tv guide's list of top 50 series of all time...

[ocelot]

Rockford Files was good and Columbo was good I agree.

Shouldn't Saturday Night Live be there?

 

[ocelot]

Maybe the "Red Skelton Show"? Marginal probably.

 

[IntenseOperator]

No Monte Python! :cursin:

Worse yet.....

NO DOCTOR WHO :mj13:

 

[THE HITMAN]

Ocelot........SNL is rightfully there at #10,maybe you just scrolled by it.
"All in the Family" gettin alot of ink here, I would put it in top 5. I like comedy, and it was one that really made me piss my pants, along with "Soap" & "Married". Not a series,tho,but just a comedian, recently RIP Rodney Dangerfield made me piss, too.
Just a note about "Columbo". It started out, anyway, if I'm not mistaken, only on once per 4 weeks. It rotated the spot with three other 1 hour shows in the same time slot. Maybe that is why it didn't get included.

 

[THE HITMAN]

& Oh yeh, I forgot, can someone plese tell me & Ocelot what the H is "American Family"? I never heard of it either & I have been around a long time & my house has watched it's fair share of TV.
"The Defenders" was a (B/W I think) lawyer type show from the 60's.............it was good.
No one has mentioned "Disney's Wide World of Color". A Sunday night staple for kids which rotated fantasy, adventure etc. One of the first color series.......was verrrry popular, it may even have been on for 1 1/2 hours per nite.

 

[Sun Tzu]

Where's Starsky & Hutch??? :mj07:

:mj07: :mj07:

Columbo #1

All in the Family a very close 2nd

"YOU MEAT HEAD!"

Glad someone else thinks so. Columbo #1 in my mind. Zero doubt. Have em all on DVD and can watch them over and over.

Assume you are right. The Sunday Mystery Movie it was called. I would think getting McMillan & Wife, Columbo,McLeod in ratation along with, depending on the year, Quincy,Banacek etc as one show would have to rate up there.

 

[THE HITMAN]

yes, Sun, there you go......Sunday Mystery Movie, it was. I couldn't remember what it was called, but remembered it was rotated.

 

[Sun Tzu]

FYI, hitman, werent one hour though some seasons 90 minutes, others 2 hours, but never 1 hour

 

[THE HITMAN]

I believe you wholeheartedly, Sun. My memory has gone the way of the nickel cigar, sometimes.

 

[JT]

Gotta think Married should'a been there. Some of those on the list I never even heard of:

Your Show of Shows,The Defenders, American Family, Playhouse 90??

And yeah, where are Happy Days, Barney Miller, Gilligan and Sanford? And what was the name of the show where the doctor Joel had to go to practice in Alaska to pay back his student loan? Great show but I forgot its name.

[Was it "Northern Exposure"?]

Yes it was and it's one of my alltime favorites. Certainly better then a few of those shows on that list. Dallas should be on that list also. Strange list either way, since when are talk shows considered 'series' anyway?

 

[DBLMUTZ]

posting my pick

 

[THE HITMAN]

Still waitin, tho, for someone to tell me who/what/where "American Family" was. I guess alot of us are havin' the same problem.
