It can be a comedy, drama etc.
What say ye?
The Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Hour.
Best moment ever on The Lawrence Welk Show.....
One Toke Over The Line
The Shield
Speaking in generalities, I say all of the Maury, Jerry Springer type shows were/are the best comedies the world has ever seen! I ROFL even when I think about them! ;-)
It was an All-American show that depicted wholesome values. We need more programs like this today.
James Arness was a hunk.
Nice birds but don’t recognize it.
Since this will be a list based on personal entertainment taste, here goes mine:
M*A*S*H
Magnum P.I.
Buffy, the Vampire Slayer
Please note, I like to be entertained, not preached to, with the exception of M*A*S*H. Current TV offerings are slim pickings at best.
Kind of cheating but Masterpiece Theater. It featured such greats as: I Claudius, Piece of Cake, Upstairs Downstairs, just to name a few.
I Love Lucy (the original one)
McHale’s Navy (All 4 years of 138 episodes are on Youtube)
Carol Burnett Show
Kirby was the man.
the one with Brian Brown was the best...it might have been by the BBC..
I love Lucy set the parameters for successful TV comedies that still operate today.
How many shows have the comedic heroine get herself in trouble while the befuddled, dumb, or helpful guy lead serves as the straight man.
Friends is just one show that compresses this formula into several woman/man relationships that work the same territory.
F Troop
NYPD Blue
H & I Channel is running the entire series, all years. I’m watching it for the second time right now. Terrific show. Have 51 episodes on the DVR right now and I’ve watched probably 10 episodes in the last few days.
Variety: Ed Sullivan and Carol Burnett
Talk: Carson, Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin.
Comedy: I Love Lucy and The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Drama: Six Feet Under and Mad Men
Limited Series: Rich Man Poor Man, Brideshead Revisited and The Thorn Birds
Her own special category: Judge Judy.
Larry Storch was hilarious.
Red Dwarf
Elecktra Woman and Dyna Girl- great theme music also

Two of the best sitcoms ever.
