Also, surprised that so many people had never heard of Mr. Show, especially with all the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul fans. It made my top 100 for sure, and I was surprised to not see my name on the list when it got posted. It must've been a last minute scratch, probably for something like Kim Possible.

I don't think anyone has said anything about old shows not being good. I (and Instinctive) just haven't heard of some of these older shows.

I have known one of the actors on that show, Matt Czuchry, since the third grade. We are the same age and went all the way through high school together. He is kind of an entitled prick. Country club kid. And he used to pick on me when we were kids because I have really bad eyesight.146 - Gilmore Girls

We got to be civil when he grew up a little and I’ve got a few autographs in middle and high school yearbooks. Still, I was kind of annoyed when I found out he’d made it big in Hollywood.

You're like 20 years younger than the rest of us, so they're not targeted at you.

Well...by modern day standards, I'll say some of them do not entertain/hold my attention enough to go back and watch through them with the wealth of entertaining content we do have at the fingertips in my somewhat limited time to watch stuff. Not the same as not good, but not gonna end up on my list as a result.

To be fair, a bunch of those old shows being mentioned for top ten all-time probably won’t make the top 300. Only mine were good guesses.

alot of actors gets typecast but I love love love when actors play against type. Robin Williams comes to mind.

Oh -- and to come full circle on the discussions of recent days, said friend was a child actor up until just before I met him when we were freshmen in high school. A year before I met him, he auditioned for the Cosby Show to play Vanessa's boyfriend. He was one of three finalists. The producers told him and his family that they would have to stay in/move to New York if he got the part (they lived in Philly). His mom said no and pulled him from consideration. He was extremely bitter about it and quit acting -- he didn't even do plays at our school. And he was about the only person in our school who didn't watch the Cosby Show.One of my best friends loves this show. He has impeccable taste in music and movies. As for TV, well, in his own words, "I have the same TV viewing habits as a 13-year-old girl."146 - Gilmore Girls

I think only one of yours is a good guess and I doubt either sniff top 10. Some of the other guesses won’t even be ranked like you said. If I had to guess your shows will be around 40 and 80.

Was going to say this too - I think the argument against Suits would be it being ridiculous legal work not unlikeable characters. If you watch the show you’d know that’s not the case - plus you get to watch Donna, Scottie and the princess.
ETA: I’d probably put those 3 up against any 3 you could come up with from another show. Maybe early Baywatch?

Just thought of another one - don’t think I’ve missed this ranked already
Leave it to Beaver
Still not close to top 10 and maybe not top 75 or so but could see it beating out one of your guesses.

I’ve never really watched it either. The one time I had a roommate, he was a very erudite dude. National debate champion. Really smart guy. He was OBSESSED with the GG. I watched a few episodes with h8m and just found it to be too forced. The banter especially. It just came off as a show trying WAY too hard to be hip/cutesy/witty/smarter/sorta edgy. It just didn’t register with me.

I’ve been through 3 auditions for a national 7/11 commercial. It’s down to me and some other 11 year old. I don’t get it. The reason they gave me was because I didn’t wear glasses. Even at 11, I was like that’s *********! I could’ve put on a pair of glasses!!, what a crock. The only commercial I was in was a French commercial for Orangina.

I know we are all busting balls a bit, but I think there is a bit of a difference between not knowing about White Shadow and not knowing about The Twilight Zone. (not saying that was specifically one you two were talking about, but I think you get my general point).

I can get not knowing The White Shadow - that was a time-and-place program. Anyone who doesn't know The Twilight Zone should be immediately banned from everything.
