Friends? Bob Newhart? ALF? Scrubs?

What is the greatest 30 minute sitcom? In the spirit of March Madness, Rambling Morons in cooperation with Season 1 Podcast is hoping to find out.

Every few days, we’ll be releasing a bracket divided by decade. Tonight, we start with the 1970’s a decade featuring the golden era of the laugh track sitcom (filmed in front of a live studio audience, naturally.)

Follow us at @season1pod to vote for each of the eight matchups.

We will also be posting a podcast handicapping each region as well as the results. (We’ll also continue our look at Freaks and Geeks, don’t worry.)

So now’s a great time to subscribe to our podcast, follow us on Twitter, and start voting!!

Here we go – voting will be open for 2 days.
