Sitcoms ruled in 1989. Out of the Top 20 shows on television, a dozen of them were comedies. A couple of them (Chicken Soup, Grand) are pretty obscure these days, but we bet you know the rest of them. Elsewhere on the dial, lawyers and cops entertained us with their cases.

10/11. I missed the first one...but then again, I just knew that it wasn't "Taxi", and couldn't stand the other 2.
