Anyone notice FOL wasn't in TV Guide's Top 50 Shows?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ABlairican Pie · 05-05-2002, 09:45 PM

How could a show that was on NBC for almost a decade (9 seasons) NOT get into TV Guide's Top 50 shows of all time?????

°Bubbly Blonde° · 05-05-2002, 11:21 PM

That does suck. Does anyone know what shows got picked?

Paula · 05-06-2002, 12:45 AM

I think FOL IS one of the greatest shows of all time, as do virtually all of us who come here (well, ok I hardly ever come here any more).

However, let's face it- it's family shows that usually win. I really don't know which shows made it to the top 50, but I wouldn't be surprised if Family Ties and The Cosby Show made it to that list.

Seinfeld? SEINFELD?!? SEINFELD?!?!?!?!?!?!? How the hell did Seinfeld get Number one?????? I mean I know Number 2 is still good, but honestly I Love Lucy should have been Number one! This is wrong. Seinfeld should have have even made the list, nonetheless number one! And how did Buffy Get in there? Why won't ya just hit me with a 2 by 4. It would be less painful!

Kay Scarpetta · 05-06-2002, 11:17 AM

That's so wrong.

InspectorExstead · 05-06-2002, 02:11 PM

i think they were drunk when they made these. obviously fol is number 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but, of that list, 1 <3 Lucy shoulda been #1, with the MTM (mary tyler moore) show 2nd and ER 3rd.

stupid ppl who didn't put fol on there...die die die! ok, maybe not but they shoula put fol on there!

But it IS a family program...I mean, they deal with some pretty big issues, but it's still TV-G, unlike All in the Family or Three's Company....I don't see why it's not in the top 50!!! Maybe if they came out with a top 100 it would be on there..?? lol

Sean Snow · 05-06-2002, 05:52 PM

I never really listen to TV Guide...none of my top three favorite shows made it in there so....Buffy over Dark Shadows????? *Shoots TV Guide* Buffy is a rip off of Dark Shadows!!!

Sorry, had a moment there

*Marilyn Monroe* · 05-06-2002, 07:52 PM

How the heck could Seinfeld make #1?? And Friends has to be farther at the top then 21! God, these people are ********

Yeah! That's messed up!

ABlairican Pie · 05-06-2002, 09:31 PM

"The Fugitive" (1963-1967) was a GREAT SHOW. One of my top favorite shows of all time, next to Facts, of course.

K I had my moment!

LynnFOL · 05-06-2002, 11:45 PM

I noticed that too! I was so upset! And I agree about those people bein' drunk while makin' this list. FOL deserves to be #1, or at least make the list!

Well, considering that Sesame Street made it to the list, I see what you mean. The other thing is that FOL is one of the longest running sitcoms of all time (although Cheers and a few others lasted longer), if I'm not mistaken. Plus I still can't get over the fact that people come to Sitcoms Online to discuss FOL more than any other sitcom. So yes, I definitely agree that it should have made it to the top 50.
