TV Shows Mentioned in "Sitcom: A History in 24 Episodes"

In 2014, the book "Sitcom: A History in 24 Episodes from I Love Lucy to Community" used 24 sitcom episodes as a framework to discuss the history of the sitcom. The first 24 shows on the list are the shows behind the 24 "chapter title" episodes. The rest of the list includes other shows mentioned in the book, either in more detail or only in passing. Some of the shows mentioned in passing aren't sitcoms, and some shows mentioned in the book are specifically called out for being bad. (And it is possible I missed a few, especially if mentioned just once.)
