In an effort to revive the forum I want to go back to the tried and true “top ten” series. Before I get into the nitty gritty, I want to say Muffraider and I did these like daily back in the nes forums days, and while most were music-related, we got into some esoteric categories. Along those lines I’d like to do “comedies” “horror” “decades” etc down the line.

For the scripted television series top ten the only rule is that it can’t be a reality show. That’s it. Feel free to add commentary to your choices. Or don’t. Animation also counts.

My list. (10-4 are pretty interchangeable depending on my mood, but 3-1 are iron-clad)

10. The Sopranos
9. The Office (U.K.)
8. Freaks and Geeks
7. Arrested development
6. The twilight zone
5. Home Movies
4. The Simpsons
3. The Wire
2. Cheers
1. It’s always sunny in Philadelphia

Kind of like cal's, my list is the first and second are locked in, then you can mix up 3-6 amongst themselves and then mix up 7-10 the same way.

I like how Always Sunny has made 3/4 of the lists, and would have made 4/4 if the show had reached Newfieville. I just rewatched the Jershey Shore episode again - priceless.

I was going to make a post with every incarnation of Cosby show there was, but instead I'll try to throw down a list. No particular order:

The Sopranos
Clerks the Cartoon
Married with Childrens
The Wonder Years
Miami Vice
Sanford and Son
Futurama
ATHF

I could only get to 8. Oh well.


I lied. Here's the real 8:

The Cosby Show
The Bill Cosby Show
Cos
Cosby
The Cosby Mysteries
Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids
House of Cosbys
Little Bill

Clerks is a tremendous little run of a cartoon. We only got 6 episodes and they're all fantastic. The episode about Dante's trial is one of the funniest 22 minutes of TV ever.

Confirmed. It would have thrived on Adult Swim.

Btw they are going to pop a remixed Season 4 of Arrested Development this week. The guy behind the show cut and pasted the shit out of the character specific episodes to make them like the first three seasons. Ron Howard even recorded more narration to make them flow like normal. A+

I can't wait for season 5 sometime in the 2030's.
