I hate these lists that are mostly made up of American shows (or movies, as the case may be) with a few token British offerings to demonstrate...something. Either restrict it to US shows only (my preference) or have the intelligence to include classics like Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, I'm Alan Partridge, Phoenix Nights and Black Adder, which are better shows than most of the list.
Leaving off The Andy Griffith Show completely invalidates the list.

At first glance, I see 24, Battlestar, and Felicity and want to tear this list to shreds; but on closer inspection, it's really not that bad considering*.

when I spotted BSG on the list. Oh well, it could have been worse- they could have put Heroes on there.

He really needed to have better criteria on what consitutes "a television show". He's got A Charlie Brown Christmas on there (one-shot) and a freakin' DECADE of MTV!

I can deal with 'Angel' not being on the list, but really "ER" didn't make the cut (I'm also a little upset 'Everwood' didn't make the cut, but I can live with that)? I know the show has been a shell of its former self the last 5 years or so, but durring seasons 3-7 it was probably the best thing on television...
I really like that GILMORE GIRLS and MY SO CALLED LIFE made the list, personally I think they are two of the most underretated television shows ever.
I also love how they call THE SIMPSONS the "best. TV Show. Ever"

Ok, I know people don’t like me talking about Scrubs but if fu*king god damn SpongeBob SquarePants can make the list, why not Scrubs?
The list is invalid because American Idol is on it. WORST. LIST. EVER.
No ER, The Fugitive, Mission: Impossible, etc...= ???
