“The best TV show ever was “I, Claudius”, the 1976 mini-series.”

Excellent series. I’d have to put “Lonesome Dove” right up there with it.

Yes, that was also superb.

OOH Yes and Yes

OTOH if you are going to limit it to 35, I can see omitting mini series

The Gripping Hand: I would also rule ineligible: quiz, reality, variety, and chat shows

Which would all room for Get Smart, MASH, Barney Miller, Soap, Family Ties, Northern Exposure, Babylon 5, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
