Put me in the "MASH is the most overrated sitcom" camp...never thought it was funny...maybe a generational thing?

* Not sure if Flight Of The Conchords is technically a sit com, if not, sub in Seinfeld.

 
I'm just going to my childhood and what I used to watch and love. It's not going to be anyone else's Mt Rushmore and I'm not saying these are the best sitcoms ever, but they are the ones that I think of.

The Cosby Show

Family Ties

Friends

The Jeffersons

Honorable Mentions -- Who's the Boss and Everybody Loves Raymond

if this was a line up of the best PopTart flavors - "Who's The Boss" would be the unfrosted rhubarb Toast'em.

Oh, come on!

 
the #### Van Dyke Show - This show made me want to grow up to be funny. And marry Mary Tyler Moore.

Soap - First time I felt like I was watching comic genius and not simply comedy.

It's Gary Shandling's Show - Layers of complex creativity disguised as simple silliness.

Arrested Development - Narrator: It was the pinnacle of all television.

 
The Office, Seinfeld, Cheers, and Big Bang Theory.

The nearby Crazy Horse type secondary monument:

Scrubs, The League, Silicon Valley, and The Simpsons.

I totally forgot about this one.  It was awesome for a few seasons before it got played out.

Haven't seen shandling show mentioned a lot in here.  Extremely rewatchable.

For those with HBO ...or looking for a reason to get HBO for a few months - the entire series is on there.

MTM the first woman on television who looked good in pants.

 
Also it should be noted that although not a sitcom in the traditional sense, Batman circa 1966 certainly fits the bill in my book. Although I'm sure Bob Kane and Christopher Nolan would like everyone to forget that particular delve into SPLATTY doofiness.
But as luck would have it, (depending on your time zone) today the 17th is National Batman Day. I got to spend the day watching my DVD Box set with my 14 Year old Bat-Buddy shouting our punching sound effects with glee (much to Mrs Simsarge's eye rolling chagrin). Couldn't get him to show me his best Batusi tho.
 
Wow, I feel the need to include one old timey show in my list and what I’m going to put in isn’t mentioned once, neither favorably or unfavorably. I blame my parents if it is somehow looked down upon, but of all the classics from that era this one made young me laugh the most and even provided certain references I still use to this day:

The Beverly Hillbillies (pre-color)
Cheers/Frasier (can’t decide right now, but one of these 2 is on the mountain)
The Simpsons
The Office

Tons of honorable mentions available, liked the suggestion by someone for Crazy Horse statue nearby for all these options. But to make the mountain, for me, it’s not the funniest necessarily but impact to how it’s done. Also, Friends is trash and Curb rendered Seinfeld unwatchable
 
Cheers

Seinfeld

Curb Your Enthusiasm

The Office

There are very few others that I like even a little. I wonder if we’ll ever see a sitcom as unique & brilliant as The Office again.
 
I truly love sitcoms, so many difficult choices here. I'll go:

Andy Griffith Show (black and white only)
Parks and Rec
Seinfeld
The Office
 
Seinfeld
Cheers
2-1/2 Men
Modern Family


ETA: There are a few that don't belong in the "best" conversation but they crack me up every time I watch an episode. They include Last Man Standing, Rules of Engagement, & The New Adventures of Old Christine.

The big 3 for me are carved in granite (yes pun intended) no brainers. The 4th could be any number of shows imo.

Seinfeld

The Office

Cheers
