I don't dislike the show, I think it's just ok. I'd say as far as primetime sitcom's go it's above averageish, IMO. It's nowhere near as good as something like Modern Family, Arrested Development or even 30 Rock.

What about Mary Tyler Moore also? or was that on there?
EDIT: Whoops, it was, and top 20 at that. :embarrassed:

Up until the last season it was solid. The last season, with the exception of the mother herself, was garbage.
I love how high Friday Night Lights is. I just watched the show on Netflix about a month ago and it is amazing.
Way too many shows on that list from the last 5-10 years, IMO. But then again, it was a list made up of Hwood insiders, not critics and it isn't the "best" or "most classic". There are some great old shows that clearly nobody is watching right now. I am disappoint that 3's Company didn't make the list though.
The lists definitely shows the age of most of the people surveyed.
- Scooby Doo (The ******* Flintsones made it, but not Scooby Doo?)
- The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson (not sure if talk shows were omitted)
- Hogan's Heroes
- CSI (unless I missed it, I'm really surprised this didn't make it)
- 3's Company
- Magnum PI
- Barney Miller
- WKRP in Cincinatti
- Coach
- Home Improvement
- Knight Rider/Baywatch - no Hof anywhere??
No soap opera was listed, yet some of those have been on the air forever.
Plus, I guarantee shows like Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Dynasty, etc were on a lotta tv's in the 80's

I have to confess that I've only watched one episode of How I Met Your Mother.
Those who know every episode can probably guess which one I watched.

As much as we all love Chuck, I can understand why it's not on a "Hollywood Insider's 'Top 100'". It was extremely niche, and quite honestly, it's lucky it made it 5 seasons.
What kind of surprised me is for the image they used for the X-Files, I believe that's actually a scene from the movie.
I personally loved the show overall. The comedy itself was nothing groundbreaking, but the overall plot device was an original idea that was a great way to get people to bear through some bad episodes (and seasons, like the last one) to continue ratings through the end.
I also don't get the hate for Big Bang Theory. Is it cutting edge or anything? No. But not all sitcoms need to be. It's a smart comedy that appeals to the masses. I actually consider that more like Friends than I do HIMYM.
Glad to see some of my favorites at various levels...West Wing, ER, MASH, Firefly, X Files, Hill Street Blues...I was a little surprised that NYPD Blue didn't make the cut.
Friends, HIMYM, & Seinfeld never interested me...nor did any of the animated series. Yup. I'm old.

I guess you have to consider time period and nostalgia. The original is probably the most Influential sci-fi series ever, but doesn't necessarily hold up all that well over time.
not sure a single season show like Freaks and geeks should be that high. Definitely not better than scrubs.
