I agree on The Honeymooners being funny.
The Larry David Show is fairly good.
Now, I might be the only one that thought Seinfeld wasn't all that funny. In fact, both Seinfeld and Friends are good depictions of what I like to refer to as the vacant 90s. All in the Family was very good and O'Connor and Stapleton both did a wonderful job. The spin offs Maude and The Jeffersons also broke new ground dealing with feminism and mixed marriage respectively. All three of the shows had a more significant and deeper impact than the trite pablum of the 1990s. Though the subject matter wasn't funny, MASH was another great show of the 70s. The episode without the laugh track is particularly poignant.
O'Connor, despite depicting and appearing as a bumbling sort of character, was actually quite erudite and held a BA in English and an MA in Speech. BTW, he was a left winger that supported liberal causes throughout his life.
