I'm really liking Last Man Standing right now as it is pretty much a glimpse into my future about 16 years from now.
 
Hell if yall are considering cartoons sitcoms then Archer is easily at the top of my list.
 
it's like, Married is WAAAY up there, and everything else is somehwere down. Fawlty is high brow, refined comedy, but nothing makes you laugh like a retard the way Married does. Besides, i'm not sure it qualifies as sitcom in the first place.

I've started watching Parks and Rec on Netflix. I'm on episode 4 still waiting for anything, anything, something to be funny. At this point, I'm rather confused at how this show made it past an initial 6 episode pilot run..

Fight through Season 1, it will be worth it. Starting with Season 2, Parks & Rec really gets its feet under it. When Rob Lowe becomes a main character, the show gets the boost it needs to become a classic.

My List:
Parks & Rec (seasons 2-6)
Coach
Three's Company (Here, let me date myself, again)
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (I am just starting Season 2, but I laughed my ass off through Season 1)
Eastbound and Down
Newsradio
Seinfeld
Modern Family
(In no particular order)

Honorable Mention goes to:
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (Through Season 7)
The League (The whole cast phoned it in during the last season, though)

If we include animated series:
1 - Archer
2 - South Park (Seasons 1-12~ and 18-20)
3 - Teen Titans Go!

I never could get Cheers, Frasier or The Simpsons. I think I can see what people like about them but other than Woody Harrelson's "♫Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.....♫" I don't think I laughed out loud through any of them.

I reserve the right to edit and update this list as I remember back through my 40+ years of TV viewing.

Seinfeld is nothing but annoying. From the 5 second jingles between scenes right down to the man's way of speaking. Kramer's acting is too.
 
There's lots of them but here's some top class sitcoms:

Fawlty Towers
Bottom
Only Fools and Horses
Black Adder
Seinfeld
Cheers
Absolutely Fabulous
Dads Army
Father Ted
It Ain't Half Hot Mum
One Foot in the Grave
Red Dwarf
 
Married With Children is most definitely #1 I don't know how I didn't even think of that on my list.

Modern Family is also great for a somewhat recent show. But nothing is as offensive on regular TV as MWC was back in the day.

This. Tried to enjoy it but just couldn't get into it.

Edit: Oh, and Blackadder and Red Dwarf are indeed great 😀
 
If we're strictly going by funniest, then for me I'd say the Top Five is:

Seinfeld
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Arrested Development
The IT Crowd
The League
