Agree with wedge - -
The Prisoner and the Emma Peel
Avengers should be there. I'd put the latter a bit above
X Files (a show I'm quite fond of) since it was its forebear. Those episodes were wild. Parang Grant Morrisson ang nagsulat!
The Wire is hands down and inarguably the best TV show, American or Brit or Pinoy, of the last ten years - - -with
Deadwood a close second,
West Wing third. But I can live with
Simpsons at Number One and most of the rest of the Top 10 except maybe
Seinfeld should be there instead of the uber-
feh Friends. And maybe
6 Feet Under and
Twin Peaks should be higher,too . . . I dunno . . . and
Scrubs . . .and
The Shield . . . . Oh well, it's a poll . . . that's how these things hang . . .no accounting for whatever . . .
No
Twilight Zone is criminal but what can you do? Kids these days, no sense of history. . . which might explain why there's no
Muppet Show or the Adam West
Batman . . .
but no
70s Show either . . tsk tsk tsk . . .or the great but cancelled
Northern Exposure . . . and yet
Prison Break and
Sex and the City and
Alias (JJ Abram's waterloo, IMO) and
Heroes (although going from an OK show to the worst show on TV in the space of a season is some kind of achievement, must admit) make it.
Oh well, at least
Desperate Housewives,
Grey's Anatomy,
Amazing Race and
Survivor didn't make the cut.
