Among my favorites are...
Simpsons
Cheers
Seinfeld
Frasier
Good Times
All in the Family
Sopranos (anyone else even say that yet?)
X-Files
Star Trek (original/TNG/DS9.. don't like the last two)
Dream On (HBO series from the early 90's.. it was hysterical. Michael McKean was an occasional character on it. Any TV with McKean is apt to be damn good!)
Dick Van Dyke Show
I Love Lucy
Larry Sanders Show
Hill Street Blues
Law and Order
Malcolm/70's Show
ER (used to love it, though I haven't really watched it in about four years)
Shark Week on Discovery !!!!!!! (probably doesn't count, but every year, I always stop what I am doing to watch it)
And of course, if I were still seven, the Six Million Dollar Man and Battle of the Planets would be the coolest things going.
Last but not least, the funniest show on TV today is without a doubt, Arrested Development (Sunday 9:30 on FOX) The time slot sucks, but that's what TiVo is for! It's produced by little Opie Cunningham (Ron Howard) and about a really screwed up family. It's twisted, perverse, completely off-the-wall, intelligent and just piss in your pants funny. Like Seinfeld, it's full of extremely selfish, mysogonistic characters and pretty much has no redeeming societal qualities.
Little House on the Prairie it ain't.
I'm glad I TiVo it. In fact. I have never made it through an episode without having to pause it because I can't stop laughing. I highly highly highly recommend it!
