Hate to spoil it but there is no such thing as the greatest tv show, everyone has a diiferent opinion of what they feel is the greatest and the same go's for the worst as well.

Best Anthology Show: Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color
Best Sit-Com: I Love Lucy, The Andy Griffith Show (tie)
Best Game Show: Hollywood Squares (the original)
Best Superhero: The Incredible Hulk, Batman (tie)

This is so very true which is why I hate when critcs list their Top-10 best (movies/TV/music) whatever because it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Like for example if a critic points to Seinfeld as the greatest TV show ever some 5 year old kid is going to say Spongebob Squarepants is the best, you can't come to an agreement.

Entertainment Weekly magazine had an issue a couple of months ago that had was about the 100 best in movies, music and tv shows. The 100 best tv shows article had I Love Lucy at #1. They also had lists for best dramas, comedies, sci fi, etc. Look for that issue in your local library.

Smile The Best...

Here is my two dollars' worth, Inflation:

Best Drama: Perry Mason

Best Western: Have Gun, Will Travel

Best Sci-Fi: Babylon 5

Best Variety Show: Hee Haw. Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In was a good contender.

Best Sit-Com: Beverly Hillbillies

Best Superhero: Superman
