These lists are (to me) rather pointless: how can one compare different genres (sitcoms, dramas, variety shows, etc.)?

I was a little surprised that Happy Days didn't make the Entertainment Weekly list. It did run for 11 years. If Good Times and All in the Family made the list, why didn't Barney Miller? Dukes of Hazzard?

the 1960's series Batman with Adam West and Burt Ward

The Incredible Hulk with Bill Bixby

Wonder Woman with Lynda Carter

What about Boy Meets World? (I heard Girl Meets World is supposed to come out this year with a few of the original cast in that).

Burn Notice didn't make their list either. :confused:

Nobody has. It wasn't even that popular on HBO, the channel that aired it.

Any poll that has I Love Lucy all the way down at #11 and The Honeymooners at #20 shouldn't be taken seriously.

Yes, thank you. Three's Company (your avatar) should have made the list before some of these too.

No disrespect to those who love those shows, but I toast that comment.
