Going off of Milkdog's Thread...

Best Show Ever?

For me...

1/2 Hour: MASH

1 Hour: HILL STREET BLUES

I'd have to break into genres:

Comedy: Simpsons

Drama: Law & Order

Yeah, same thing. :)

Comedy - Simpsons
Drama - Law And Order

Comedy - Cheers
Drama - Quantum Leap

Comedy: I Love Lucy
Drama: EZ Streets

Comedy: I Love Lucy
Drama: L.A. Law

Ever since I read the title of this thread, I've had the theme to "The Simpsons" running through my head...

Babylon 5.

Runnerups: The Simpsons, MASH, Cheers, My So-Called Life, hmmm...give me time to think of more. :)

Comedy: All in the family.
Drama : NYPD Blue

comedy- Simpsons
drama- no friggin idea, don't watch it

Mash or Dukes of Hazzard.

The Simpsons
The Kids in the Hall

The X-Files, everything else is $hit IMO. ;)

Homicide

M*A*S*H with a doubt for me.

Just curious, would anyone change their answers if the topic was qualified with Best Show Ever For One Season? I don't mean shows that lasted only only one season, but a show that for one season of its run, was simply outstanding, like the first season of Murder One. For my money, their first season was one of the best shows to ever grace the airwaves; it was riveting. After that,......eh.

IIRC, the first season of Hill Street Blues was better than any following season. And St. Elsewhere fans crow about the, I think, third season as being the best of the best.

Seinfeld

I Love Lucy

M*A*S*H

What's Happening? :p

THE FAMILY GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HANDS DOWN....RABBIT WINS THE RACE...CALL FOR "NO CONTEST"!!!!!! I have never laughed so hard at a show in my life. Anyone know when it will return (if it will)?

comedy: The Simpsons
non-comedy: The Twilight Zone

Comedy: Seinfeld

Non-Comedy: Star Trek: The Next Generation

I think my choice brings that up a bit. I picked EZ Streets, which was one for all of 8 episodes. But those were some great episodes.

The correct answer is Twin Peaks.
(With Homicide a close second.)

For me, it would be a tie between I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show. Both of these shows were pioneers in the situation comedy genre. Both set standards that most newer shows have tried to duplicate. Especially I Love Lucy, which invented most of the concepts we now associate with sit-coms.

The Simpsons
The Twilight Zone

(I was wondering where guyot's been?)

The Simpsons
Twin Peaks (so influential for such a short run)

come on how about:

ALF

The Simpsons
Sports Night - Best written show I have ever seen

Very close race between The A-Team and Dukes of Hazzard.
I guess it was just the awesome plot lines and riveting dialogue.

The Simpsons
Miami Vice

All in the Family

Simpsons no doubt

lorenzoh....wow...you made me remember some great TV in

"The Twilight Zone" for drama and suspense

for comedy, there are just so many good ones....Of all of them, the one that comes to mind the most for me is Hogan's Heroes.

TV SHOWS
 

Twin Peaks
Roseanne
Golden Girls
Newsradio

THE CHARMINGS
(ABC 1987-1988)

Quantem Leap, OZ, Cheers and Boston Republic, oh, and of course The Simpsons!

I gotta say... The best show ever is...

Sanford and Son.

Friends - Because no matter what happens throughout your life there's a corresponding Friends episode that will help you through it. :p
