I really cannot choose just one. I love Bill Cosby and Bob Newhart so much, and Lucille Ball is also a legend....I just can't choose.

To the moon! Easy call for me. The Honeymooners remains the greatest sitcom ever done, and among the funniest TV that ever happened.

Winters and Rickles are funnier, but I consider them 60's comics.

Kovacs had great writers, but Steve had one of the sharpest minds in the business.

I put Gleason more into the 40's era for some reason...when I saw 50's, my first thought was Lucy, so I go with her.
