1. Seinfeld–best sitcom past and present, possibly the future as well.

2. The X-Files–Even past the 4th season this show blew everything else out of the water. Agent Mulder and Scully are one of the most enduring partnerships in TV history.

3. Beavis and Butthead–The precursor to today’s potty-mouth cartoon humor.

4. South Park–Potty-mouth cartoon humor redefined. Is starting to run out of gas however.

5. The Simpsons–Been out of gas for several seasons, but in it’s prime was the best animated show on television.

6. The Highlander–Great cult series following the life of a Scottish immortal warrior.

7. The Cosby Show–Helped revive the sitcom in the 80’s and made family life fun.

8. Xena–Everyone can use some guilty pleasure ridden, mindless entertainment.

9. MST3K–Self explanatory. Who doesn’t enjoy ripping on B-movies?

10. Kung Fu–Mixing martial arts and the old west is just a fascinating concept that stood out from all the other westerns on tv at the time.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
The Sopranos
St. Elsewhere
Freaks and Geeks
The Office (BBC)
Seinfeld
Law & Order (I cheat and include all three flavors in one selection)
The X-Files
Everybody Loves Raymond (I know it’s considered lowbrow but it makes me laugh)

could have easily made the cut: Sex & The City, The Dick Van Dyke Show, My So-Called Life, Curb Your Enthusiasm (forgetting this horrible season), Lost, Desperate Housewives, MST3K, Newsradio, The Bob Newhart Show.

My god. The best shows are those that have stood the test of time. All of the below shows have done so beautifully.

1. I Love Lucy. Fifty-five years since its debut, it is still the gold standard by which all television, not just sitcoms, are measured. It’s never been surpassed.

2. Amos ‘n’ Andy. No doubt the most politically incorrect choice, it was the equal to I Love Lucy but for bad timing. Great writing, great acting all around. This is a national treasure that should never be allowed to sit in a vault.

3. Twilight Zone. Television’s best anthology, and it still holds up beautifully.

4. Leave It to Beaver. Like Lucy, is still timeless and will never be dated. Created by the same people who wrote the scripts for the TV version of Amos ‘n’ Andy.

5. Have Gun–Will Travel. Superior western with superior writing.

6. The Dick van Dyke Show. Another superior sitcom that’s held up quite well.

7. The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Probably the perfect example of ensemble acting.

8. Maverick–Another top western, a showcase for the talents of James Garner who unfortunately left the series because of a salary dispute.

9. Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The master’s introductions are top ten-worthy all by themselves.

10. The Prisoner. It had just a handful of episodes, but this series was terrific.

There are many others worthy of inclusion: The Jack Benny Program, The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, You Bet Your Life, Rawhide, Gunsmoke, All in the Family (though a bit dated), M*A*S*H*, See It Now, Bewitched, 60 Minutes, CBS Reports, Your Show of Shows (few episodes exist, unfortunately), to name but a few.

Sorry, can’t think of a tenth.

2.) The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: Undoubtedly, I’ve spent by far the most time watching this show. I sure miss Johnny.

3.) WKRP in Cincinnati: My favorite sitcom. A loving look at human eccentricity, and an implicit, understated argument that these very quirks may be the best thing about our particular species.

4.) The West Wing: I didn’t start watching until the fifth season, but once I did, I really loved it. This past year, its sixth, had some of the most thrilling TV I’ve seen in the episodes devoted to the primary campaign, culminating in the Democratic Convention.

5.) Friends: I consistently enjoyed it for the whole ten-year run, and I continue to get pleasure from the re-runs. That’s enough for me.

6.) China Beach: The old World War II soldier’s term, FUBAR, or “F***ed Up Beyond All Recognition,” is just about impossible to convey on film or TV. This show did an excellent job of it in showing the most completely FUBAR’d war the United States has ever been in. The third season especially was amazing TV: by moving through the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s within episodes, it gave us a sense of each character’s full story being told, while also capturing the fractured, out of joint feeling caused by war. Plus - Dana Delaney!

7.) Sex and the City: My favorite New York City show. I enjoy the friendship among the four women. And I like that Carrie could be really frustrating sometimes.

8.) SCTV: Ran circles around SNL. What a great cast of characters, from a remarkable ensemble.

9.) Alias Smith and Jones: I don’t know if anyone remembers this one, but I loved it. Probably a sentimental favorite, but I liked the friendship between the two main characters, and their cheeky sense of humor.

10.) Kolchak the Night Stalker: I got his on a bootleg DVD and was pleased to find that it holds up. Without ever referring to either event, I think this show tapped into the paranoia and disillusion produced by Vietnam and Watergate - the sense that something very bad was going on somewhere just out of sight, and no matter how hard we tried, we were never going to be able to bring it light. For this mission, Darren McGavin as the title character was the perfect rumpled Everyman: skeptical, irreverent, and true blue in his own jaundiced way.

everything else is obsoleete (freinds is gay!)

10: Love Boat - Yes it was campy and the clothes were out of this world. But Gophers smile was adorable. Isaacs wink was charming and everything alsways worked out in the end. Don’t you wish life was like that.

9: 240 Robert - 80’s rescue show was fun to watch, great characters and semi good storylines. Mark Harmon, Joanna Cassidy and John Bennett Perry in case someone wants to look it up.

8:Dukes of Hazzard - Nothing like good old down home fun. Didn’t hurt that several of the cast members were and still are cute. Yep I am talking Bo and Luke and for the guys there was Daisy. Nothing can replace the original.

