I would say:

Green Acres
Leave it to Beaver
Dennis The Menace ( the episodes with the first Mr Wilson)
Beverley Hillbillies
Bewitched
I Dream of Jeanie
My Favorite Martian
Munsters
The Dick Van Dyke Show
Andy Griffiths ( up to the Barney Fife era)
Honorable mention Lost In Space not a sitcom but fun.

Green Acres actually stared to jell a few episodes into the first season. Once the Hank Kimbell character was fully developed. Does anyone remember that an early episode had Alf playing another character without Ralph. Also Ralph was Mrs. Kravitz on Bewitched for at leaset one episode after the first Mrs. K passed.

Also have been going thru the episodes of Rod Serling's Night Gallery and each show featured up to 3 stories and there were quite a few shorts that I would term horror/comedy.
 

Yes. Green Acres. I had forgotten about that. Also, if someone hasn't already mentioned it, - Get Smart
The idea of a shoe phone was so ridiculously funny. Now there probably is such a thing.
 


After all is said and done, more is usually said than done.

Re: Sitcoms That Still Make You Laugh [REALLY LAUGH]

I mentioned Rod Serling's Night Gallery above and while not a sitcom a lot of the stories have a comedic element. Moreover in terms of casting old 60's sitcom stars as well as other well known names were featured. The series ran for 3 seasons from 1970 to 1973 and here are some of the stars I have seen so far:

Artie Johnson
Wally Cox
Jo Anne Worley
Clint Howard
John Astin ( as a hippie in Hell)
Bob Crane
Adam West
Burgess Meredith
Alfred The Butler
Jonathan Harris ( Dr Smith)
Larry Hagman
David Mccallum
John Carradine
Vincent Price
Diane Keaton
Bill Bixby
Carl Reiner
Patti Duke
and some I can' remember right now.

I finished watching the entire "Young Sheldon" series while I do my 2.2 mile trek on my walking pad each morning.

Looking for another watch, I gave Superstore a try.  I had never even heard of it but given the several mentions in this thread, it seemed promising.

I hope you enjoy Superstore g121 as much as I did! And if you do, you should check out “St. Denis Medical”. It is the latest sitcom from the Superstore team that premiered last year and can be watched on the CTV app or Crave I believe. A second season is currently in production, which is good!

Have finished watching all 113 Superstore episodes .. quite good, I enjoyed it.

My morning routine during my 2.2 mile walk on my walking pad is a comedy episode plus 2 or 3 music videos.
The Superstore 113 finale episode was coupled with music videos  
Ally Venable - Real Gone

Bad Touch ft. Mollie Marriott - Baby Get It On 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEBl_ch1c-w     
 
 
Now on to Shorty Wave's recommended "St. Denis Medical" : )) ..

Glad you enjoyed Superstore g121, and I feel good for bringing it to your attention! A bit of personal trivia, my wife recently worked with Lauren Ash, who played Dina, on a cooking series currently airing. I think you’ll enjoy St. Denis as well. The writing team also had a short run series a couple of years ago called “American Auto”,  which is still available for streaming I think. It lasted two seasons. Happy viewing!

While the series premiered in December 1970, the pilot aired November 8, 1969. When Gallery premiered it was part of a series called Four In One which included McLoud, San Francisco International Airport and The Psychiartrist. For their second season McCloud and Night Gallery were spun off as stand alone series. Unfortunately, budget cuts reduced Night Gallery's third and final season from 60 to 30 minute episodes.
