I listed the Top 20 by Variety. My choices for my Top 20 would only include Seinfeld, Cheers and All in The Family. Mad Men may make my Top 25. I watched I Love Lucy when I was a kid but more because my mother watched it and we only had one TV back then.

MASH was #24 on Variety’s list but it is on my top 5. West Wing was ranked #25 by Variety but I would probably have it 10 or more spots higher on my mine.

The Sopranos richly deserves its high ranking. The Tonight Show was ranked #52 but I feel it is undervalued given the cultural influence it had on the country when Johnny Carson was host.
