Scrolling through this thread has made me realize how out of touch I am with TV. I haven't seen a single second of most of the shows you guys are mentioning. I haven't followed a series in God knows how long. Senser's top 5 is easily the one with which I most identify (the thanks was really for George Michael's Sports Machine - used to make sure I was up late Sunday night to see that). Anyhoo, my top 5:
The Honeymooners
Cheers
The Cosby Show
Married...with Children
The Boondocks (okay, so I do like one recent show - even so, I saw most of this on dvd)
HM: Night Court, Seinfeld, Roc, Everybody Hates Chris, Hill Street Blues, The Simpsons, Tom & Jerry, Transformers, Voltron, Looney Tunes (original), Pinky and the Brain, A Different World, Sanford & Son, Dynasty, Living Single, Mythbusters, Jeopardy!
