For me the ultimate is The Carol Burnett Show. The Family, Mrs. Wiggins, and all the characters made this a wonderful show!

I have a Top-16 List for Variety/Sketch TV Shows...

1-Big Chuck and Little John (Only seen in Cleveland)
2-Chappelle's Show (I dunno if this is a variety show, but if it is it has a twist)!
3-Monty Python (Same here)
4-Ed Sullivan
5-SNL
6-Laugh-In (This may be the first show that is inspired by sketch comedy)
7-Carol Burnett
8-Smothers Brothers (It would be high, but they got cancelled suddenly)!
9-Flip Wilson
10-Wayne Brady Show (It was a summer replacement, but enjoyable)!
11-Ray Stevens Show (Same scenario)!
12-Dean Martin Show
13-Your Show of Shows (The predecessor of SNL).
14-You Can't Do That On Television (I dunno if this show counts either)
15-In Living Color
16-SCTV
