Anyone remember Doctor Doctor? It starred a very young Matt Frewer, AKA Max Headroom.
Also, there was a show that got maybe one season, it was called Davis Rules, with Randy Quaid and Jonathan Winters. It was pretty funny. Then again, I was about 10 or 11 when it came out, so it also might have been pretty bad.

I'd consider this a 90s sitcom (which never failed to get a laugh out of me) -- Perfect Strangers, Night Court...
I do have a question though -- the German Big Bundy Box (the only collection of the series thus far) -- does it have the original Sinatra opening? And for all the seasons? (I've seen SONY's re-take once their license expired... just feels weird.)

Newhart? How do you even remember that show?!
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis. Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.
Most of the sitcoms I remember most fondly seem to be shows that started or mostly ran in the nineties. Fresh Prince of Belair, Family Matters, Friends, Dinosaurs, Married with Children, etc. Those shows are still kind of fun to watch now, but I don't remember too many eighties shows. I was probably too young to remember any that I may have seen and I was probably spending more time watching cartoons, which really played a large part in defining that time period for me(Transformers, Thundercats, GI Joe, Silver Hawks, Voltron, Go Bots, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, etc)
A lot of the nineties stuff I've seen holds up well, especially Married with Children. That show is still hilarious and Al Bundy is just a cultural icon in my eyes. Another nineties show I loved was Boy meets World, which was actually pretty shitty until Cory went to high school. From that point on the show became awesome because it stopped being this nauseatingly cutesy show about a bunch of little kids. Now they were cool high school kids and the show stopped being cutesy and became funnier. I can still watch episodes from the high school to college years now and enjoy them
I don't really watch any modern sitcoms oddly enough, but I'll occasionally watch a Seinfeld episode when it's on because I wasn't really a Seinfeld viewer during its original run on tv. I also LOVE watching That 70s Show reruns. That show is hilarious. Aside from that, I don't much care for sitcoms anymore. I like serious drama in my tv and if I want to laugh I'll listen to stand up or watching something animated like Futurama. Comedy just isn't must see tv for me anymore, but good dramas and sci fi shows are
