4merper4mer Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Favorite office character? Stanley and Joyce do it for me. Always have a real life Stanley and Joyce in any large company . Wtf is Joyce? Jan?
Alaska Darin Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 1. All in the Family. Turn on an episode today and it's still hysterical and relevant. There was nothing like it on television and there still isn't. 2. The Sopranos. The show that revolutionized modern television and gave birth to virtually every great non-network show that followed. Hail. 3. The Wire. Sharp, relevant, thought provoking. Amazing writing and a level of grit that has yet to be matched. 4. Seinfeld. "A Show about Nothing" managed to be hilarious for its entire run. A terrific cast, led by a comedian who couldn't act at all. 5. NYPD Blue. Incredibly controversial, especially in the early years. Brought nudity and profanity to network television while telling great stories. Like the Sopranos, everything that came after it owes NYPD Blue a debt of gratitude. Honorable Mentions: Deadwood, The Shield, Rescue Me, M*A*S*H, Star Trek, and "The Larry Sanders Show".
boyst Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Star Trek (franchise) South Park The Simpsons Twilight Zone Sesame Street i didm't even look at yours before typing, but eerily similar to mine, sans andy griffith and breaking bad breaking bad is only ony there because its the only show created in the last 20 years i am interested in.
The Poojer Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Andy Griffith and the Dick Van Dyke Show are shows that will always stand the test of time....brilliant shows that would probably sit atop the ratings if they were current shows. i didm't even look at yours before typing, but eerily similar to mine, sans andy griffith and breaking bad breaking bad is only ony there because its the only show created in the last 20 years i am interested in.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Game of Thrones NYPD Blue Barney Miller Monty Python's Flying Circus Seinfeld
row_33 Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Monty Python was ruined by those mediocre splashbergers people who think they are witty if they yell out parts of sketches. That describes 100 percent of people who do this, nobody does it good... can they a least try the Dirty Vicar sketch?
DC Tom Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Not one mention of I Love Lucy? Every other show (save The Honeymooners) wouldn't even exist without I Love Lucy. It literally invented modern television.
BUFFALOKIE Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Not one mention of I Love Lucy? Every other show (save The Honeymooners) wouldn't even exist without I Love Lucy. It literally invented modern television. Tom, Tom, Tom. You are the last person I expected to misuse "literally". Edited March 19, 2017 by BUFFALOKIE
RaoulDuke79 Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Westworld is making a solid run to get into my top 5....we'll see how next season goes.
Saxum Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Not one mention of I Love Lucy? Every other show (save The Honeymooners) wouldn't even exist without I Love Lucy. It literally invented modern television. That is like saying a flat stone is a top appliance because it was used for cooking first. I liked I Love Lucy but it is not top 5 IMO; I'd watch it maybe if it was on TV in waiting room.
Roundybout Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 No order: MST3K Simpsons (early series, they're beating a dead horse now) Mad Men Breaking Bad Twilight Zone The Outer Limits Home Improvement The Cosby Show
row_33 Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Lucy and Bob Hope didn't strike the funny bone of people born after 1960. Curly and Harpo Marx will be funny to us childish men for another 1,000 years.
McBeane Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Wtf is Joyce? Jan? I was assuming he meant Phyllis due to the seating arrangements but I decided to let it slide
Saxum Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Lucy and Bob Hope didn't strike the funny bone of people born after 1960. Curly and Harpo Marx will be funny to us childish men for another 1,000 years. Loved Bob Hope but I am on the border being born in 1961. I liked Lucy but not she was as good as some think.
Mark Vader Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) M*A*S*H The Dick Van Dyke Show Lost Buffy the Vampire Slayer Supernatural Honorable mentions: 24, The Transformers, Beast Wars, Angel, Person of Interest, WKRP in Cincinnati, Mystery Science Theatre 3000 Edited March 19, 2017 by Mark Vader