7: Hercules: Bringing history to life(sort of) it was entertainment. A great buddy movie were the buddy actually shared the spotlight. The stories were told well.

6: Xena - The feminine buddy show. Yes, they messed with the time line a lot but this was fantasy not history. I loved the martial arts. Costumes were cool too.

5: Charmed - Three sisters bonding to follow their destiny. It has had a bumpy year here and there but over all great family show, wicked special effects and good writing.

4: Highlander - Adrian Paul, do I have to say more. The flashback scenes were wonderful, well done and didn’t look out of place. The story was compelling and always interesting. and something about a guy with a brogue.. yummy.

3: Farscape - The proverbial fish out of water, I thought this sounded the same as so many other shows that I almost didn’t watch. Glad I did. The characters are very multi dimensional, bound by a single cause. It should have had a few more years to tell it’s story.

2: Buffy-The Vampire Slayer- Wow, Girl power rules. The world needs more positive rolemodels for girls and this show delivered at least 4 of them. Buffy, powerful, strong, reluctant. Willow, shy, brilliant and powerful. Anya, demon hello, strong. Cordelia, bitchy, strong and ultimately a fighter.

1: Angel - fighting for redemption, trying to fit in, introverted mostly because he is afraid to get hurt or hurt others. I think this is like 80% of the people on the planet. No wonder people related to this guy. I just wish he had gotten together with Willow, seemed like the perfect match up.

1. JAMES AT 15 - I think the first regular TV kid to get laid (but the net got so much flak they gave him the clap two eps. later).

2. ABCs WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS - think of someone with a perfect remote control finger clicking to all the right sports at the right time. Demolition derby!

3. WISE GUY - Vinnie (Ken Wahl), so deep undercover that he can’t tell his disgraced mother that he’s really one of the good guys. Bad guys like Kevin Spacey, Stanley Tucci, Jerry Lewis, Annette Bening.

4. HOMICIDE -

5. & 5a THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW & THIS IS GARRY SHANDLING’S SHOW- Larry Sanders Show was(is?) the state of the art, but the hilarious underseen TISSS was the antecedent.

6. HERE COME THE BRIDES - Get this for a premise - horny lumberjacks in Seattle, so they import 100 babes from Massachuttes. And it’s a drama. Try and slip that past the nets today.

7. BAKERSFIELD P.D. - Sad to say, but if Bakersfield PD and Arrested Development had laugh tracks, these two would be RAYMOND & ROSEANNE. Deeply funny and way too deadpan for, well, everyone that’s not reading this.

8. THE PATTY DUKE SHOW - When she was Cathy, I really believed she was Cathy.

9. BIG BROTHER - the one in 2001. The winner, Will, was even more diabolical and enjoyable than Richard Hatch. His strategy? Be SUCH an asshole that no one bothered to vote him off, all the while everyone else was always sweating it while he had a great time. You don’t know who he is because of the events of September 11th overshadowed this little game. Worse, and more compelling, the contestants were in complete radio blackout so they were the only ones in the word not to know of the horror of 9/11. Worse still, one of the remaining contestants had a cousing in one of the towers who had not been accounted for. Watching the producers trying to wriggle out of this - amazing television.

10. MY MOTHER THE CAR - I was young and maybe it doesn’t hold up so well but, the dude’s mom dies, comes back as a car and bugs her son for all eternity. How can that NOT be funny?

I left it off because it obvious. You specifically asked for the 10 greatest, but not obvious, shows.

1. Freeks and Geeks - The most down to earth, honest, and witty show I’ve ever seen. I came out the same year as The 70s Show and what CBS did to it (changing its time slot every week, failure to promote it, putting it up against bigger shows) is outrageous. I’ve got it on tape, and want to get the DVD, and would put any of the 13 episodes up against any other TV show any day of the week.

2. Wonder Years - Another tremendous show about the joys and perils and parental relations that everyone who grew up during an age before computers experienced. Both my father and myself could relate to each and every episode, and our family was closer as a result.

3. Married With Children - Together with The Simpsons set the stage for Fox to be a major player. In its day, this show was on a whole ‘nother level and did for Television what Howard Stern did for Radio.

4. The Greatest American Hero - Come on now, how can you not like it - from the theme song to the silly outfit. Just what we needed in the dark days of the cold war. I still walk to work huming the theme song.

5. Cheers - Coach and Carla and Sam and Norm and Diane and Cliff and Rebecca and Woody and Frasier. Has there been a better ensemble comedy?

6. Frasier - A powerful, compelling, insightful comedy that raised the art of comedic sitcom to that of serious theater.

7. TIE - Marlin Perkins and Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom and Jacques-Yves Cousteau’s The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau and The Cousteau Odyssey - These two shows brought the quality of National Geographic to a large Television viewing audience, helped advance world wide respect for wildlife and their habitats, and laid the groundwork for the success of cable television powerhouses like Discover, Animal Planet and others. Steve Irwin and Jack Hanna would never exist - and don’t even begin to compare - without these masters.

9. Space 1999 - I just loved this show as a kid.

10. Magnum, PI - Engaging, action packed, and every boy’s dream. When I pass reruns while channel surfing, I still manage to stop and stay. Its only fault is the all too occaisonal flashbacks to Vietnam.

There are more…..

11. Mad About You

and CURRENTLY, I Can’t stop watching……..THE GILMORE GIRLS!
GREAT COMEDY!
