TIME Magazine’s 100 Best TV Shows of All Time
So, what would you say the greatest TV show ever was?
Everyone has an opinion. Most of them are quite contemptible ;-)
However, we are all fascinated by Top 100 (or 50 or 10) Lists.
Today, we offer such a collection of greatness. It’s TIME Magazine’s list of the 100 best TV shows of all time.
The list is alphabetized, so there’s no bad-to-best order.
Is your favorite show on the list?
The commentary is priceless, too. Check out this review of Rocky and Friends, aka Bullwinkle:
Considering that we didn’t all get blown up, I think we can now agree that the Cold War was worth it, if only for giving us this Ike-era spy-vs.-spy send-up, in which Rocket J. Squirrel and lovable dimwit Bullwinkle J. Moose defended the US of A against Pottsylvanian sneak Boris Badenov and the slinky Natasha Fatale. Writer-animator Jay Ward’s other creations (on Rocky as well as its follow-up The Bullwinkle Show) included oblivious Mountie Dudley Do-Right; time-traveling canine inventor Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman; and the Fractured Fairy Tales narrated by Edward Everett Horton. All shared a love of puns (Bullwinkle was an alum of Wassamatta U), a fast pace and a nothing-sacred sensibility. Rocky may not have won the space race, but it gave red-blooded American kids a leg up on the Russkies in appreciating satire.
Good stuff. Enjoy.
