Kid Gleason Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 This is actually a pretty good list that is tough to argue with. They were smart to do it alphabetical instead of by rank. The omission of Fawlty Towers is sad though, as IMO it is the single greatest comedy (TV or movies) ever. http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/com...1651341,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Pee Wee's Playhouse is listed, but Law & Order isn't. Where are the Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock shows? What about Inside The NFL during the Dawson/Buonicotti/Collinsworth years? I'm not that big a fan of Family Guy, but where in the hell is it? "MTV 1981-1992" -- What happened in 1993? Why is 1992 the cut-off point? I see Gilmore Girls, Felicity, etc, but no Beverly Hills 90210? I could probably sit here all day pointing out major flaws. That list is atrocious, mang.

Kid Gleason Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) You can argue those that are missing, but with the exception of a few here and there, you can't argue those that are there. MTV in 1992 had a certain show aired that changed that entire station and killed the "Music" on the show and can easily be credited for the wasteland that is Reality TV: The Real World. (though the real world is on their list) Edited September 18, 2007 by Kid Gleason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know what to think after seeing these: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Felicity Gilmore Girls Married With Children Pee Wee's Playhouse Spongebob Squarepants And not seeing these: Law & Order Beverly Hills 90210 Curb Your Enthusiasm Chappelle Show Family Guy I'm not saying that I like Beverly Hills 90210, but it was pretty much the most popular show on television for like a 5 year stretch. And yet, Felicity gets the nod? I won't argue with the rest of it. To me, shows like Survivor and American Idol are complete and utter suckfests, but I do recognize their impact on pop culture. The exclusion of Law & Order is the one that really has me shaking my head, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Yeah, but 6 out of 100 is pretty darn good. I point you in the direction of AFI for how to blunder 100 choices. I'll agree with you if we can replace Beverly Hills with Rockford Files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic that I'm watching Fawlty Towers right now. It's definitely a classic and a damn good comedy, and TV show in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it gets any cornier than "Married With Children", but if we were talking about a Top 200 list, you wouldn't hear me complaining. However, in light of what has been excluded, I can not let this ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but Kid, you can not possibly deny the impact that Beverly Hills 90210 had on pop culture. It was everywhere; you couldn't avoid it. Every girl that I knew back in the early 90s had Luke Perry or Jason Priestly posters hanging up on their walls. Or worse yet, Brian Austin Green posters.

hammerhead johnson Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 BTW, I'm assuming that "The Three Stooges" and "The Marx Bros" don't qualify because all of that stuff was aired in theaters, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marx Bros. only did feature length films. They may have had the rare little thing here and there, but I bet you couldn't name any of them, nor could most die-hard Marx fans, of which I consider myself. Stooges were shorts, yes, so they wouldn't count. I can't deny the impact of BH90210, but is the list made up of quality or impact? I think that is where to have to try and see through the crap and the inclusion of stuff such as 90210 and MARRIED tells me they used both criteria. BH would never even come close to touching my list, as it was complete crap. Why isn't it on there? Don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Buffalo Bill, maybe there is something to this list. That was over in a blink of an eye, but one of the best shows I've seen. I did a quick count and I think I've not seen about 18 of those shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched all three seasons more than 5 times apiece lol. You can watch all three seasons at the following link (except the last few, I don't know why. http://www.tv-links.co.uk/listings/1 You can rent the dvd's at blockbuster, or the show is aired on G4 sporadically. I'd go with buying the DVD's, but that's because it's my favorite show of all time (sorry, Seinfeld.)
