What about "That Girl", Bob Newhart, "I Dream of Jeannie", or "Bewitched"? They were all shot on film.
AFAIK, sitcoms really didn't use video until the 1970's ("The Jeffersons", "Good Times", "All in the Family", etc.)

Dr. Who, being a BBC production shot both on film and tape as did most of the other BBC shows. They would shoot the indoor sets on tape, but shoot 16mm film for the locations. This is one of the reasons Dr. Who has such a hit or miss look to it.

A lot of British sitcoms still do that today ("Keeping Up Appearances" did it, as did "Black Books".)
