What even is a sitcom? If it means very specifically the multi-camera, "filmed in front of a live audience" type shows there's plenty of great examples, although less these days since it's sort of an antiquated format. Stuff like The Big Bang theory is lazy dreck, but that's mostly because it's just coasting on fumes of a dead format when the medium has moved on from it. But I don't think you can point to something like I Love Lucy and call it lazy, especially when it pioneered like 90% of what we think about when we think of TV shows. If the modern single camera style can be considered a sitcom, there's countless great modern shows. And there's a ton of transitional stuff that doesn't fit completely cleanly into the single-camera / multi-camera live audience dichotomy - How I met your mother is a good example of those, where it's multi-cam, but not filmed in front of an audience, with camera cuts and pacing that would be more at home in a single-cam show.
