100 Best TV Shows of All Time Meme - or rather the 100 best Mainstream TV shows of all Time Meme

Is it just me or is LJ slow tonight?

Anyhow, ganked from spacedoutlooney - Time Magazine's 100 Best TV Shows of all Time. I have a few quibbles about this list - "Doctor Who" isn't mentioned for one thing nor is Laugh-In nor The Wonderful World of Disney - which changed TV and was amongst the first shows in color. Also, reading the list? I've become aware of one thing - I have watched far too much television in my life time.

I'm thinking they made their choices based on what changed the climate of television or expanded the form - causing others to copy them. If so, they shouldn't have left ER, Doctor Who, and Donahue off the list. If it weren't for Donahue - we wouldn't have Oprah. Donahue changed the talk show. Also - what about Columbo? The first detective show to last a long time - without that there wouldn't be the procedurals. Law and Order? Which was the first procedural? See this is the problem with coming up with lists, you always leave stuff off and it is all is sooo subjective, rendering the whole biz of list making and reward giving rather silly and pointless in the final analysis. But we're competitive animals - we have to have them, I suppose.

Shows I've seen many episodes of are underlined. Shows seen every, bolded.
Shows I've seen at least one episode of are italicized.

( look and see have much television I've watched, I dare you. )
