Three's Company Andy Griffith Show I Love Lucy Beverly Hillbillies Happy Days honorable mention Killin It
Sanford and son Good times Cheers All in the family It’s always sunny in Philadelphia Honorable mention: Curb your enthusiasm

Popular Zeitgeist in the 70's was really gritty and urban. Or it was honkey-tonk, and also gritty. Nobody cut their hair or their beards. Everyone smoked. It was a dirty time and a low, crime-filled time in NYC, ripe for stories.

In no particular order... The Simpsons MASH The Office Parks and Rec Ted Lasso Honorable Mention: HIMYM, King of the Hill, Seinfeld, Newsradio (up to Phil Hartman's death).
