Alaska Darin Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 1. All in the Family. Turn on an episode today and it's still hysterical and relevant. There was nothing like it on television and there still isn't. 2. The Sopranos. The show that revolutionized modern television and gave birth to virtually every great non-network show that followed. Hail. 3. The Wire. Sharp, relevant, thought provoking. Amazing writing and a level of grit that has yet to be matched. 4. Seinfeld. "A Show about Nothing" managed to be hilarious for its entire run. A terrific cast, led by a comedian who couldn't act at all. 5. NYPD Blue. Incredibly controversial, especially in the early years. Brought nudity and profanity to network television while telling great stories. Like the Sopranos, everything that came after it owes NYPD Blue a debt of gratitude. Honorable Mentions: Deadwood, The Shield, Rescue Me, M*A*S*H, Star Trek, and "The Larry Sanders Show". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Andy Griffith and the Dick Van Dyke Show are shows that will always stand the test of time....brilliant shows that would probably sit atop the ratings if they were current shows. i didm't even look at yours before typing, but eerily similar to mine, sans andy griffith and breaking bad breaking bad is only ony there because its the only show created in the last 20 years i am interested in.

row_33 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Monty Python was ruined by those mediocre splashbergers people who think they are witty if they yell out parts of sketches. That describes 100 percent of people who do this, nobody does it good... can they a least try the Dirty Vicar sketch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Not one mention of I Love Lucy? Every other show (save The Honeymooners) wouldn't even exist without I Love Lucy. It literally invented modern television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally invented modern television. That is like saying a flat stone is a top appliance because it was used for cooking first. I liked I Love Lucy but it is not top 5 IMO; I'd watch it maybe if it was on TV in waiting room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Lucy and Bob Hope didn't strike the funny bone of people born after 1960. Curly and Harpo Marx will be funny to us childish men for another 1,000 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
