I was making out a list of workplace comedies such as NewsRadio, Wings, Cheers, Working, etc. I was wondering if I should include The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show. Are those shows considered workplace comedies since half the time the characters are at home?:confused:

I'm not sure about Dick Van Dyke, but MTM should definitely be included.

1. Taxi
2. WRKP in Cincinnati
3. I Dream of Jeannie
4. Get Smart
5. Adam 12
6. Dragnet
7. Emergency
8. The Facts of Life (Edna's Edibles and Over Our Heads)
9. The Bob Newhart Show
10. Barney Miller

You could also say:
1. Love Boat
2. The Job
3. Archie Bunker's Place
4. Gloria
5. Good Morning, Miami
6. Golden Palace
Brian, I never thought of Love Boat! Never thought of it as workplace comedy, but it's on a place of work...and it's a comedy!
