In 1995, TV Guide selected 12 performers whom they considered at the time to be the medium's brightest. The list was compiled alphabetically and all were certainly deserving. If you could choose your own pantheon for 2012, who would it be? and there are a few rules.

#1. Your list must include only 12, no more, no less and no honorable mentions or ties.

#2. You can list them in any order you want

#3. Choices can be living or deceased

#4 All genres are eligible

The 1995 pantheon:

#1. Lucille Ball
#2. Jack Benny

#5. Sid Caesar
#6. Johnny Carson
#7. Jackie Gleason

All of these are among my favorite performers but there were some that I actually liked more that weren't included.

My criteria for this list:

Longevity
Overall talent
Contributions to the TV industry

My all-time favorite actor is Cliff Robertson and although he did some TV work, I didn't include him because he's primarily known as a movie actor.
