I had to go through the list ...I agree completely! I had to go through the list three times before I would believe that they left off one of the most honored and revered sitcoms in TV history. It's my #1 of all time and certainly belongs in the top 20. Even though the list does include I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners and Your Show of Shows, it feels like it was compiled by a group of 30somethings with zero knowledge of anything before the 1980s.<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131594619529731913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-20173838254341765202013-07-03T09:20:28.508-04:002013-07-03T09:20:28.508-04:00TV lists are never worth the paper they're wri...TV lists are never worth the paper they're written on, I find. They usually forget huge chunks of TV history (eg the 1950s) because almost no one involved was alive then, favour ones that have a lot of current, active fans (who are going to buy/read the list), and are generally by people who don't know what they're talking about or have specific interests. <br /><br />There was a 50 Greatest TV Dramas show over here about six years ago: http://www.the-medium-is-not-enough.com/2007/03/review_the_50_greatest_tv_dram.php Despite polling loads of TV executives, it came in with some really perverse responses. And, o course, The Wire didn't even get on the list at all because it was only airing on FX at the time over here, and none of them watched it. It was only once it was on BBC2 that everybody watched it and realised how good it was.Rob Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161472800655115351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-52652447434402029862013-07-03T01:47:48.385-04:002013-07-03T01:47:48.385-04:00Forget it, Tobe.
