101? There haven’t been more than 3 “best shows” on television: The Dick Van Dyke Show starring Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore; WKRP in Cincinnati; and uh.... OK, make that 2 “best shows”. The rest are mind rot.

Northern Exposure should be top 5, if not top 10. Frasier too!

"X-Files. No. 26."

Should have been higher. Substantially higher. I'm guessing some of the inherent conservatism of the X-files counted against it.

Yes.....to many represented for the top ten in my opinion.

At the time of their heyday, yeah, I watched them. But that was when I was very young and didn’t realize what rabid liberals their stars were.

Person of Interest and Elementary.

I was thinking that Person of Interest should have made the list despite being on the air for only two years. Also, I don't see NCIS. I would put those two shows on the list.
