For clarity, I'm leaning toward "best" over "favorite" and discounting anything currently on the air ... need at least 2 seasons and in no particular order. Also, I'll go Comedy and Drama, since some dramas are under an hour.

The Honeymooners
I Love Lucy
Sports Night
The Dick van Dyke Show
All in the Family

Hill Street Blues
St. Elsewhere
The Twilight Zone
Star Trek
Babylon 5

Open it up to 10 spots, and I'll go with:

Cheers
Seinfeld
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Happy Days

Homicide: Life on the Street
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Playhouse 90
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
Dallas

How bout some variety shows:

The Ed Sullivan Show
Your Show of Shows
The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
Late Night with David Letterman
Carol Burnett Show

Mini-series?

The Prisoner
Band of Brothers
From the Earth to the Moon
Roots

Shows that may never go off the air but deserve recognition:

The Today Show
60 Minutes
SportsCenter
Meet the Press
Monday Night Football

das

* Shows like The Sopranos, The Simpsons, South Park, Law & Order, Buffy, The West Wing ... all strong candidates ... all still on the air.

Seinfeld, not Sienfeld. It is/was/will ever be the best show on TV.
