The Great 2020 All Time Television Draft: The Simpsons is judged the greatest show of all time (4 Viewers)

Not sure if the spreadsheet is up to date, I should have Marie Barone as TV Mom thanks!

For me, Rhea is amazing in this role

Pick 35 - Kim Wexler - Supporting Woman - 1990-20
I had her high on my list, just couldn’t figure out whether she was a lead or supporting. 

 
35.08 The Sopranos "Made in America"- Finale

This will either score well or get hammered... and I get it. I have myself went from hating  to loving the Finale and most specifically the final scene. Did Tony die? Did he live? That had been beaten to death the last 13 years, but the fact that its still being talked about means that it was, at the very least, an unforgettable ending.

Yes he died and the nihilistic manner of the ending is exactly the theme of the show. Sheesh. 

 
"Final answer?"

35.14: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Game Show

As the first U.S. network game show to offer a million-dollar top prize, the show made television history by becoming one of the highest-rated game shows in the history of U.S. television. The U.S. Millionaire won seven Daytime Emmy Awards.
This one kind of breathed new life into the genre, as it seemed like the formats from the 1970s had carried over into the 1980s and 1990s and new shows weren't really coming to the fore.

Nice Snipe.  This this should rank decently.  I had a whole write up ready,,,, dang

 
I’ve been sitting on this one for a while now, and I’d be upset if I missed out on grabbing him since my original list for this category was only Vin Scully and this legend.  Yo Mama selects:

35.16 – Chick Hearn – Sports Play by Play

Obviously I’m tainted as a Laker fan, but Chick is one of the greatest ever in his field.  Growing up in the pre-Showtime days, Chick taught me the finer points of the game and to love basketball.  One of the few to have a majority of his games simulcast on both TV and radio at the same time, he was the voice of the Lakers for generations.

Some highlights:

- He called Lakers games from 1965 until 2002 (his last called game was a Lakers championship)

- In that time, he called an amazing 3,338 consecutive games!!!

- Known for popularizing the terms Slam Dunk, Air Ball, Give and Go, Finger Roll, No Harm No Foul, as well as his trademark of putting a sealed game “in the refrigerator” and countless other Chickisms.

- Made numerous other TV and movie appearances, most famously Fletch, The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh, and The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan’s Island

- His voice was in the Pink Floyd album The Wall on “Don’t Leave Me Now”

- Called the first Ali-Frazier fight on cctv

- Called the 1992 Olympic basketball games for the olympics telecast

- Naismith Hall of Fame member as well as broadcasting HOF

- With all the hall of fame Lakers numbers hanging in the rafters, Chick has his own banner and his own statue outside Staples Center

- Has his own street and blue line stop named for him

- Has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

36.01 – Dexter Morgan – 91-20 Leading Man Drama

What can be said about this incredible, complex character?  I’m spent after the Chick writeup so I won’t even try.  Five Emmy nominations and three golden globe nominations for Michael C. Hall for this role.

I thought about this one and the other legendary LA play by play guy (Not Vin Scully) who I like better but didn't figure they would score well because they were team specific guys.  

Chick was outstanding and I hated to watch Lakers in the 80's when they were on CBS because there was no Chick putting the game in the Fridge.  

Great pick.

I’m rooting for Tim to be the judge of this category. 

 
36.5 Leading man drama 1991-2020 - Det. James "Jimmy" McNulty 

When he wasn't out drinking and driving, the man was real po-lice. 

 
I will go with a couple newer loves since I was considering both for a character category along the line too.  

34.02:   LUTHER (foreign show) 

Idris Elba is awesome! 

35.15:  ORPHAN BLACK (action show) 

A little cheesy at times, but it's a powerhouse performance from Maslany.   Her being able to juggle those different characters was something special.  I am glad she finally won an Emmy for her efforts.   The show was fun as hell.   

 
I believe character was taken, but not the show:

36.02:  VERONICA MARS (teen show)

Wife and I both loved this show.  Was similar to Buffy in that it was smart, had some good humor, and was well written.

HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU FORGET BOWLING FOR DOLLARS?

 
I know, he’s got so much going on, I had to pare down the list. I was also going to list out the 90% of all time Lakers nicknames that he came up with.  His Wikipedia page is crazy. 
My Fave Chickism was, "Wilkins is so cold, he couldn't throw a pea in the ocean."

 
I am judging this one.   I'm a bigger Laker fan than Timmy.  Easily have been to way more games than he has.
Probably. I had season tickets at the forum for 3 years as a kid. But we went to maybe half of them. As an adult I’ve been to maybe 12 games at Staples. 
So I would guess a total of about 60-70 in my life.
