So many golden ages, so much brilliance from which to choose. In culling from the "60 Greatest" lists we've compiled during our 60th-anniversary year, we shook things up, blending drama, comedy and other genres to salute the shows with the biggest cultural impact and most enduring influence.

There were so many, thousands of TV series that never saw the light of day.

I can recall two on Saturday Monnings The Adventures of Superman, and Flash Gordon....

the Three Stooges and Amos and Andy after school every day.

Then you had the Warner Bros Cartoons on Saturday... Bugs bunny. Looking back those guys had to be on a constant buzz. God, they were fun... Mel Brooks?

Dragnet? Perry Mason... even in reruns is excellent.

Red Skelton, Johnny Carson...

Ed Sullivan Show, I guess not a series, was great.

How The Beaver.... or Mister Ed.

[redhead]

Night Court, Magnum PI, Rockford Files...

This has to be one of the worst television shows of all time. Two disgusting/perverted central characters. Not the least bit funny. Yet it's apparently still one of the most popular shows around today. I really feel sorry for anyone growing up in these sick times we're in.

I’m shocked Mr Ed didn’t make the list...or at least My Mother the Car!

[mel]

I love Bonanza it taught a moral lesson frequently unlike today’s trash

[ifinnegan]

‘The Sopranos’ was a compelling TV series, very intense. But it was also vulgar and inhumane, from top to bottom. So yeah, I’ll agree with you there.

Well put.

I definitely recognize the professionalism and skill in making television product.

Today it would be transgender interracial couple with a drug crazed kid

[thingumbob]

SCTV was funny as hell....

"Welcome to the Great White North"....."Howz it goin' ehh?"

Dad use to catch me laughing my ass off watching Monty Pythons Flying a Circus and Benny Hill. He joined me one night and we woke Mom up, man was she p!ssed.

modern family but no married with children this is horse sh!t

[Fresh Wind]

Conspicuous by their absence:

WKRP in Cincinnati (there really WERE phone cops)

Dragnet (the most famous 4 notes since Beethoven’s 5th)

Dukes of Hazzard (too un-PC to be mentioned, but always fun and, ahem, visually stimulating)

Amos & Andy (black face didn’t work in TV, so real blacks could finally be major characters, and it’s not as racist as libs would have you think)

[IronJack]

Breaking Bad was one of the best TV series ever created. Walter’s slow descent into madness was nothing short of both compelling and pathetic. To those who haven’t seen it, it is well worth the watch, despite Bryan Cranston being a left-tard.

[ETL]

never watched The Wire or Breaking Bad

I never even heard of them. Gave up on "popular" TV and music decades ago. Damn near everything sucks these days, even cartoons.

[bk1000]

I would not include shows from pay networks in the list. Should be broadcast only.

[PIF]

1) “I Remember Mama” staring Peggy Wood.
2) Howdy Doody
3) Bob Hope Show
4) Jack Benny Show
5) Abbott & Costello

[Leep]

Honorable Mention:

The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
Corner Gas
Mr Bean
Happy Days
Laverne and Shirley
Mr Monk
King The Hill
Amazing Stories

[Mouton]

“Death Valley Days”

In that vein, I’d opt for The Rifleman.

[EdnaMode]

And it holds up well 60 years later. Definitely the best show ever.
