Agree with 1 and 2. Also Breaking Bad, cheers, Frazier and Mash.

Sad Andy isn't in top 20. Travesty actually. The writing on that show was years ahead of its time.

I don't know. The Andy Dick Show didn't have the Neilson ratings of the others but I think there was a strong cult following.

Agreed.  I Love Lucy over Andy is fail.  We're doing the Sunday School series where you watch an episode of Andy Griffith and talk about the "lesson" that episode conveyed.  We switched over to The Beverly Hillbilly's this past Sunday and it was the original episode.  That thing was hilarious. 

To show you how TV has changed, in the opening scene of TBH, Lou...I mean Granny, is sewing and tells Jed about how Ellie May needs to start dressing like a girl.  She holds up a shirt and tells Jed that she's popped the buttons off this one.  In the original version, Jed says something about nature taking over...obviously meaning Ellie May got her boobies.  That line was cut from the show because you can't be talkin' bout no titties on a family show.

Agreeance.  It is easily top 5 of all time.  I would have it at 1 or 2 personally, with Seinfeld.

Sad to say, I have never seen one episode of:

Mad Men
The Wire
Six Feet Under
30 Rock

They always seemed to conflict with WWE Rasslin'.
