Quiz: Can you name the US sitcoms with the most episodes?

If you want a tough quiz, then this should fit the bill nicely, I only got 14/50, and that still bettered the average score.

Haven't looked at the quiz, but 'I Love Lucy' seemed to be on for ever.

That's what I thought, but it's not on the list, told you it was tough.

American Office, 201 episodes.
UK Office, 12 episodes and 2 specials.
The Americans really know how to milk a show until it dies.

It's a Canadian sitcom. Not having a go at you at all but it's a general misconception that a large number of Canadian actors are American because of the accent. There's a load of Canadians who wrongly get labelled 'American'. Donald Sutherland, Ryan Reynolds, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, John Candy, Mike Myers, Jim Carrey etc

Maybe it didn't count as a comedy because it isn't funny?

Yes that surprised me as well, only 172 episodes so it didn't make the cut.

If folks want some help think animation. :)

Correct! I've only seen the odd episode of The Simpsons, and yet I regularly watch both American Dad and Family Guy, I guess it's all down to personal taste.
