That's a great list!! Except for Hazel, which I can't stand. I would replace it with I Love Lucy, which would be right at the top.

By the way, how come nobody has picked "Too Close For Comfort"? I figured that would have automatic for this topic, :lol:

1. I Love Lucy
2. Andy Griffith
3. Leave It To Beaver
4. Honeymooners
5. Happy Days
6. The Brady Bunch
7. The Beverly Hillbillies
8. Gilligan's Island

Also, The Waltons, which is a drama. And the Three Stooges, which isn't really a television show but short films. These are all best watched at night. Something about watching them at night makes them more alive and relaxes me.
