TV Shows that Don't Suck

New & old??

Shows that never sucked:
Seinfeld
Simpsons
I Love Lucy
Dick Van Dyke
Mary Tyler Moore
David Letterman
Will & Grace
Wonder Years
Scrubs (still young though)

 

Lists like these are always subjective:

Carol Burnett Show
M*A*S*H
All In The Family
ER
Hill Street Blues
Homicide (can't recall the exact name -on NBC)

and many sitcoms that I think are great, but won't mention because I don't want to get into a debate about what is socially redeeming.

 

The Twilight Zone
Roseanne
Malcom In The Middle (although they do need some new juice)
The Flintstones
Smallville

 

Favorite show of all time: Babylon 5

When I say this, I then explain to people (after pulling the wedgie out of my crack) that the writing, characters, and scope of the show is simply unlike and leagues beyond anything that has ever graced the small screen.

Favorite current show: Deadwood
Funny, phenomenally entertaining characters, brilliant performances, consistently engaging.
