I don’t think I ever loved a show more than this at the time, and for many years after to this day. Such a perfect snapshot of teenage life in the early ‘80s with a dynamite cast that obviously took off shortly thereafter.52 - Freaks and Geeks

Fans alike lamented the fact that it ended prematurely (due mainly to NBC’s mismanagement of finding an audience), but in hindsight it’s better it ended leaving you for more rather than dragging on for several seasons like most shows.

Some of us got the right answers. And some people thought Saved by the Bell was a top 70 greatest television show of all time.

This show has surpassed all sitcoms in the amount I’ve watched except maybe Seinfeld but give it a couple more years and it will be #1. My wife loathes it but it kills me.
The latest seasons have been a little hit or miss but the Frank vs Russia episode from last season is top 5. Not hyperbole, the acting Devito does at the end in the chess match with the anal beads may be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on television.

I had both on my list as well. That is also why I liked Married with Children once Jefferson Darcy joined the show. Him and Al also had a great bromance.

I thought about Friday Night Lights and it was one of the first things that I binge watched when I first got into streaming but honestly? I got a little tired of it after awhile. You guys talk about Beth etc. being a bad female character...Julie was such an annoying whiny little brat.

Good thing about this show is that bad episodes dont matter as long as there arent too many of them.
The great episodes do make it a top class show.

It really is a cool show. I love that the stand alone aspect allows them to use a variety of actors. I also love that they use creative ways to showcase the pitfalls of technology. Also, you can introduce it to people right in the middle of a season, and they miss nothing. It's almost like a modern day Twilight Zone, or something. I highly recommend it.Had no idea when I started watching this that they were mostly standalone episodes, so the first episode was a bit jarring. Great series with some amazing individual episodes.53 - Black Mirror

So good. All three of those clips.
The Come Sail Away is my favorite though. So incredibly accurate in how it captures the awkwardness, the fear, the humiliation, yet also the joy, and spontaneity of being a confused teenager

Based on past conversations on this board, I thought Freaks and Geeks would have been higher. I guess if it maybe had a couple more seasons, it would have been. The show is just a great collection of talent.
I loved Friday Night Lights. Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton were both amazing in that show. In the 1st season, you hated Riggs but then you found yourself pulling for him as the show went on. Texas Forever!

The cast has had a lot of outside projects in recent years, maybe stretching them a little thin. Charlie is in movies, Olson and Howerton had full-time roles in network shows, and McElhenny co-owns a professional soccer team.
My favorite DeVito moment is when he pretends to have dementia and tricks Dee and Dennis into digging up their dead mother. He nailed every aspect of that episode from the senility to the sinister.
AAABatteries
Footballguy
It was unreal that got Devito to join the cast and he’s still killing his role at 80. What a career that guy has had.

I think that was part of the schtick - having him checkmate his opponent with his king too.
ETA - and I know you can move your king and force a checkmate but that’s not what they showed

Another omission on my part. Not sure where I'd have put it but somewhere in the Top 70. Amazing cast in retrospect, great balance of comedy and longform storytelling and nice setting of 1980's surburbia from high schoolers' points of view52 - Freaks and Geeks

You're right - they show a side view and nobody has moved, but when Frank's hand is hovering, white had moved a pawn... that's fine, it's not the point of the scene.It seemed those were the words used, but if you look white has already made the first move.Black went first?Frank vs Russia

It’s March, and I’m mad and upset people didn’t choose Star Trek or I Love Lucy in an all-time greatest TV draft.

It was a drama that had adults and teens in it. They lived in the small town of Dillon, TX. The coach (Kyle Chandler) and his wife (Connie Britton) had significant storylines in the show. Their friend Buddy was in it a lot as well. Teens were a big part of it, because he was a high school football coach, and his wife was a guidance counselor and then a principal. The teens were great actors, and it was a launching pad for some like Zach Gilford, Jesse Plemons, Michael B Jordan, Taylor Kitsch, etc. Whoever the casting director was did a great job at finding young talent. Anyway, I think it was very good series.

Back-to-back pickes for me! Freaks and Geeks #7 and IASIP #3!
BLOCKED_PUNT
Footballguy
Well, I know 12 of the 50. If I'm right I'll be a little shocked that they (2 shows) made the top 50 and if I'm wrong I'll be shocked that they didn't make the top 300. 28 of my shows didn't even make it and some of the shows I thought were very good were low on this list so it's been pretty wild.

Absolutely. That was at the end of the pilot - I remember when first seeing it that this is a special show.
