It appears it is in countdown from 10-1 (Although it could just be 10, no order):


10. The OC
9. Undeclared
8. Malcolm in the Middle
7. The Ben Stiller Show
6. 24
5. Firefly
4. King of the Hill
3. Arrested Development
2. X-files
1. The Simpsons

Honorable Mention:

Honorable mention: "Titus," "House," "Futurama," "Beverly Hills 90210," "Andy Richter Controls the Universe," "Parker Lewis Can't Lose," "Action!," "The Bernie Mac Show," "In Living Color," "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.," "The Tick," "Married... with Children"
Your top 10 and/or favorites?

That list is terrible. To only give Married with Children an honorable mention? Thats easly a Top 5 fox show, if not a top 5 sitcom of all time. No Family Guy either.

That being said

1. Simpsons
2. Married with Children
3. X-Files
4. King of the Hill
5. Futurama
6. Malcom in the Middle
7. Family Guy
8. 90210
9. House
10. That 70's Show

Sepinwall tends to not give a negative to a show that did not last very long..with his inclusion of Firefly and Ben Stiller show.

It is hard to select 10, I'd like to see you guys do it. Who does Werewolf/profit/fringe bump for you guys.

I'll have to think on it before I make any sort of list, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned America's Most Wanted.

I'm just guessing that for most people AMW might sit outside the top 10, and so maybe it is just not popping up?..

Outside of the OC... I like that list a lot.

Keen Eddie is still one of my all-time favorites.

Andy Richter Controls the Universe was excellent as well.

I'm kinda surprised that seminal shows like "24 Jump Street" or "The Tracey Ullman Show" were not at least honorable mentions in Sepinwall's piece.

Thanks. Replacing Undeclared with Boston Public. Also considered Sliders, Fastlane and Tru Calling.
