I am ok with these show's rankings. In fact, I think The Real World should be higher. Everyone considers Survivor the show that spawned the reality show genre, when in fact The Real World predates by a few years.

Any list anyone here makes will reek of bias.
If it was up to me, the top five would be home movies, arrested development, the office, wayans bros., and rocko's modern life, in no particular order but of course more people would disagree w/ that list than the current one.

I really do believe this. Lots of my favorite shows are on here, so I'm not complaining about the shows I like not being on the list. There really aren't 100 good television shows, in my opinion.TheHeretic said:

DEAR GAF HATERS,
Why are you so critical of this list? This list, written by Entertainment Weekly for their own narrow audience, was obviously not meant for the entertainment counterculture (of which gaf takes part). Everyone here, for the most part, understands that entertainment produced for the mainstream audience is prepackaged shit, meant to make as much money as possible through prime time advertising. This list is obviously meant for 40 something women looking for a fix of celebrity gossip just after picking up their kids from school who are only casual tv watchers.
Just take it for what it's worth, and don't get so pissed that awesome shows like Battlestar aren't on it.

Even though it did pretty well for itself, Arrested Development deserves a higher spot.

There, I saved everyone from watching Frasier. The only other series that has such transparent set up jokes is Fresh Prince.

If there's any series that doesn't have obvious set-ups to its jokes, it's Frasier.

I don't know about that, Eddie was pretty cool.DeaconKnowledge said:
I prefer their list to the shows a bunch of you guys are naming. What was so great about Deep Space Nine and Scrubs is one of the most pretentious unfunny shows out there. Anytime you go to the huge lengths that Scrubs goes through to be funny you usually fail. Doesn't matter how hip you claim to be. I disagree with the Simpsons being that high and also Sex in the City but their list isn't that bad. Plus 1 for Six Feet Under. Would have made my top 10. No show I've seen is more human than that one.
I'm glad Gilmore Girls gets recognition. Otherwise this was a shit list with Twin Peaks so low it's funny and with some odd crap spread around, and -- most importantly -- an insane lack of non-US show, even if limited to English speaking programming they should've had 40% more Brit shows.
