No way am I clicking through a list probably influenced by an agenda of framing the thought process.

My votes:

The first to years of WKRP in Cincinnati. After that it got somewhat politically correct.

The Ozzie and Harriet Show That show has a lot to do with the general acceptance of Rock music and was entertainment the family watched together and enjoyed.

Sonny and Cher

The Smothers Brothers

Charlie's Angels

Leverage

“The Wire?????????”

One of the most vastly overrated shows of all time.

Absolutely. But not surprised in the least, considering the type of people who did the judging.

> Abbott & Costello Show (w/ Mr Fields, Mike the Cop, ‘Stinky’, etc) <

Oh my goodness, yes. The show was only on for two seasons. It's available on DVD. I've got both seasons.

Since the only criteria seems to be that the show originated on TV. Why isn’t Monday Night Football with Howard and Dandy Don listed?

It's one of the rare few programs where I bought the DVD. 52 episodes in the 2 seasons.

#9 Breaking Bad?

Nonsense.

It belongs in the top 3 with Seinfeld and The Twilight Zone.
