All '80s-'90s American 22-minute sitcoms with at least 1,000 votes.
- I'd like to mention that this list doesn't include animated shows, non-American shows, and sketch or talk comedies. Only American 22-minute sitcoms and comedy shows that can be classified as sitcoms are considered. Please note that this list may not be entirely accurate, as I'm not sure if all the shows listed here belong, or if I have missed adding some.
- The list is ranked from the highest number of episodes to the lowest number of episodes.
I did the best I could with this list, and I hope you enjoy it.
