I am a die hard fan of the show though and even the worst seasons had their merits

Thanks for the ranks, mwcfan80! If you'd like, you can also cast your vote for the best and worst seasons of the show.

Best: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3287

Worst: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3293

Definitely not a S*v*n fan, I see.

Question: Does the dots between 3 and 2 and between 1 and 11 mean that they are way behind in your ranking?

Yeah, sort of. Seasons 4, 5 and 3 are definitely my fave seasons, then it was a bit harder to decide which go where, and how 'far' behind they should be. But as said above, every season has its merits.

I'm juat surprised you have 11 ranked higher than 10.

They're about level for me, I think. Both have their share of good and crappy episodes. But that could change at any point and I could decide to rank 10 higher.

Crappy? MWC?! I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

That's just an attempt at a spin-off, I wouldn't really count that one. It's better than Friends...

Personally I don't get the low ranking for Seasons 1 & 2, I'd be curious to know if these people are old enough to have watched them first time round. In the context of what was on at the time plus in my opinion they still hold up today, I personally think they are excellent. OK, the characters are less developed but I find brilliance in the simplicity. At times the dialog is truly awesome and some of the most basic scenes are the best ever, thinking specifically of the various scenes with Al and Steve on the couch, crack me up everytime.

As others have noted, I still get pleasure from the not so good episodes, only a very few I skip when revisiting a season.

There's a pretty simple explanation as to why some may not hold them that very high on their list. Here are my reviews for the first two seasons:

Season 1: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1378
Season 2: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1379

I did notice the explanation and I understand the points made but I don't agree with any low rankings, just my opinion.

For example, Season 6 is no way better than 1 or 2. 6 has a few really good episodes that save it but most of them are among the worst especially the baby stuff, of course I don't want to be too critical knowing the background and what it meant for K Sagal.

Well, just because it's low ranked compared to others, doesn't mean I or others 't think any of those seasons are bad. I agree that season 2 is better than season 6, BTW, though season 6 is better than the first.
