Will this be another disaster like the Disney bracket?

Please list about 10 of your favorite shows so we can get some ideas for seeding... Let's Enjoy!!!
Can we please group the shows in their own genres and go from there, rather than being purely random?

I hate to kill this thread in the womb, but Star Trek: The Original Series is the greatest television show of all time.
The first serious "series" of science fiction that was not in vignette form (like Outer Limits and Twilight Zone) - it was an early hour long dramatic/adventure series, all in color, and launched William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy into superstardom.
The show's massive popularity in syndication (despite being stupidly cancelled by NBC, well prior to the promised 5-year run) - along with the seminal film 2001, directly paved the way for the science fiction "renaissance" of the 1970s and made possible the phenomenon known as "Star Wars".
In addition, the modern science fiction, RPG and comic book convention movement are directly traceable to the early Star Trek conventions of the 1970s.
Add to that, it spawned 4 sequel series, and ultimately 10 feature films (some folks claim up to 12 with an additional coming out, but I'm not one of those).
Once all that evidence is laid out - certainly there are other great shows - Hill Street Blues, Cheers, Frasier, Seinfeld, NYPD Blue, All in the Family, I Love Lucy, etc., but none can hold a candle to Star Trek.
It isn't even close.

This seems way too broad. You are going to have about 100 good suggestions. I would split by genera or time period.
