re: What 4 TV shows are on your Mt Rushmore...

I'm surprised someone else mentioned it. I love space opera series. DS9 is in my top 10 series, but B5 was just awesome. There was a story and it was told. Not many filler episodes. I'm watching x files and the monster of the week episodes are not my favorite because they are filler.

The Wire
Arrested Development
Seinfeld
LOST

And to make it clear: Omar is Washington, GOB is Jefferson, Costanza is Teddy, and Desmond is Lincoln.

MASH
The Simpsons
Mad Men
The Andy Griffith Show

Bones
Buffy Vampire Slayer
Scrubs
Supernatural

Fraiser
South Park
Band of Brothers
MASH


Barely missed

Andy Griffith
WKRP
Cheers
Scrubs (show tanked so bad the last few seasons)

X-Files
LOST
Seinfeld

The fourth spot is held open for now. If I had to choose it would be either The Simpsons or The Sopranos, but I bet something will overtake those in the next several years.

quote:

---

Gunsmoke
Hawaii Five-O (original)
The Carol Burnette Show
Not sure which one takes Teddy's spot.

---

After a little time to refect here are shows in the running for Teddy's spot…
L&O: SVU
The Andy Griffith Show
The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
Seinfeld
Cheers


I thought about SNL & MASH, but they did stay strong for me all the way through. SNL has had its ups & downs. And as for MASH, they show got away from pure comedy and started trying to push an agenda.



As for characters or personalities:

Marshal Matthew Dillon
Andy Taylor
For 3 & 4, it's hard to pick between several: Johnny Carson, Hawkeye Pierce & Carol Burnette, Archie Bunker, Lucy Ricardo, Fonzie...etc.

Beverley Hills 90210
South Park
King of the Hill
Seinfeld

The Honeymooners
The Twilight Zone
Dean Martin Roasts
Tonight Show w/Johnny Carson
