40's/50's: Lucy
60's: Andy Griffith
70's: All in the Family
80's: Cheers
90's: Seinfeld
2000's: I like Raymond as a straight laugh track style sitcom. Others have mentioned many of my favorites such as Arrested Development. But as I said, I consider those to be a different animal.
I'd put Get a Life ahead of Seinfeld in the 90s. I'd put Taxi ahead of Cheers in the 80s.
