It lists quite a lot of shows that I religiously watch(ed), so I can't complain. The only thing I really miss is Absolutely Fabulous.

Duh Seinfeld made the list, I'm glad to see that BOTH offices got recognised, although I mainly watch the American one, and its amazing to see Arrested Development get some credit, Im SOO pissed that show got canceled.

Taxi was amazing. I miss the reruns

And SNL should have dates just like MTV...my mom who used to watch all the time told me that it is horrible now compared to back when it first started

Where in the hell is The Andy Griffith Show and the Golden Girls? They are always considered two of the best shows in TV history. This list sucks!

We're a TV-worshipping world. Couldn't virtually anyone put together a list of one-hundred TV shows that would amuse & please almost everyone who watches TV? I mean, one-hundred is a lot of TV shows. Every reader is bound to love a number of the shows listed.

Miss Vicky · #11 09-12-2007, 09:53 PM

No Blackadder?

What a bunch of crap.

catinthedark · #12 09-12-2007, 10:12 PM

you could say the same about any list created about any medium. doesn't mean we're a tv-/movie-/radio-/pantomime-worshipping world.
