I'm not a huge fan of the sitcoms now but in the past I would have considered: Gilligans Island, Threes Company, Happy Days, The Monkees, The Andy Griffith Show, MASH (pretty funny sometimes), Mork and Mindy, Taxi, Cheers, Frasier, I Love Lucy, and the Carol Burnett show (although that wasn't really a sitcom but hilarious none the same), then later Roseanne, Cosby Show/Different World, Seinfeld, Friends, Will and Grace, and at first I didn't mind Everybody hates Chris.
But the "best" ones where definitely the first few, I actually missed them when they went off the air. The newer ones to me aren't funny anymore! IMHO

The sitcoms do differ from era to era, vary much so.
The best written I believe is a British show called "To the Manner Born", by a very long way. Every episode of season one was memorable and delightful.
In this country, if I had to choose only one, I'd go by the normative nature of the person it was about--there's no real value other than discontexted one-liner laughs at somebody's expense where the show's about someone with categorical Medieval character flaws like being compulsive, nasty, incompetent, etc. So I have to go back a long way to when shows were written about human adults,; the most memorable to me was "Topper" that starred Leo G. Carroll as a banker, Lee Patrick as his conventional wife and Robert Sterling and his wife Anne Jeffreys as a pair of madcap ghosts who haunt his life; and they always had a maid who was frightened all the time, the second played by beautiful Edna Skinner, and a ghost St. Bernard named Neil, who drank a little too much. of course there was Clarence Kolb as his irascible boss also.

Hm... I think that the best modern sitcom is "Drake & Josh". It never fails to make me laugh, even when I'm having a bad day.
I think that the best sitcom ever is "Full House". Yes, it's corny, but it's also a terrific, hilarious show for viewers of any age.
