4. I would agree though....
...I don't have an opinion on Dukes. I strongly disagree with #8. Seinfeld is a great show.

7. I heartily agree with "Welcome Back Kotter"
being on your list--I liked it as a kid, but recently on TV LAND watched a couple of episodes and the acting and writing is HORRIBLE. I agree with many of the reality shows on your list as well, except for IDOL which I think is harmless enough. I also think SEINFELD is one of the best shows ever--so we agree to disagree on that one.

13. True
But I have watched and watched Steinfeld, and it is NOT funny
If I see Kramer falling down one more time, I am going to hurl a Cheney
I cant stand Julie Louis Dreyfuss, she is droll
Jerry has a whiney voice
Soup Nazi episode is ignorant
George is disgusting and a pervert

9. Wonder Years and Everybody Loves Raymond
Edited on Wed Jun-02-04 01:02 PM by sirjwtheblack
There was nothing funny, dramatic, good, or interesting about Wonder Years.

And anyone who likes Everybody Loves Raymond and is under the age of 60 needs a humor transplant. There isn't a less-funny man in the world than Ray Romano.

12. I must question your choices for #8.
Personally, I've never heard of "Steinfeld". I thought you might mean "Seinfeld" but it's impossible for anyone to hate that show, unless they're an America-hating commie. "Steinfeld" but have just been an extra-shameless one of those "Seinfeld" clones that came on in the mid-90s, but I must confess to never having seen it.

These people had lives better than 99% of the world, and yet they acted as though they lived these horrible existences.

28. As a Geni (Jeannie), I must register a token protest!
maybe it's a straight-guy/bisexual woman thing, but Barbara Eden was damned hot...I always wanted people to think of her when they said my name!

27. Mr. Ed. Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres...
Modern badness is half as bad as classic badness. When I was a kid we really knew how to do bad TV. You youngsters have a long way to go to catch up to the badness of Howdy Doody and Kookla Fran and Ollie.

but I just looked it up, and you're right. Police Squad was with Leslie Neilsen. Cop Rock was the musical NYPD Blue.

48. If you've never seen Police Squad! (In Color)
Do yourself a favor and rent or buy the video. You'll LOL for three solid hours and wonder why it was ever cancelled. IMO, it was much better than the movies, and almost as good as Airplane.

Manimal
Super Train
The FBI

32. #1: Full House
All other shows in TV history, no matter how bad, were excellent compared to that piece of dung.

I can't believe it lasted almost 10 years. Americans can't be THAT stupid to have let it go on forever like that.
