What, no Northern Exposure?

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. I found several favorites on the list, but...no Babyon 5?

At least they got The Prisoner, Twin Peaks, MPFL, Larry Sanders, etc.

[Deja Q]

2. And yet no 'Doctor Who', given how long it lasted on its original run (26 years)

[Fire Walk With Me]

4. D'oh, you're so right. How did I forget...

:blush:

And Connections, and The Human Animal...

I dig your Doctor Who sig photo. That was the first episode, right?

[CottonBear]

3. Babylon 5 is one of my all time favorite TV shows.

It was awesome! Every episode was like a chapter in a novel. You couldn't jump in midway through the series and have it make any sense.

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. Just like life.

Just imagine waking from a 20-year coma. Bush who? Iraq what? WTF?

[CottonBear]

6. Oy! That would be very confusing! n/t

[pokerfan]

7. Yeah, I would've found room for B5 and Doctor Who

"Upon arrival you will report for debriefing. And just one more thing, on your trip back I want you to take the time to learn the Babylon 5 mantra. Ivanova is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova's recommendations. Ivanova is God. And if this ever happens again, (shouting) Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out. Babylon Control out. (Sigh) Civilians. (Looking up) Just kidding about the God part -- no offense."

10. The Ivanova and Marcus storyline was so sad.

:( I really liked all of the characters. What a great series!

13. Damn shame Claudia left the series when she did

The fifth season would have had her dealing with her guilt and grief over Marcus' sacrifice.



“Wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair and all the terrible things that happen to us, come because actually deserve them? So now I take comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the Universe.”

8. Northern Exposure would be a serious oversight. I can't believe it.

Ever since we got rid of our cable we've been watching episodes at dinner instead of flipping through the crap that's on regular telly. Fantastic show.

[YankeyMCC]

9. 100!? Man that's quiet an inclusive number

Yet they have "The Monkeys" and not "Firefly" ? I mean I enjoyed the Monkeys and maybe they even belong on such a long list but over shows like Firefly, Babylon 5, Farscape, Law and Order (the original)

Also missing IMO - Mythbusters, Deadliest Catch

[sarge43]

11. No Bonanza?? n/t

[Tripper11]

12. Beavis and Butthead? Come on!

Seriously....

[Greyskye]

14. B5 and The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

Anyone remember that one?

[Fire Walk With Me]

22. Of course.

I'm a "Bruce Campbell can do no wrong" kind of guy.

[begin_within]

15. List is completely bogus, because there's no entry for

"Upstairs, Downstairs," the best drama series of all time.

[ironflange]

16. You don't need to get past the "A's" to know it's humbug

American Idol?

:rofl:

Why not throw in "America's Funniest Home Videos" while you're at it?

Worst list ever.

[BlueJazz]

17. The List is Bullshit...There's many, many shows that Critics and Viewers alike...

..would "blow off the stage" i/3 of the shows listed.

[datasuspect]

18. sanford and son is the only show worth watching

[EstimatedProphet]

19. There are some deserving ones, but SPONGEBOB?!? WTF!

[KamaAina]

20. Daily Show but no Colbert?

Was this list written by a bear or something? They're godless killing machines! They eat saints!!!

[greatauntoftriplets]

21. American Idol????

I would have been pissed had St. Elsewhere not been on that list.

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. Yeah, I kind of ignored the American Idol mention and got on with the good stuff.

And no mention of "Cleopatra 2525"??? That show was perfect television. It was what television was made for.
