . Yes they used her voice but...
