Random Thoughts 101 posted a poll. What are your top 5 TV shows of all time.
Of all time? Yikes. Okay, here goes…
1. The West Wing
2. Alias
3. Lost
4. Scrubs
5. Arrested Development
My “runners up”:
Sports Night
Six Feet Under
Cheers
Family Ties
Buffy/Angel
Friends
Quantum Leap
I absolutely adored Wonderfalls, but it wasn’t on long enough to make the list. I could go on, but I won’t. 😉
I have to agree with Steve, who commented on the original post. I don’t get Family Guy. (and believe me, I love me some Beavis and Butthead, and South Park) And I’ve shared my thoughts on Seinfeld in the past. Except for a few brief experiences, I’ve pretty much avoided reality TV. Give me good writing, and I’m happy.
This is Hard. I�m going to want to change it later. Not in Order.
Carol Burnett
Soap
Barney Miller
Rockford Files
Farscape
Mini series
Rich Man Poor Man
Current Favs just 4
Stragate Atlantis
Corner Gas
Sopranos
Family Guy
I’ll add best themes.
Perry Mason- a great cool tune
Hawaii 5-0
Green Hornet- (more for Kill Bill but..)
Mash
Hill Street Blues
I noticed some Brit coms on the original thread. I’ve always like British Humor.
There was a Show that Followed the Young ones with some cast members I liked better.there was one Episode where they formed a band that I remember as hilarious.
There was a show on AE in the 80’s called Rising Damp that I could’nt miss. ( I think it was about ten years old at the time)
I loved all the Black Adders. But not a big Atkinson fan.
Secret army was Good.
Good Nieghbors. God that blonde was so cute 🙂
What was the WWII comedy in Renes Cafe. that was good.
Of Course Python. ” My Hovercraft is full of eels”
Was there a show called “Bounder” ? I seem to remember liking that.
Hmmm.
All-time:
1. M*A*S*H
2. Lost
3. Star Trek
4. Star Trek: The Next Generation
5. a multi-part tie between Taxi, Northern Exposure, the X-Files, Doctor Who, Deep Space Nine, The Simpsons, JLU, etc. etc. etc. And I admit with no shame, bback in the 70s I was a big fan of Grizzly Adams.
Current:
1. Lost
2. Doctor Who (just seen three episodes and love it already)
3. The Simpsons (I don’t watch it regularly, but any episode is a guaranteed fun half-hour
4. The Amazing Race (the class among “reality” TV)
5. either The Boondocks, Smallville or Letterman on a good night. The Daily Show is fabulous, of course.
Hmmm, that’s tough and highly subjective, so these are my favorites (for today), but not necessarily the best:
1. The original Star Trek
2. M*A*S*H
3. Northern Exposure
4. The Wonder Years
5. Lost
Honourable Mentions:
Politically Incorrect
