Top 10 TV Shows of All Time
catalogs ^ | July 6, 2010

Posted on 10/15/2010 9:08:27 PM PDT by JoeProBono

"Any top ten list is bound to be subjective, but this one has criteria: to make this list, a show must have longevity (Sports Night was great, but didn’t last), staying power (Three’s Company was funny, but hopelessly dated), strong writing (hopefully self-explanatory) and memorable moments (there’s a good reason that the final episode of M.A.S.H. was until very recently the most watched show in television history). Here are my choices, and let the debate begin."

For a brief SciFi show, “Farscape”, the best in decades.

You know, I skipped past that show for almost the entirety of it's run, it seemed too over the top, the explosion of colors, the wild variety of aliens, the spaceships, everything. Then, one night I decided to watch and I was hooked. Very sophisticated plots and storylines. The Jim Henson Company handled the nonhuman alien characters and man does it show, really quality work. It's a great one that passed before its time.

No one mentioned the longest-running sitcom of all time?

She'd be mortified, how could I forget the laaadeh of the hooouse Hyacinth and her candlelight suppers?

Her extended family are fun, sort of British trailer trash, lol.
